Amazon hits and misses
Most of my purchases on Amazon have been household goods and groceries. Kitchen equipment, rugs, laundry and bath stuff. For food, mostly whole bean coffee, condiments, and dried or canned foods. So my question is, for kitchen, bath, and laundry, what purchases have you made that were good value for money? What grocery items do you get?

We actually bought our fridge and washer/dryer off Amazon! Brand new, and they even installed the washer in our house for us! Most surprising part was that they were actually cheaper on Amazon than in electrical stores like K's Denki out here. I don't use Amazon Pantry as much as I used to when I moved to Japan. They increased the delivery fee per box only about a year(ish?) ago, from 290 to 390 yen, and it used to be easier to add enough items to negate the delivery fee. We do still often buy the basics (laundry liquid, dishwashing detergent, baby wipes, toilet paper) on there when the deals are good. My most random splurges are crunchy peanut butter and gnocchi on pantry. Things that I love but are hard to find locally.

For kitchen appliances, going with big names like Zojirushi and Tiger would never be wrong. You can almost always look at them in store then find them online lol. Other than that, it is all about the reviews and how short term I plan to use the item. Cheap is best, unless I plan to use it for over a couple of years.
