The states in the cold belt are turning white and icy as November creeps in. For most people in the upper tier of the US, lawns have been prepped for the upcoming months, storm windows put in place and all the small repairs for pipes and the like finished. One area that Amazon does particularly well is providing top brand products and for most items free shipping. For many families and individuals getting out in the Winter can be a chore. Walking on slush and ice with a 11-pound box of disposable diapers and other awkward packages with a new baby is a maneuver anyone can avoid by using Amazon.com.
As an example, currently Amazon is offering a $10 discount for all groceries purchased in excess of $49 on their web site. In addition to the discount for Huggies a top brand in the disposable diaper field, an order in excess of $25 qualifies for free shipping. The newborn size for babies up to 15 pounds has 192 diapers and sells for $29.95. Conservatively a new born will utilize six to eight diapers per day. So, this may be about a one month supply. If you double the order, the cost would be $59.90 and with the $10 off coupon the total order would be $49.90 and qualify for free shipping.
In comparing various on line stores for disposable diapers the Amazon store cannot be beat. The Health Pursuit on line store sells an 80-count variety of Huggies for $34.95 and in addition charges a $12.95 shipping and processing charge.
In reviewing various supermarket ads in the Helena, Montana area including big box stores there is a price range. For a 52 count at Safeway. Walmart carries a 40-count Newborn size that sells for $9.42. Nothing compares in price and ease in shopping like the offer through Amazon.
In addition Amazon sells in the grocery area sells everything from Orville Redenbarcher Pop Corn to named brand sundries, and a huge variety of shelf products like Kellogg’s cereals. All of these items are discounted and also qualify in combination with disposable diapers for the $10 off discount and free shipping. The disposable diapers will be delivered separately, but they can be included in the overall amount when applying the $10 discount coupon and free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Huggies-Baby-Shaped-Diapers-Gigglastic-Waistband. This is a limited offer, so you may want to act quickly.
In addition, Amazon has a best seller list for current books. While waiting for that next break in the weather, why not get a great new book from Amazon. Several books on the list have piqued my interest. John Grisham has a new book on the shelves called The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town. What a great author and how appropriate for rural families who know all too well, justice can be a matter of whom you know or who is easiest to scape goat. It is a nonfiction work that apparently this author the master of the novel undertook because the actual account was better than anything a writer with a great imagination could pluck from fiction.
The Innocent Man was recently published in October 2006 and sells at the Amazon discount rate of $16.36. The book concerns the actual account of the legal system’s ability to go awry in the small town of Ada, Oklahoma some 20 years ago. In addition, the author, a former attorney relied on another, work published during the time of the investigation and trial The Dreams of Ada, A True Story of Murder, Obsession, and a Small Town by crime writer by Robert Mayer. For anyone who likes mysteries and legal who did it, these two books will keep you occupied during the cold winter months. Both books can be purchased at Amazon for the discounted price of $25.71 with free shipping.
For those Stephen King fans, his new novel Lisey’s Story will be no disappointment. Having spent some eerie, but fun times in Maine there is no other place on earth as beautiful in the Summer, Spring or early Fall, but as bleak and spooky as rural Maine in the Winter, where the story takes place. Maybe that is why Stehen King moved there.
I have never known people as much in love with the murder mystery or a Boo’ya Moon nightmare place than people in Maine. People in Maine are well-read so it takes quite a novel to keep their interests. Lisey’s Story, published on October 24, 2006 sells for $16.17 on Amazon.
So, Amazon is the big recommendation for rural shoppers, who will find economy, good value and ease in shopping for the upcoming nasty season. Save your energy for a holiday event or other attraction.
