I also have yogurt starter on my list, but I don't always have it delivered since I can reuse the yogurt as a starter a few times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-126474 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:53:05 +0000 DillonLion 126474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Haha that is awesome! Auto delivery chips. Love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-126470 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:52:47 +0000 DillonLion 126470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dayum, Bee! I live in a suburbian mecca and we drive EVERYWHERE. Nothing is in walking distance. So we just pile everything into our SUVs. I would love to have everything just delivered to my door. That sounds awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-126467 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:51:43 +0000 yoursilverlining 126467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only things I have on auto-delivery are special DHA pills and Spicy Thai Kettle chips because our grocery stores stopped carrying them. I feel like a pig when the huge box of chip bag arrives every few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-126390 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:24:07 +0000 Andrea 126390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: not very because i don't like sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-126385 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:20:25 +0000 Mrs. Bee 126385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: it is sweet? i'm more of a sauvignon blanc gal in the summer over chardonnay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-126375 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:15:59 +0000 Andrea 126375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: oh it know! we always have 6 cartons of milk in our fridge. i was tempted to buy milk, too, but it IS cheaper at the grocery store so i resisted. but it is such a pain to lug them from the store. </p> <p>i keep this wine on hand. i normally prefer red but i found this white one that i like so i keep reordering it: </p> <p><a href="http://www.freshdirect.com/product.jsp?catId=usq_fra&#038;productId=usq_fra_will_fev_ros&#038;trk=srch&#038;trkd=fave&#038;rank=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.freshdirect.com/product.jsp?catId=usq_fra&#038;productId=usq_fra_will_fev_ros&#038;trk=srch&#038;trkd=fave&#038;rank=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-126368 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:11:57 +0000 heffalump 126368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never even heard of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-126349 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:58:55 +0000 T.H.O.U. 126349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prenatal Vitamins!

But we have the luxury of car. :)</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee:<br /> It's so weird to me hearing about cars from yours &amp; Mr. Bee's POV. Growing up in NYC my brother got his first car (a beater) when he was 18 I think? there's been cars in our family ever since. All his friends all have cars too.<br /> It's soooo useful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-126266 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:56:42 +0000 meaganceleste 126266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've considered putting some things on auto-delivery, but we usually just stock up on things like paper towels, toilet paper, razor blades, etc. at Sam's or Costco. I'm sure once we have kids, we'll probably do some auto-deliver on diapers/wipes/etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-125656 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:39:32 +0000 BSB 125656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I have dish detergent on auto delivery. I think there are a couple other things that I can't think of. I do want to get dog food auto delivered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-125652 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:35:19 +0000 Maysprout 125652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm a bit odd about routine. Routine stresses me out. I do have a version of amazon prime so I can just predict and get things quick without going out to the store. Fluorescent lights in stores also stress me out, I'm not a good in store shopper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-125642 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:50:39 +0000 SAHM0811 125642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I know it's tough without a car... sometimes we used to take car service to and from... it sort of defeated the purpose of saving money when round trip was about $30, but I figured the convenience of stocking up (not going to Duane Reade every 5 days for odds and ends) was well worth it. But yes, that's why we stopped going... Plus the Costco near us isn't in the greatest neighborhood and I heard this story about how teens carried weapons there so I got scared! So I'll renew when we move to the burbs in Cali.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-125638 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:41:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 125638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: i love costco too! esp the free food samples yum yum. It's crazy there on the weekends, but I could go during the week... if I had a car! </p> <p>I really want one now that we have two kids, but I don't think we can justify the cost this year for how often we'd use it. a car is such a luxury in ny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-125635 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:38:28 +0000 chopsuey 125635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow!<br /> Diapers<br /> Wipes<br /> Handsoap</p> <p>That's it! I'm sure I'll add more to the list when we have baby #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-125633 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:34:55 +0000 SAHM0811 125633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for a while we would just go to Costco and stock up on all those things like once or twice a year, but then our membership expired after #2 was born and I never renewed. So I have a few of those things on auto delivery now, but will probably go back to the Costco method in a month or two. I love Costco! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-things-on-auto-delivery#post-125628 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:28:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 125628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have so many things on auto delivery, that I feel guilty about our carbon footprint. But it's really tough to buy big heavy things when you don't have a car! We have on auto-delivery:</p> <p>diapers<br /> wipes<br /> paper towels<br /> toilet paper<br /> hand soap<br /> dishwasher tablets<br /> dishwashing soap<br /> laundry detergent<br /> trash bags<br /> cat food<br /> toothpaste<br /> razors<br /> deodorant</p> <p>What about you? </p>
