Alice.com: The Household Shopping Helper

Sick of spending your day off shopping for toilet paper and toothpaste? With the fantastic new online shopping portal Alice.com, you can get all the essentials delivered straight to your door—with completely free shipping.

Some things are fun to shop for. Books, for instance. Have you ever spent hours browsing through the shelves at your local used bookstore, searching for that hidden gem you’ve never heard of? And even though most of our music collections are electronically based these days, it’s always an indulgent pleasure to spend an hour or so sifting through the stacks of old CDs (and even vinyl, if you’re a purist), searching for obscure old tunes that remind you of your high school days.

You know what’s not so exciting to buy? Toilet paper. Neither is toothpaste, or cleaning solution, or any of the boring basic necessities of day-to-day living.

Unfortunately, we don’t have many options as far as that’s concerned: if you try to order such items online, you generally end up paying even more in shipping than the products are worth in the first place. As far as household goods are concerned, the grocery store is really your only option.

Until now.

Enter Alice.com, an online shopping portal that specializes in all the things you actually need: toilet paper, batteries, diapers, floss, et cetera. Prices are significantly lower than you’d find at the big-box stores, and any coupon available for a product is automatically applied. Alice even gives you polite reminders to let you know when it’s time to stock up again on your household supplies. But best of all, shipping is completely free.

We’re already sold on Alice, and we know you will be, too. Follow this link to sign up, and get a $10 credit to your account after spending your first $50. Alice is also offering a $100 giveaway to Gimundo readers this week only: to be eligible for a $100 credit on your Alice.com account, register for the site through our link any time between now and July 19th!
