Brandless Review Part 2: Brandless vs. Amazon

Brandless vs Amazon: An online grocery shopping search for the lowest prices

In my Brandless Review, I shared the pros and cons of Brandless. Brandless is a online grocery store offering GMO-free food and other items that are environmentally friendly. Many have compared Brandless to Trader Joes, but Trader Joes does not sell online.

In a search to find the best deals, I am compared item that I bought from Brandless vs. Amazon name brand items to find the best deals. Everything that Brandless sells is $3, which seems like a good deal, until you look at the size of the items. I compared similar items by price per oz or packaging size.

As an admitted Amazon Primeaholic, I rarely go a week with receiving one or more shipments from Amazon. After becoming a mom, running to the store to grab a few things is not as easy as it used to be, but one-click check out on Amazon Prime makes it incredibly easy to get anything I need.

Brandless vs Amazon Prime

A lot of the items I ordered from Brandless, can be bought on Amazon with a name-brand. One of the things I love about shopping on Amazon is that it is easy to see what the price per ounce or use is for items (like .14 per wash for detergent). I like to think keeping an eye on the price per use, saves money over time (every cent counts, right?).

When comparing Brandless vs. Amazon, Brandless is surprisingly cheaper for a number of items– especially for the more expensive organic items like maple syrup and coconut oil, and the gluten-free mixes. Of the items that are cheaper on Amazon (like toilet paper), they must be bought in bulk. Buying in bulk may work for some, but if you are short on pantry space, Brandless is the best options for almost every item shown above.
