Footwear. High street retailers cater for the majority, but if you have difficult feet online shopping is much better.

One of my grandsons is going through this decision as he has just got his first little house. A bed, a table, a fridge and he also bought an air fryer. A washing machine is also high on the list ( there are no laundromats around these days )

This was raised on another thread, but what item would you look for online or go out and buy as a necessity, apart from food?

Pretty much everything.

So convenient to find whatever you want at best price and have it delivered to the door (often free, and the next day)

Books, either paperback or Kindle books.

Having just moved to the centre of a busy small town, currently almost anything, because everything is within walking distance. Clothes, carpets, books, anything of a carriable size provided by Argos.

It would probably be medication like Paracetamol or my eczema cream if I ran out.
I have arthritis so unfortunately painkillers are essential at times.
Very good question Mollygo.
