Online Shopping Saved My Life During Home Renovations
The Internet Saved My Reno
If you’re following us on Instagram you’d know that we are in Home Renovation Mode! Now, there have been some highs, lows, funny and not so funny moments during this process that I really didn’t anticipate. When we decided to renovate, I know I picked out at least 10 designs for every room in the house! From wall color to accessories, I just knew that shopping was going to be a breeze. I WAS WRONG! At first it was fun to go from store to store and sort of pick things I liked but then it became exhausting. I bet I could probably go about 30 straight days without driving, walking up and down each aisle and only purchasing three items. So, I am now doing what any logical person would do and that’s taking the shopping spree to the internet.
I have a strategy that I’m hoping will work for each room we plan to renovate and decorate:
- Check out Home Depot for deals on fixtures. We need it all, lights, fans, faucets, tile and so much more. They have a really good mosaic tile selection!
- Pick one new piece of wall art from art.com that will compliment the wall color. I’m even thinking of creating my own piece using some of my photos to be printed on a canvas. I know, it’s unique 🙂
- Head over to Amazon and choose a few light plate covers. I’ll be mother of year when the Arcade Style and Moana light switch cover show up on the door step.
- Bed Bath and Beyond is one of my go-to spots for kitchen gadgets but the online store is AMAZING! Who doesn’t want to try an Iced Coffee Maker or an Oven Cooking Mesh Mat? I don’t even know what these things are but they sound fun and I want it!
- I know we have a lot of towels, washcloths, etc. but when you’re moving to a new place, you kind of need a little something new right? The kids are getting a bed upgrade and JCPenny seems to never disappoint with classic bedding. I’m sold and will take two of everything!
Yes, I admit it; I am a mall shopper turned internet shopper! Thanks to Groupon Coupons, I get a discount on top of a discount from thousands of stores! With all of my favorite retailers online, I can sit in my bed, scroll to I can’t stand it anymore, click until my cart gets full and smile at the packages that are waiting for us when we arrive home. Here’s to online shopping!

Internet shopping is the best! I plan to get my sons B2S ynuforms online from a store that’s not even in my state! Gonna save so much time and money! Thanks for the tips!
Listen online shopping is so much easier. If I can avoid going into a damn store to purchase anything I would. Plus on line sales are different from in store.
I absolutely love online shopping. I do not have the patience for crowds and lines. Plus you usually get better deals online than you do in the store.
I could spend hours on art.com. Have found some really amazing pieces there over the years! Up here in Canada, we have a great online site called Wayfair.com. Have bought so much furniture and accessories off that site. There are some serious deals to be had.
Good luck with your reno!
I have a friend that’s ALWAYS on Pinterest looking for ideas to remodel her place.
And Groupon is definitely the GOAT for deals.
I love that you mentioned Groupon in this article! People don’t know that Groupon also offers deals for household items and gifts. You can find some good stuff there.
I’m loving how Groupon has expanded to this. I check groupon before I make any purchases. Great way to save $
Yes, Yes, Yes!! I have to search for my extra savings 🙂
I do MOST of my shopping online now, especially with amazon Prime saving my life every week, lol. I did not know about Groupon coupons for online shopping though!
Preach. Online shopping is really convenient – though I’ve had my share of bad experiences. I’d rather browse online than waste gas and time traveling from store to store.
LOL! I was a bit stressed but I’m bowing out gracefully!
