I just got a 20% off up to $100 coupon to Amazon Grocery and I was wondering what's some stuff worth buying? Either stuff that's a really good deal or stuff that's hard to find elsewhere would be great!

I recently ordered some food items from Indian Blend on Amazon.
I do make naan at home but having some in the freezer for instant gratification is super.

I got the Masala "flat bread" naan and the Onion naan and was impressed with both, and the Poori, the Whole wheat chapati
I wrote reviews for a couple of the items.

I also ordered 2 pounds of shelled pistachios from the same vendor and this product is much better than anything I can find locally. The nut meats are huge compared to others I have purchased, very fresh and flavorful.

I'm sure you have excellent local Indian foods in your area, but I'm really impressed with the quality of these foods.

Wow, is that a one time (personalized coupon code), or a general one?

[GlorifiedRice]

I buy lots.

But I must say that I buy dry dog food from them cause its $9.00 less than driving to Petsmart and its free 2nd day shipping.

You have to use the Amazon Rewards Visa Card and use MAR20OFF at checkout.

I buy a lot of my dry spices in bulk from Amazon, Frontier brand. They seem to be decent quality for the price. I got this email today also, I'll definitely be looking for some things to get.

Panko crumbs.

I bought a huge amount of them with some Amazon Rewards I needed to use up. I can't get them here in Tiny Town, so it is nice to have a source. They are packed by Well-Pac. If it's good enough for restaurants, it's good enough for me.

Dried Cherries and Blueberries.

I bought a kilo of each for about $17 a piece. It was a promotion around the holidays.

I was browsing the grocery section and just noticed they carry Willpowder modernist ingredients. The 20% off works out cheaper than buying direct.

Ha ha! I moved to Tiny Town 5 years ago and learned early on to order what I wanted from Amazon grocer rather than try to hunt down ingredients at the Chef-Boy-R-D Mart. I appreciate Amazon so much, especially when I want to try something of a new ethnicity. They were also a huge help when I was trying to sample all the sardines on rworange's list. I also got most of what I've needed for experiments from Modernist Cuisine. No beta carrageenan here in Tiny Town, only Velveeta. Yay Amazon!

runwestierun? I agree.

I have added all the eGullet recommended brands of gourmet tuna to my wish list.
I bought Marmite Cereal Bars from AmazonUK
I buy full phosphate commercial dish detergent.
I bought the exclusive OXO Good Grips Japanese cooking utensils from Amazon Japan

I buy organic soba noodles, Q Ginger, dog treats, Knudsen Recharge (like gatorade but with real fruit juice), Boost, Balance Bars. Things that are hard to find in Atlanta, or things that are heavy.

I buy a lot of food items from Amazon, especially on Subscribe and Save. They include Newman's Own Cinnamon Graham Alphabet cookies (half price of my local health food stores), Bran Cereal (much less than in supermarkets), and Bionaturae Organic Whole Peeled Tomatoes, 28.2 Ounce Tins (Pack of 12), which I like even better than San Marzanos (It's $29.24 for 12 with Subscribe and Save):

I ended up getting some fancy soy sauce, some white truffle oil, a 16oz of Xanthan gum from Willpowder and 12lbs of Semolina Flour.

These are some of the highest quality dried Porcinis I've ever found. I got 'em last year for $39.99, they're $10 higher now, but I still think that's a good price, considering it's a LOT of dried Porcini.

I do too. Plus, no tax for me and 40lbs are delivered to my front door( up 3 flights of stairs)

Thanks for mentioning these. I'm almost out of the 2 cases of san marzano tomatoes I schlepped with me from Canada. This is a great price too.

I buy the McCanns Irish Oatmeal. I like it better than generic steel cut oats. I also get maple sugar and pure maple syrup. I get everything with subscribe and save and then cancel the subscription if I dont want to keep it.

I get quite a few grocery items via subscribe & save. Most are cheaper than I can buy locally and in some cases of "specialty" items are much fresher than in local stores where it may have been on the shelf for a long time.

I use a lot of panko crumbs and the Sushi Chef Panko (Japanese Bread Flakes), 8-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) @ $18.56 is a great buy and these are the best of any brand I have tried - I have purchased many brands so have had plenty to compare.

I also get the Splenda/Sugar blends, both regular and brown. The brown sugar blend doesn't seem to ever get hard, unlike regular brown sugar.
