Top 5 - Time Saving Tips - Online shopping

I am due to go back to my day job shortly (after some maternity leave) and it has made me start to think about how I can and currently do save time in my day.  Time is something that we all need more of so I thought this is something that I would like to share and would love your tips on how to save time also.

Since having my first child I have learnt to become a fan of online shopping.  At first I was a bit concerned, but on a whole I have found it a massive time saving tool and the cost is normally cheaper or with postage at least no worse than what I would pay in the shops.  When you factor in travel time and the stress of getting out with a couple of kids, I think online shopping can only be a good thing.  Here is my top 5 online shopping sites.

Coles online - www.colesonline.com.au - for a small fee you can do your grocery shopping online and Coles will have a personal shopper get your goods (and they do pick the good stuff!), bring it to your house, unpack it and put it on your kitchen bench.  What could be easier than that?

Chemist direct -www.chemistdirect.com.au - chemist direct is as its name suggests, it is a chemist online.  I have found some items are a little more expensive but some are a lot cheaper.  So if getting out is too hard or you have a sick family this can be fantastic.  The orders normally arrive in a couple of days.

Peter's of Kensington - www.Petersofkensington.com.au - an online department store great for gifts (get the item wrapped and sent straight to the person) or for all your home ware needs.

Snap Fish - www.snapfish.com.au - don't go out to get photos printed again.  At snap fish you can get all your photo needs taken care of at great prices and with great service.

Zazzle - www.zazzle.com.au - Zazzle is great when you want to customise things like invitations, cards, t-shirts etc.  They have thousands of designs to choose from or you can import your own.

I hope this helps you save time and you get more 'me' time. xxx

  2. Thanks Shauna for your tips. I have looked at Strawberry net but have never actually bought anything from there. Never heard of book depository might have to go and check it out.
