Amazon Delivers Underwear?

A smart purchase generally means getting something for the lowest possible price. This, of course, can be penny wise and pound foolish. Always going with the lowest prices, for example, could lead to a neighbour's job going overseas or the erosion of an entire consumer group. It's pretty hard to argue with saving money though, even when it is a surprisingly small amount.

I found I could save just a bit over a dollar on several packages. Rather than buying Fruit of the Loom underwear at the uptown Walmart, it was cheaper to order on Amazon.ca and have them delivered right to my own door. Sure, why not? This is not the type of merchandise one must evaluate in person, nor would I have been able to open up the packages in the store anyway.



When I got home from uptown yesterday I found an Amazon box in front of my door. Because of where I live, paying extra for Prime delivery is not necessary. When I choose the 'free shipping' option, I generally get my merchandise within two working-days.

Of course, I found several more things I could use and the box also had a pair of travel binoculars and some USB to USB-c cables. These will be necessary for a new mobile phone. So, it was nearly as easy to pick up unplanned purchases on their site as when in a physical store.

Why bother traipsing around a mall?
