Sorta thought this thread would be full of people saying “I dont even have an Amazon account”. Makes me sad.

Honestly I wish I didn’t. I don’t have a google account. Don’t have any Meta accounts. Don’t have accounts for basically anything I’m not functionally REQUIRED to have (banking for example). But Amazon is hard to avoid. I do a lot of buying in person, but in person shopping is just horrible these days. You need to find something specific and you are screwed. I do try to find other places online to get something when I can but a lot of times I just have to fall back to amazon. Maybe part of it is just the area I’m in though. Tons of the more specialty stores here have closed down. We don’t even have an electronics store anymore after Best Buy closed.

You can order all those things online not from amazon, even if you wanna use amazon to find them you can just go to the merchants website and order from them. I quit amazon prime like five years ago, i get not having local options but just order online from the actual retailer.
