Brrrrr . . . . it is super cold outside here in Chicago. Tomorrow is suppose to be one of the coldest days of the year. With the windchill, we are suppose to be around -30 degrees F. Yes, you read that correctly. Who wants to go outside in that? I know I don't which is why I have been researching companies and products that, well, can be delivered to my home, so I don't have to out in these frigid temps. I know that we aren't the only ones that have been hit with this Artic chill, so I thought I'd compile a list for you, so you too can enjoy some online shopping:
1. Hello Fresh
Home CookingGet It Here
&
Want to know why Hello Fresh is absolutely amazing? HelloFresh allows to enjoy wholesome home-cooked meals with no planning, no shopping and no hassle required. Everything required for weeknight meals, carefully planned, locally sourced and delivered to your door at the most convenient time for you. There is no even having to decide what to eat for dinner. You have your options right there for you. I love services like this. Even on non-frigid days, this is a life saver for a busy family with not a lot of time
2. FreedomPop
Free Mobile PlanGet It Here
&
Since we have gotten rid of our landline, we like to keep a phone just in the house for those times when we forgot to charge our phones, for the kids to use, or when our carriers decide to have an outage. (Or like right now, where my phone is MIA somewhere in the house). Founded in 2012, FreedomPop is rewriting the rules of the global telecoms industry accelerating the convergence of Internet models and technology with traditional Telecom. FreedomPop provides the world's first 100% free mobile plan so that no one is left off the “connected grid.”
3. Educational Games

With the kids stuck in the house, you don't want them driving you nuts do you?
4. Cuddl Duds
Layer It UpGet It Here
&
I love to layer my clothes. I am always cold. That's why Cuddly Duds is perfect for me. Their super soft layers accentuate every woman’s personal style and shape. You can take your pick of the latest colors and prints in essential styles: v-neck tanks, crewneck shirts, long sleeve turtlenecks, zip-up hoodies, leggings with stretch, and more.
5. Peapod
Groceries OnlineGet It Here
&
I love Peapod. I have used them for years and years and years. While Hello Fresh will deliver you meals, Peapod is the rest of your grocery shopping. They have everything in their online store that you can buy in your local grocery store. Often times, it is even cheaper. The best part is that they deliver, and you don't even have to be home! Peapod has been a lifesaver for my house more than once.
What services/products do you use when it is just too cold to go outside?
Cuddly Duds looks so comfortable and is perfect for layering on a really cold day. I like that they are super soft and come in an array of colors. Also, educational games are a must when it’s too cold to go outside and play.
I have been thinking about trying out hello fresh. I need options since I’m so busy during the week! I still want everyone to eat healthy!
I saw a commercial for those Cuddl Duds recently and have been wanting to get some. They look warm and cozy.
I own cuddl duds and I love them. Especially for under my poncho and definitely when we’re out in the freezing temps or go to NYC to see the tree.
I love Cuddl Duds! They are so comfortable and truly do work in keeping body heat in! When it’s too cold to go out, I love making a good soup.
Great list! It was 22 below the other morning here. Brr. I hadn’t heard of FreedomPop or Cuddl Duds!
One of the things I make sure to have when it is to old to go outside is an extra cell phone battery, lots of snacks and drinks and a good book to read.
I would love to have all of these products with this cold weather.
It has been really cold here recently. I love getting into comfy clothing and playing games with the family and sipping hot tea.
I need Peapod for sure. Anything that helps with keeping me out of the cold while grocery shopping is a win in my book.
Here in the mid west cuddle dugs are a must if you are going to keep warm. Plus are fun to wear and just lounge around in.
Ok so how have I not heard of any of these services/products before?! I would love to try out Hello Fresh, it sounds amazing.
I really need some of those Cuddl Duds! I have been looking for the perfect layer and these sound amazing! Especially with the cold weather outside.
These are all wonderful ideas! I have to say I love Cuddl Duds. They are the softest and feel so warm. On high school football nights when it’s super cold, I always get my daughter to wear them when she’s in the colorguard.
These are great items to have when it is to cold to go outside. I know I will have to check out Cuddly Duds. They look so comfy and something I would wear around the house. Thanks for sharing these items.
These are all great ideas. It gets really cold where I live. I will have to get some of those clothes.
These are all great ideas. Definitely need to bundle up. I live in MN so I need to put layers of clothes on when going outside.
It’s so cold out here in my neck of the woods as well. I would love to have some thermal garments.
