My most recent order. $35 and this is now in my around the house sweater rotation Columbia Men's Steens Mountain...
My household also doesn’t have Prime which puts me in the extreme suburban white person minority. Amazon doesn’t play and gave me 30 days for free after today’s order. And the battle of wills begins.
I don't order shit for me personally on Amazon really ever. But I also don't really buy much at all if it isn't necessities. The last thing I ordered on Amazon was an office chair August 30th. There were 60 orders between that day and today.
I’ll buy random stuff like the sweater I posted above but I basically use it for my consumable purchases. Golf tees and balls, body wash, shampoo, butt wipes, etc.
Edit: I have no idea why I can't post an Amazon link. Put a space between the . and com: https://www.amazon. com/dp/B00Q7D2SEA?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
MLS is is cagey as hell about her amazon account and refuses to let me use it because "I know you'll judge me" God knows what is in that cart and/or already purchased for me to judge a person, lol.
kinda an offshoot of this but i believe the odds are very good that every time you play a game of solitaire, you’re playing a deal that no one else ever has
I don’t. Maybe buy stuff on there a couple times a year. Most of the shit on Amazon is fake nowadays.
Just primed a bunch of stuff to my sister after realizing I forgot about her birthday last week. Something that would have taken an hour+ to do (depending on how quickly I found something, packaged it, and took it to the post office), took less than 5 minutes.
Yea, it's mostly destined for landfill crap. You can still get free shipping without prime on orders over something small like 35 dollars - we maybe put in an order once every month or two for stuff we need but it cuts out most of the extraneous junk. Would like to get rid of it entirely but some stuff you can't find easily in person anymore
My wife does all the Amazon ordering in my house and does nothing with the boxes. I guess that's my job.
thanks, cutting down on all the plastic junk (i get groceries at zero waste shop, look at me!) probably offsets the first 0.0025 seconds of one flight I get on each year.
I like it. Get some small-scale farm milk and yogurt, lots of different grains, olive oil, spices, pantry staples etc. They partner with a sustainable (allegedly) fishing cooperative that delivers all line caught, under-fished species but I stopped that for the time being because I was getting some filets of some gross fish that I never wanted to cook or eat. That + weekly CSA veg bag and some meat from a good butcher and I can almost avoid the beautifully curated and engineered Doritos suite of products (wistfully)
My son’s freshman biology teacher is giving kids extra credit if parents will certify that they have turned off their phones over Thanksgiving break.
That sounds awesome and expensive as hell. The local neighborhood store with mostly local/organic stuff near us is twice as expensive as the major chain ones. Obviously that's expected, but still hard to justify going there each time for a grocery run.
Flying out of town for thanksgiving so you’re right. Need it for plane tickets. Uber. Restaurant reservations. Hotel check in. Maps. Damn it. I’m stuck on a phone.
Reminds me of a college professor i had who gave us extra credit for bringing in a picture of us doing something with our textbook for the class over Thanksgiving break. Then we had a contest in class where everyone voted for their favorites and some extra credit on top was awarded. Of course this was in the infacy of cell phone cameras, so we had to tote around not only our book, but an actual camera too. I won with my picture of me with Drew Pearson, with Drew holding my book while showing off his super bowl ring
