Does anyone buy food or household products from Amazon? [View all]

Or another website?

A friend out here buys a lot of bulk food from Amazon, as it is difficult to get supplies where we are. He loves it.

I went to the site and the variety is amazing, but I would love to hear about other people's experience with doing this.

I already buy cheese from another site, as it is almost impossible to get here and I can't live without it.

Thanks in advance.
