Question:
Do you recommend any stores?
Drugstore.com
Drugstore.com
Drugstore.com is a great online source with reasonable prices for all of your health, beauty, pharmacy, household, and vitamin/nutritional needs. They offer many name as well as house brands and also offer products from GNC stores.
Smarterkids.com
http://www.smarterkids.com
SmarterKids.com is a great place to get educational toys and materials for children. They offer great e-mail only specials when you join their mailing list. Shipping costs are average. In addition to accepting most credit cards, they accept Flooz too.
NetGrocer
http://www.NetGrocer.com/
Netgrocer.com is a great company to purchase grocery staples from. They have a great brand selection of pantry type foods and drugstore products (no prescriptions). They do not carry perishables such as produce, meat, deli, dairy, or frozen items. They do not offer "house" brands either.
Prices are moderate, however the convenience of not leaving your house to make a shopping trip can far outweigh the difference in price.
Shipping starts at $5.99 and is based upon order price. Shipping is FedEx 2-day service.
Personal experience has seen excellent care in the packaging of items. Customer service has been fast, courteous, and polite. The website is user friendly.
Try to offset slightly higher prices by using promotional coupons found on such sites as Coolsavings, Flamingoworld, and others. See my other links for these net addresses.
Categories
The purpose of the "Favorite Stores" category is to give a brief summary of the site. I will try to give information on type of products carried, shipping, returns, and any personal experience with it.
These stores are sorted in this category by type of products carried. If you need an alphabetical listing please refer to the "links" section of my Guru Resource Center.

Nutripeak.com
Nutripeak.com
Nutripeak has acquired e-Nutrition.com, one of my favorites. They offer a nice selection of vitamins, herbs, sports nutrition, body care, and weight management products all at great prices.
The site is easy to navigate. Customer service is responsive. Orders are shipped within 24 hours of being placed. You can call them at 1-888-292-PEAK for a free catalog.
Currently they offer new customers 10% off with code SH211A. Standard shipping is a flat rate $4.50 under 5 pounds; $5 for over 5 pounds but under 10 pounds. Anything over 11 pounds, International, or Priority Mail is priced based upon weight.
Coffee Wholesale USA
http://www.coffeewholesaleusa.com/
Coffee Wholesale USA is a real gem I came across on the Internet. I'm an avid fan of gourmet and specialty coffee and they offer a fantastic selection of ALL kinds of coffee, national brand, flavored, specialty, etc. all at reasonable prices.
So far I've tried the special varieties Celebes and Brazil Bourbon Santos--both are fantastic!! They do not over roast the beans like some companies do. (I tend to prefer a lighter roast). I've ordered the Chocolate flavored but haven't yet tried it. I'll let you know when I've tried it. Please take a look at this great website today.....
Outpost.com
Outpost.com
This store is similar to Amazon.com but on a smaller scale. They offer shopping in the following categories: Computers (PC and Mac), Electronics, Cameras, Games, Handhelds, Innovations (by Brookstone). You can also order from FultonStreet.com through Outpost. Shipping is nominal. They accept most major credit cards and Flooz too.
