I've mainly been using Amazon, which has helped me sort out a few charges and rebates, plus happened to buy a year's free(?) delivery from Fred Meyer for &60, but have shied away from Ebay after a couple devious ads and sellers were stumbled on.

But now I find Ebay doing a good job, claiming "satisfaction or your money back," and I do find it substantially cheaper than Amazon or Fred Meyer. BTW, I just bought 10 genuine Britta water filters and a water distiller for $100, with free delivery, which is a comparatively low price. Mention that because they both seem like healthy investments, even for the frugal living.

Also, I seem to notice that many stores are selling cheaper now, maybe because of competition or something about inflation/recession. It does seem like the stay-at-home tendencies attending shopping and hostilities are facfors affecting businesses and customers. And they all seem to be catching on about doing delivery as well as pick-up.
