Ok, hivemind, what do we like for online purchasing (not Amazon) of bog standard supplements? For example, Magnesium, Iron, Vitamin D. Preference for small business if those even exist in this space.

Edit: Delivery region is Washington State in the US.

@jonobie Where? As in delivery region.

@jonobie
I get them at the grocery store and look for USP testing.

@jwildeboer Washington State

@sollat Thanks, for this I'm specifically looking for online for the delivery aspect.

@jonobie

I never had an issue with deliveries from EZ Melts. They make all sorts of chewable supplements for seniors or other people with issues swallowing.

[jonobie@social.coop]

@MissGayle Oh, that's a cool bonus (to have that focus). Thanks!

[jonobie@social.coop]

@b Thanks!

[sollat@masto.ai]

@jonobie
Hmm. Maybe a grocery store that delivers?

[gairdeachas@mastodon.social]

@jonobie hmmm, we get ours from PCC (yay local co-op!) but they only deliver via Instcart and DoorDash. 🤔

[jonobie@social.coop]

@gairdeachas Ya... I just cancelled my instacart, since my nesting partner finds solo grocery shopping less awful than I do. 🤣 And online has a huge advantage of being clearer about when something is out of stock and what other options exist. So I don't have to give another human all my rules.

I did a test run with iHerb, and they seem reasonably priced and as quick as my old Amazon prime orders used to be (amazing). They may not be perfect, but it feels like a solid start to move off Amazon.
