A friend of mine (thanks Mira!) tipped me off the other day to a fun new website – Alice.com. It’s kind of a strange place where you can go to buy basically a bunch of products for the home, apparently at great prices, and with free shipping. They have automatic coupons so you don’t have to waste time searching for coupons or clipping them. And they can help manage a lot of your “staples” shopping.

At first I just checked out the site to see what it was all about – then I noticed that you can filter your product searches by specific things like “premium”, “bargain hunter” and….(my personal favorite, and my reason for making my first purchase on the site)…”green/organic”. So I soon found myself loading up on toilet paper, paper towels, toilet bowl cleaner (still love that GreenWorks one), and a funky thing that I wanted to try – the Earthstone Bathroom Stone (more about that in a future post!). They have all of the Seventh Generation and Green Works products.

If you find that it’s hard to find eco-friendly products this site makes it easy and painless. My question (to myself) is whether I will continue to make the effort to order online and plan ahead like that. But if I can get in the habit, this seems like a great service. Delivered to your home, so you don’t have to lug the bulky packages of this stuff from the car to the house. Plus – I think the prices really were lower – at least lower than my local grocery store.

Oh – and I nearly forgot to mention – they have product reviews as well, which I always love to read. The range of products they sell  is substantial: cleaning products, paper goods, some food items (including the full range of Kashi cereals), makeup, office supplies and more. Pretty cool! And the shipping is fast – it ships the next day and arrives in 3-5 days.

Check it out- it’s free and you might find that it fits nicely into your life!
