Never run out of soap again - Photo by Samuel Rosa
Alice.com is a new website that offers everyday products at prices comparable to those found at Target or Wal-Mart. Everything from razor blades to toilet paper is offered at the touch of a button and delivered for free to your door. It is not a new concept. E-commerce has been around since the 1990’s, but Alice.com goes beyond other websites with free shipping, clip less coupons, and automatic reminders to tell you when to buy more toilet paper.
Serious bargain hunters know that couponing is a must. The good thing about Alice.com is that you do not cut coupons, they offer clip less coupons automatically applied to your purchase if they are available. You can save up to 70% off everyday products by using the clip less coupon which they display next to the products picture while browsing.
You are required to become a member of the site, but membership is free. To become a member you just have to enter your name, email address, and a password. Once you become a member you can browse the sites various ducks. The ducks represent product categories such as diapers or wax paper. Once you click on a duck you will be given a listing of the various items that they offer. The selection is not unlimited, but it is pretty comprehensive. When you are at a duck you have the option to sort by price, coupons, or by coupon percentage off. Click on what you want to buy, enter how often you think regularly purchase the product, and it is in your shopping cart.
Once you select an item from Alice.com it goes on to your product page. This is great because next time you need toilet paper you can just log on and click on your product page. Alice will also send out an email reminder to let you know when you might be running low. Eventually you will even be able to sign up for automatic shipments of your favorite products. Speaking of shipping your order will be shipped in one or two business days without any additional charge.
The real bonus comes from the fact that the modern mom does not have to wrangle up the kids and drag them out to the store to stock up on the basics. Staples will be mailed right to your door and the melodrama of packing a diaper bag is a thing of the past. Shopping can now literally be done twenty four hours a day in your pajamas. You will never be able to take two kids to Target and by everything you need in the span of ten minutes, but with Alice.com that is the amount of time it took me to purchase my first order.
Alice.com offers a budgeting tab. It let you know what you spent your money on when. The pie chart breaks everything down by what room your purchase will reside and what month you bought the various items.
The website is simple to use is just the tool the modern mom needs to ensure her family never runs out of paper towels again.

As someone who shops online almost daily and has seen many e-merchants fail, I tried Alice.com last week and placed a $15.00 for 6 items. The prices are not always as low as I can find locally, but seemed fair. Alice.com, then, as promised shipped me a 25 pound box of merchandise to me FREE via UPS Ground. I ship via UPS and can't imagine how they made money on this order. They even shipped it in a costly color "ALICE.COM" shipping box. Fast shipping and pretty packaging. However, how they will survive with small orders that cost almost as much for them to ship as they charged for the merchandise escapes me. I fear Alice.com may be short lived.
I've compared prices to my local wal-mart and grocery store and found prices very competitive. New customer can get a $10 credit when you spend $50. Go to shopatalice.com
