Do you want to avoid shopping for groceries or furniture in the sweaty summer? You just need a laptop or mobile and will solve all your problem!
I’m going to introduce you the useful Online shopping Amazon to US local residents or International students who just come to North America. If you are a Amazon Prime Member. There will be “Free” if you are renting the books, movies, music, etc.. You will expect to get your huge furniture within two days or some fresh groceries within 1~2 hours. Try to image this situation: You will chill at home and read or hang out with friends, instead of waiting the long cues for shopping the groceries. What’s a good life!
