Unless you live in Southern California or Florida, this winter has been pretty harsh for most of us. And with all of the snow days piling up like the snow on the sidewalks, it’s been pretty tempting to not venture outside. But what to do for supplies, especially if you don’t have a car?
Luckily, we live in an age where virtually anything can get delivered to your apartment, thanks to the Internet. Here’s a list of our favorite apartment delivery services:

Ok, so you’re well supplied and nourished, but what about your pet? Petflow.com has a huge variety of healthy food and treats for your pets, along with other items you might need, like this pug mouse pad.

Hamperville
Being stuck at home is a great time to do laundry, but if you’ve got lots of Netflix episodes to catch up on, you may want to leave the laundry to someone else. Hamperville is a service that will come to you, pick up your dirty clothes, and bring them back clean, even if you don’t have a concierge at your building. Just give them a time frame when you’ll be home and clean clothes will magically appear!
