Stop using Amazon!

Thanks bro.

You just started a movement.

Cancelled last Sunday, membership ran out today. F*** em.

Have never used it.

Also, don't buy crap from China that you don't really need. Instead of spending money on that huge TV, buy a bigger bad arse lawnmower that was built in the U.S., Do some home improvement, get a hobby and buy good tools, anything..just don't send your money to China.

I canceled Amazon. All last year I’ve made a concerted effort to shop locally and support local businesses in every way I can.

The rise of big box stores like Walmart, chains like Chili’s, and of course Amazon are responsible for more destruction and pain in America than anything else this century and maybe in history.

Way ahead of you. I've started making a list of dollars I've diverted away from Amazon. So far it's only about $500 but I'm just getting started.

Pretty impossible now a days because it’s all around us. Even if you wanted to, it’ll be nearly impossible. I went to buy baby bottles and couldn’t find one that isn’t China made. Then I went to pick up some garlic and saw the “product of China”. I put that down but asked myself “ why do we need garlic from China. We can’t grow our own?”

It’s all around us. You can be as patriotic as you want but Americans buy China goods and lots of it. It’s just the environment we’re in.

Sure you may be getting convenience and a better price but what you are giving up long term?

You sacrifice your community and your labor pool and your upward mobility.

If you cannot buy new made in the USA consider buying it used. Just did with a miter saw, barely used and a 1/4. the price of new. Agree on the consumerism, now if I could get the wife on board. Saving is not hard when you get your expenses in order. Food from China oh hell no.

Honestly not sure how they make money off of us. My wife gets <$10 items shipped daily

This is my last month with Amazon Prime.

If there’s something I need to order online, I’ll search for it, and if the search doesn’t produce a vendor other than Amazon (which is rare), I’ll go to the Amazon link and look for a supplier name there, and order directly from the supplier instead of Amazon if possible.
