24 Tips to Get Organized in January: Tip #7, Order Office Supplies Online
Tip #7: Order Office Supplies Online.
While I will admit to cracking a smile as I wander down the aisles of any office supply store - and perhaps singing a bit, too - shopping for supplies is time consuming. Notwithstanding the travel to and from an office supply store (which is inevitably stuck in some strip mall), staring at the stacks of legal pads takes up a remarkable amount of time.
Easy and quick? Online shopping. I have an account set up at one of the mega-stores. My profile is saved as well as my purchase history - yes, the privacy element drives my husband crazy but when we’re trying to remember the name of that ink pen that we really liked a few weeks ago, it’s awfully convenient. Need toner or ink? There’s a script that finds the right one for me. And if I spend at least $50 - and I always do - delivery is the next day and it’s free.
10 minutes, in and out. When is the last time that you did that at a store?

I do it all the time since we shop for all of our office supplies online…and get rebates for it, too. Saves so much time, since we’re 30 miles from the nearest large office supply store. Something to consider seriously with today’s price of gasoline.
The images seemed great.

Hi Kelly
I like to use online grocery shopping whenever possible - I definitely don’t sing as I wander down the aisle buying paper products and shampoo. So I’d be a good candidate for an online office supply store too - just hadn’t thought of it before.
As far as the image - it was a little weird the way it gets bigger and smaller - but I’d probably get used to it. The pic itself is cute and I didn’t have any trouble loading the page due to size.
