Live Life Wisely

As we grow up, time seems to go faster. When you become a parent it's less likely to find time for yourself as you are running all the daily errands. What if you could have your monthly supplies shipped to your door? You would save a tremendous amount of time and money as you gas tank will last longer, wouldn't you? Have you ever considered shopping online your monthly supplies from out-of-state retailers or virtual stores that don't charge State Tax? Just for you to know, Miami-Dade County has a 7% Tax and there are many other states that have a higher rate.

Shopping online also reduces impulse buying.

When we go to the store we purchase items we don't need just because the retailers put them in a special place with a huge ON SALE sign that makes you want and need the product.

If you go to the store with kids that amount can easily be doubled as they probably would want to buy a snack, a cookie box with their favorite character in it, a toy or a book.

It is a fact that living a greener life is healthier and it also helps protect our planet. A wide variety of eco-friendly product are available online as well and you don't have to go to special natural and organic stores to get them.

Think about it: a $5-8 shipping charge will probably be less than the money you would spend on gasoline in a week going to 3-4 different stores to buy your supplies. Also it is true that many retailers offer free shipping after you reach certain amount in your total purchase.

Or maybe you go to one of those mega super stores where it takes you 2 hours in and out (if you are lucky) to get every item on your list, and still you might have to use 2-3 gallons of gas to get there and back at an average of $2.60 per gallon.

So next time you write your shopping list, take some time to search online, you will be surprised what you can find on the world wide web!
