    Amazon is just so convenient, it’s hard to say no. If I need new socks, I can press one button and somebody brings it to my front door in a couple hours at a cheap price. Alternative? Order them somewhere else online and get them in a week or drive 20 minutes, deal with parking + crowds to get them a couple dollars more expensive.

    It’s a crap situation but I understand how Amazon got so big.

      I said in another comment yesterday that Amazon is the most affordable option in my high COL area and provides the most variety. Especially groceries when I don’t have time to go grocery shopping. Not to mention, I get 5% cash back on my Amazon credit card. With inflation how it is, I’m not giving it up, and I do not feel bad for it.
