Alice is a website that allows you to save time, money, and emergency trips out for toilet paper.  They were founded on the idea that you’d rather do other things besides waste time at the store.  They say that the average Alice customer saves 30 minutes per week. I can think of many things I can do with that extra 30 minutes, like become more self-sufficient.  Alice holds your shopping list online, has competitive pricing, price comparison, automatic coupons, reorder alerts, and free shipping!

I found out about Alice through an advertisement on another blog.  I checked it out and decided to give it a shot – I had nothing to lose.  I discovered that I not only saved time, but money as well.  What sets Alice apart from other sites is the price comparison, reorder alerts, and free shipping; with free shipping being the biggest benefit in my opinion.  You do not need to buy in bulk to save, but you do need to order at least 6 items.

The website layout is like a store shelf.  You can search for a particular product or just browse aisles.  Once you found your product,  you can perform a price comparison, see if there are any automatic coupons, browse reviews, check out ingredients, read the item’s description, add it to your order, or save it to “My Products” to purchase later.

I placed my first order with them a few weeks ago and it arrived in three days.  I ordered a variety of items including: super washing soda, borax, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, and a few bars of soap.  The items came nicely packed and everything intact.  The powder cleaners (this even happens when I go shopping myself) seemed to have leaked all over the other items; It was nothing a dust rag couldn’t handle.  I sent them an email with the problem and a possible suggestion to resolve it.  They customer service representative emailed back and passed the suggestion over to the shipping department.

Just adding the additional time to my schedule will be invaluable.  I am hoping to use this time to be more self-sufficient, write more content for my blog, or be more involved in the community.
