Did you know you can buy things online for cheaper than on Amazon?
When it comes to shopping online, most of us have gotten used to it, especially due to the pandemic period. What’s more, being able to shop online, check prices, and compare prices is a great option for frugal shoppers. Not only can you check the prices in your favorite stores, but you can also compare them with other stores out there. And at the top of the online shopping chain is, unsurprisingly, Amazon.
While no one expected Amazon to become so big, they are almost a default feature in a lot of American households, and we have all done some shopping on Amazon one way or another. We have discussed the perks of having an Amazon Prime subscription, and we cannot deny that the online retailer has its shortcomings: sometimes the products you get come damaged and you cannot refund them; we don’t always use the membership we pay for; and you can end up paying a lot of money for some subpar products.
However, Amazon is not the end-all be-all of online retailers, and there are a number of other places where you can find the same type of items at way better prices! To help you discover the extended universe of online shopping at great prices, we have gathered some of the best Amazon alternatives for those of you who would like to save an extra penny!

Temu has an endless number of products. I can spend hours just looking. Photos are great, but product descriptions can be a little lacking. Be sure to look for measurements, as photos can be misleading. Also, be aware that when you buy that really cool attachment for your sewing machine, all the miscellaneous pieces will come in a tiny plastic bag with no instructions. Unless you’re lucky enough to find the video again, you’re left with trial and error. I returned 2/3 of my first order of about 15 items. ‘Cheap’ clothing is cheaply made, but if you look at it as ‘disposable’ clothing, you can get fun stuff. They do allow one return per order, so check everything out and send back items you don’t want. Refund was prompt and no questions asked, although I think I did have to list each item with the reason I was returning it. And save the packing it came in….. makes return easier.
I still don’t like the idea of dealing with this company… the press is not good, and I’m not that desperate to save a few pennies. BUT if it’s something I really need, and the savings is over 30% on a middle-priced item, I’d still be tempted.
