I may have an amazon problem...

Does anyone fear that they may have an amazon problem? I tend to buy most things via amazon due to my work schedule, prompt delivery, plenty of choices, good prices, etc. I may have gone overboard though. I have a package being delivered almost every day this week Granted, I am moving my chickens to a more rural area, so I had to buy all of the components to build a solar electric fence. I also ordered a bunch of truck parts because I installed a 2.5" lift kit on my truck and realized I need to buy new upper control arms So, maybe I'm not necessarily "addicted" to shopping, I'm just addicted to the conveinance of Amazon.

Exactly! I try to buy some things from small businesses. But in this economy, I can't afford to pay almost double to support someone else. It sucks

My problem is usually one of coordination. Wifey will order things and not tell me, so then I also order them (we have different accounts) and we end up with duplicates. I even set up a shared shopping list but she never uses it.

Punk.

At that point I'd make a joint account for things ya'll both need lol. Save money on prime costs

we do prime family sharing. it's no more cost, just allows us to have distinct accounts.

Temu.
I know someone who buys almost everything on temu, because “it’s so much cheaper!”…………………… and then she ends up spending 3x the price because she bought 5 pairs of shoes without checking that they were the right size.

Me too! When we first started using Amazon, people thought we must be overpaying or spendy people, but we're actually on a tight budget. I tend to patiently watch stuff saved in my cart for later and buy when there's a deal of some kind. So I've gotten better prices than one could get in stores.
However, I learned it was never a good idea to have something on subscription or become dependent on sourcing it from Amazon, because like the dollar store they will get all tricky and raise the price on basics (my dollar store charges $3.50 for 1/2 gal of Milk, while my local fancy Publix charges $1.99).
Prime days used to be awesome! But now all the sellers know how to rig it. They raise their prices in the month leading up to Prime day, then slash them down to regular price and get to have the red lettering that makes it look like a deal. I don't buy anything on the shopping holidays unless I know what it cost the month before. So there, meany sellers!
