Clothes, car stuff, hardware, shoes. All with the added benefit of getting exactly what you want delivered to you.

clothes and shoes?? what if they don't fit? Online sizes vary so much, I got burnt a couple times with that.

whenever i can.
We have alot of locally made items that are very durable and last, and then we have those things which are not the best and even though cheaper to buy here dont last at all, I wish i could support more of our local clothing companies, but its hard whn you alot of the items you buy from abroad, wash better, stay good longer and dont stretch our or shrink after 5 times being in the dryer.
I have clothes from 7 years ago that still fit and look like new - but all imported.

Its like i wont even go into Pennywise even if things were free to go through that piss poor service.
Alot of business fail to realize that people are gladly going elsewhere and paying more only because of a better service.
I shop at pennywise as much as I can TBH. They do a LOT of charity work that isn't publicized. I know that FIRST HAND. I talking about the owners and immediate family doing the manual work.

Works out lower than local.
Car parts too, to some extent.
Toys, not so much works out close.
Electronics, it depends.
With random re-valuing done by customs it's pretty much a crapshoot on anything I mentioned above.

I stick with brands that I know. They're fairly consistent. Levis, Clarks, Brooks.
Couple times I bought some cycling gear that failed miserably in terms of size. Couldn't get it resold locally, so I returned it and took the hit. Now I know that those kinda special clothes have to be tried on first because of size variance between brands.
To give you an idea - a cycling top online cost me 300 landed, locally they wanted 800 for it. The rear pockets are important af when I on the road

I'm looking for price savings.

Shoes and shirts and pants and clothes in general is a total waste of US currency hence the Red G
to land a 7% online tax to discourage this waste of USD $$$$$$$.
If you living on and working for USD $$$ then you is Boss
Van Heusen shirts are the BESS quality . PriceSmart sell BESS jeans for about $100.
Tools and car parts is an excellent buy .
Friend checking on a vehicle alternator and Bamboo # 2 had it for $5,700
Let me repeat $5,700
Ordered for her online and total cost etc., was $900 - remanufactured .
You need to know prices
