Recently we joined Instagram, just to give it a try. So far I’m not impressed but I’ll give it some time. So there are people sharing Amazon hacks, like they do on YouTube. You know, the latest stuff you have to order and how to get free things. I personally stick with my own Amazon hack. It’s very simple and very straight forward. I didn’t renew Prime when it was running out this summer and I stopped ordering. There are maybe just 2 things left that I still might order there, but all the regular stuff comes from elsewhere now. Sorry Amazon, no more money from (and much more money for me in addition to much better customer service and no more garbage products. And it wasn’t even hard. I just needed to stop being lazy. For example Ami’s food, before I ordered it at Amazon (plus shipping regardless of Prime), now I order it it at local online pet supply dealer (same dog food, just cheaper, less shipping and it arrives on time). My Vitamins, before from Amazon, lesser quality, plastic bottles and I believe some had shipping fees too (regardless of Prime). Now I order at Sunday Natural, premium quality and NO plastic *happydance*. The package/packaging material is completely made from cardboard and their bottles are made from glas. Shipping is free when I order enough, else it is a small fee. The list goes on. The only things I still order at Amazon is my Swiffer Wet 4 times/year (for some strange reason it comes at the best price) and sometimes a diamond painting set.
I don’t miss Amazon one bit and I’m much better off without it. Who knew that stopping being lazy would be so much fun and so rewarding.
