Want to purchase from Amazon

[hattaresguy]

I buy everything I can on Amazon. The Prime membership is worth it to me because it saves me a lot of time and gas.

For example 5 minutes ago I just ordered another set of screen protectors for my Iphone. Without Amazon I would have had to drive to the store and spent money on gas to do it. Little stuff like that really adds up over the year.

I avoid them whenever possible. Why? Prices are not that awesome on many items. I'd also rather shop local and keep my neighbors employed, keep the money local, and help the local economy. Even if I pay a few $$ more.

I am with you 100% on that and when i am in Germany i do just that. I can literally buy anything i want or need locally within 10 min.
Unfortunately here in Skunk Hollow there aren't many stores that sell much of anything. If you do drive to one its not 10-20% more, its like they make these prices up in their head.
Big difference between supporting your local economy and being a total stoop.

Excellent words.

Becoming a Amazon junkie - only received 3 packages this week to include one today (on a Sunday?). I missed who left it at the door, must have been a private carrier or something (OTC). I get most packages via USPS, some UPS.

Likes: I can shop for harder to find items from my home, sometimes a good deal (have to shop & compare). Got tired of the running around and striking out.
Never yet a problem (broken items, returns etc.).

Dislike: It's to easy. Seems I make a order weekly, needed or not. So I give the wife extra cash to help me stay alive.

Guess I better get off here and start another "Cart"

Here, it's Walmart (your and Overkill's favorite) and Canadian Tire that just randomly string large numbers together for pricing.
