I only needed one more item to "unlock extra savings up to 15%", so I added an extra item to see what the savings would be. I didn't think the savings matched what was advertised, so I removed an item to see what the difference was (making sure to screenshot before/after this time). Turns out the price of 3 out of 4 items is the same after an extra 5% discount.

STOP USING AMAZON YOU FUCKING DONKEYS

Then what do I use as an alternative?

Walmart? Ooo so much better lmfao

"Shop local"? Are you gonna subsidize my bank account for the 2x-4x premium it would cost me to "shop local"

Are you suggesting there are no other websites where you can buy what you need, or are you saying they cost a little bit more and have slightly longer delivery times, and that inconveniences you, so you'd rather not support smaller companies?

Thanks for that

There are plenty of websites for the things I want and won't mind shopping around for a few weeks, the things I need however, is a different story. My choices for something like toilet paper is 15 at Amazon, 15-17 at Walmart, or 20+ at a local store.

I and many others, can't afford to shop local, we can't afford it and Walmart is just as bad as Amazon soo Amazon it is

It's bad enough keeping up with brands to boycott, now people want others to boycott whole retail channels. Boycotting gets expensive.

Push for regulations, vote with your vote not your wallet

EBay, Walmart, newegg and others. I've never used Walmart online so I can't say how good of an experience that is.

For most things I just go to a store in person.

eBay is great for some things

Walmart is just slapping lipstick on a pig and calling it a chicken

Newegg can go fuck off, enshittification came for them LONG ago

You just need to be a good shopper. That's why online is always going to be problematic.
