Hi, Monica. I agree with you, and another source for nonperishables is Net
Grocer,
www.netgrocer.com
although Amazon is the best for buying things in bulk and I do that with
heavy things that are bulky to carry home in the cart I use when I walk to
the store. That would include laundry soap, toilet paper, paper towels, and
things like that...things that would take up a lot of room in the cart. I've
had a lot of problems with customer service at stores, too, so I can really
relate to those who have the same problem. Take care.
