      I already am. At this point, if I’m buying something on Amazon, it’s because I cannot find a comparable product elsewhere.

      I’m even paying more at other retailers. I haven’t run the numbers but before I cancelled prime 4 years ago how, I easily spent thousands. Last year, I think I spent a few hundred.

      This year, my goal is less than 100.

      Lots of small and even midsize sellers are basically forced into use Amazon, because if they don’t, then they don’t exist. So in some cases you literally cannot order the thing anywhere else.

      I do, the only thing I buy off Amazon now is Zeolite mineral cat litter pellets. There’s simply no supplier in Canada, but I try sourcing from Ebay first.

      It sucks this specific cat litter isn’t more popular. It’s crazy how superior to clay/paper/wood/crystal whatever. Both in annual costs and cleanliness.
