Favorite non-bikey online shopping sites

[DarcyInOregon]

What an awesome thread. Thank you for starting it.

Here is my site for whole grains. It is sold in limited quantities in grocery stores, but the full range is for sale on the site, and in larger quantities. Bob's Red Mill is an Oregon company, and everything is milled by them. Their Scottish oatmeal is incredible. If you do a lot of baking, this is a good site.

This site is local to the Northwest also. If you like olives and are sick of the mass produced stuff in bottles at the grocery store, and you can't get to a speciality store, check out this site. Warning, don't order the jalapeno olives unless you like your olives HOT. Remember, olives are heart healthy and help to reduce cholesterol, and these olives are really tasty. They also make a great gift.

Now the above two sites are all about being healthy. On the opposite end, here is a site for the chocolate lovers, also located in Oregon. This site is if you are really picky about your chocolate and you only want the best of the best from other countries. The company is located in Oregon, but their specialty is offerering the best of the international chocolates. My understanding is some of the stuff they get sells out real fast because the chocolate addicts look at this site almost daily.

Here is another site local to Oregon. If you are into body lotions, soaps, bath products, fragances, and so on, this is the site for you. If you have a specialty lotion you purchased in the past and really liked, you can find it here. I recommend the Terra Nova products highly. If you hunt for it, this site also has a package of different lip balms that are really good for the cyclist, and it is what I use.

If you are a gardener and really like to grow the best tomatoes, or buy a large supply of Northwest wildflower seeds, here is another Oregon company.

Here is a site that I love because I've visited their store whenever possible. Their live site is a large log wood cabin structure filled with goodies for sale. This place makes their own jam out of local berries. The Oregon cranberry bogs are right there, so the cranberry jams are great. But so are the other berries that are local, like huckleberry and blackberry and elderberry. You can get a gift pack of jam and it makes a great present, especially if you need a gift for an elderly person because older people just love to put jam on their toast.
