Review: Boxed.com will save you money on the essentials



Boxed.com is a new website offering big club store discounts to everyone from the convenience of their home, and without having to pay for a membership fee. Buying in bulk can help you save money on everything from clothing and beauty products to food.
Getting name brand products for bargain prices can allow you to stretch your shopping budget and purchase something extra for yourself with the savings. Boxed.com also has an app for Android and iOS to make shopping even easier.

After a quick scan of the available products, we're obligated to point out that as of the date of this article's publishing Boxed.com's clothing options are almost non-existent. They're currently only offering one item of clothing: Signature Brands men's thermal crew socks. The plus side though was that the five count pack we purchased was only $7.99, a 59% discount off their full retail price. There is, however, a wide assortment of beauty products available on the site. From Softsoap liquid soap and Purell hand sanitizer to Zyrtec allergy relief and Gillette razors, Boxed.com has all your essential health and beauty supplies covered. There's an even larger selection of food and drink options to meet all of your grocery needs and cleaning supplies to choose from.

Boxed.com was courteous enough to give us a $75 credit to their website to test their service. Here's what we ordered:
Dove Men+Care Deodorant (2 pack) $7.19
Zyrtec 24hr Allergy Relief (2 packs of 50 count) $37.99
Vitafusion MultiVite Gummies $13.49
Men's Thermal Crew Socks (5 pair) $7.99
Pop-Tarts (48 count $8.99

Our order came out to $0.65 after our credit was applied. We also received a free reusable grocery bag and chocolate bar with our purchase. Had we not used Boxed.com to purchase the same items our order would have been $136.47, not including the free bag and chocolate bar. In total we saved $60.82 off the retail cost of the ordered products. That's a whopping 45% off compared to buying the same things at the grocery store. It arrived within one business day (Boxed.com's faq says it may take up to three).

We could easily see an individual or family ordering most of their beauty products, cleaning supplies, and pantry goods from Boxed.com not only to save money but time. You'll be able to forgo walking through aisles to find the right product or wait in a long line to make your purchase. Even if you've only cut out one shopping trip a month, that's still extra time you'll have to spend enjoying life with your friends and family. In all we're very satisfied with the service, even if their clothing selection is limited. Given enough time we're sure that Boxed.com will continue adding more products to choose from.

Readers who use code A8NVT during checkout will receive $10 off their first order. With free shipping on a first purchase over $50 and deep discounts, that's a lot of potential savings. You'll just have to figure out what to do with all the time and money that you could save from using Boxed.com.
