Amazon Prime: Price Increase

Chuck33079

See, that's the problem- it justifies another 3-4 orders. "Well, I need to buy this $250 of crap to break even on my prime membership".

Well for us, I do price shopping now and again and order random items from Amazon. Like cat food we buy because it is 5-10 dollars cheaper, sometimes oil is cheaper on Amazon and free shipping is nice.

I've cut way back on my Amazon purchases. It used to be every week. Now I just stockpile stuff on my wish list and make a big purchase 3-4 times a year. I'll probably sign up the next time I order something.

It's that kind of logic that has the average American in more than $10K credit card debt

However, I know people that just buy stuff off Amazon instead of purchasing locally. They aren't spending any more money because it's stuff they buy regularly. This would be the intelligent way to approach it.

Yeah, I made a decision to click add to wish list instead of add to cart when drunken browsing. Saves me a fortune.

The one thing I will NOT turn on with Amazon is the 1 click option...f a bunch of that. I do not need to be randomly clicking things and hitting add to cart not realizing it is 1 click to buy and it is on the way already....

Good call. It's amazing what ends up at your door when you drink and Amazon at 2am.

This is sound advice.

I was using a friend's laptop one time and 1-clicked him a box of Astroglide Anal Shooters

The next time he rode in our car (Accord Coupe), he stashed several of them in various crevices in the backseat. We're fairly certain there was still one left when we traded the Accord for the Acura we have now

100% not googling what those are from the work computer.

Last completely useless item I bought while drunk amazoning was a 2' tall stuffed minion. Why? Who the **** knows. It ended up next to the stuffed "Hello Cthulu" that ended up at my house in mych the same fashion.

That is what we do, it comes down to things we buy usually but online it is 5-10 dollars cheaper (sometimes even more), plus the time saved from going to the store or gas used. Also all it takes is a couple day heads up if it is something that wears out, so cat food we buy once the bag is below half empty so when it runs out the other food is already at the door step.
