I Love Alice.Com And You Will Too – $250.00 Giveaway

by

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Okay, ladies, we purchase so many products online these days, because admit it, it makes our lives easier.

So why is it that when it comes to things we really need, like toilet paper and diapers, we find ourselves making last minute trips to the grocery store, with our cranky kids in tow, after discovering that yes, the toilet paper is all used up and the only diaper left is the soiled one that the baby is currently wearing?

Or if you’re like me, sometimes you even make your emergency Wal-Mart run at 11:00 P.M., while the kiddos are in bed, only to find yourself struggling to maneuver the shopping cart around the crates of items that are being stocked on the shelves.

But guess what? There is an easier way.

An incredible new site, Alice.com, is here to save us all. Think of it as Netflix, but for consumer packaged goods – things like toilet paper, toothpaste, dish detergent.

In fact here are 7 ways in which Alice.com will make your life a whole heck of a lot easier:

  1. Get free shipping with every order
  2. Manage and automate your life – Alice is a service, similar to Netflix, that makes it very easy for you to manage and automate this entire category of goods so you never run out.
  3. Use budgeting and advanced planning tools – Alice let’s you plan your purchases, helping you budget and focus your spending, and avoid impulse purchases at the store
  4. Take advantage of competitive prices – In addition to always free shipping, Alice’s prices are competitive with the traditional mass retailers.
  5. Get coupons applied automatically – Alice has a completely new couponing system. They automatically find and apply coupons for you on thousands of products, making it easy to save even more without any extra effort.
  6. Save time and eliminate store trips
  7. Find all your favorite brands

I have to tell you, I was blown away by Alice.com. Their site design is perfect and very easy to navigate. I also love the little blue ducks on the site, seriously very cute (you’ll see what I mean, once you head on over).

Once I set up my free account -all accounts are free – I started picking the products in each room in my house that I use the most – diapers, soap, laundry detergent, pens, cereal. I was able to select the items and brands that I wanted, searching by name, price and even coupons available. I then told Alice.com how often I wanted to be reminded to order each product (with options ranging form every 2 weeks, to every 6 months).

Once my cart was filled with the items that I needed right away, I began the check out process. And I LOVE that there is free shipping, always!

When I went back the next day, I was able to check on my order and also take a look at a budgeting pie chart so that I could see my average monthly spending broken down by room.

I am beyond impressed with Alice.com. It’s ingenious, it really is. And really, doing my shopping with a few mouse clicks, beats emergency trips to the grocery store, hands down. Thanks to Alice, I will never run out of toilet paper again.

Now, you need to run, not walk, over to Alice.com and create your free account. Start selecting your favorite products, browse the available coupons and start managing your product planner, so Alice can remind you when certain things may be running low.

You’re going to love Alice.com, I promise. Alice is going to become your new best friend!

You’ll love Alice even more, when you receive a $250 shopping spree at Alice.com. Yes, two lucky readers will receive a $250.00 gift card to be applied toward purchases at Alice.com.

  5. Great store! Can’t beat free shipping and them automatically applying coupons for you!

  8. What a fabulous idea. I love this. I’m having my son sign up for an account because he’s in Massachusetts at college and this is an easy way for me to help him out by paying for stuff and having them deliver it to him at college.

  9. wow.. this is awesome! I love the planning feature.. that is really cool! Especially for me, being home all day working.. I forget to shop. 🙂

  31. I had actually went and checked it out previous to your blog post, and it looks like a very interesting concept.

  33. I like the convenience of having products shipped right to my house. Thankyou for the contest! 🙂

  34. I love the idea. No more late night trips to WalMart or Walgreens. Hope I win.

  37. Thank you “Alice”. AND thank you Janice and Susan. I love your picture. You both look beautiful.

  44. I love Alice.com too! I think it is just fantastic, especially the convenience and free shipping! This is just a miracle for busy mother’s like me. With 3 young children, one being a baby, and 2 dogs, I just don’t have time to constantly be running to the store for staple items and I truly plan to start incorporating Alice.com into my life to save me time, money, and most important to make my life just a little bit easier! Thanks so much for the chance to enter.

  50. My daughter was just telling me about Alice and how she ordered from them. No shipping fees! I love that!

  52. I love giveaways like this, a prize everyone could really use. I dread shipping charges, so I love how they always have free shipping. I never heard of this place before. I’m telling friends and family.

  59. I had visited their website, but had not opened an account. Now it’s a must! Thanks for the review and the giveaway!

  60. Alice.com is a great idea, you can save tons of time and money, how many times do we go to the grocery store for 1 item that costs like 2 or 3 bucks, and we end up spending 50 bucks, and sometimes I forget the 1 item I needed.

  61. I could really use this especially because we’re in an isolated area and some things aren’t available.

  62. Alice sounds like an awesome service. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it until now. I’m definitely going to check them out!

  76. This sounds fantastic! Having two babies under a year and a half make it hard to go shopping! Thanks!

  321. Wow, winning that $250 GC to Alice.com would just seriously make my whole year THAT much better.

  325. I would LOVE to get our home “staples” delivered to our door. It’s so hard to make the trip to the store sometimes with 3 kids under 5 in tow. Alice sounds great!!

  329. i’m due with my first child and on bed rest, this looks like a wonderful site. i’ve been looking for something like this.

  330. I set up an account and did a little poking around. Found some things that were definitely the same or less in price, others that were a little more expensive than the local Walmart. Will definitely try it a little later.

  332. This sounds like an interesting concept. There are so many people that can’t get out to shop, they need to see this.

  334. I just joined Alice.com last week and love it – great idea. Thanks for the offer!

  336. Wow, I have never heard of this but what a great site. This could be very useful to so many people.

  342. I would love to try Alice! I thought that I was the only one who tried to shop when Wal-Mart staff was filling the shelves. It sounds like Alice will save time, money and frustration! Thanks for offering this!

  348. Great post, thank you!!!! Trying out Alice right now. I LOVE the free shipping too.

  354. signed up over there- what I find disturbing- is that the word is the neighborhood- clicked over thinking it was for questions about ordering etc, instead the people are chatting talking dirty and disqusting..and talking nasty things about mj even though he just died- so if you have kids watch out for that- other than that- it looks pretty good for ordering-

  358. It’s about time someone started a site like this!
    bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com

  360. thanks for the heads up. I just signed up and placed my first order. wow how great is this.

  413. Sounds good! I agree with Tracy… It never fails, I only notice we are out of TP when I’m already sitting on the toilet haha

  415. Wow, this would be great. I don’t even pay attention to some of the everyday things until they are gone.
