I reviewed my purchase history and I stopped heavily buying from Amazon on 2017. Today I went to find an item I bought 5 years ago from them but their price has 30% markup from HomeDepot/Target/Walmart. Guess who's not getting my business again today!

For years Amazon pricing has been getting worse, and they don't care

They don't care because they don't set the prices except when it's an amazon branded product.

Oh I don't disagree, I'm only pointing out that this has been going on for years. On any year I purchase ~$200 at most from Amazon now, and usually only items I can't find somewhere else

"Amazon Branded"/"Fulfilled by Amazon" and whatever other tier exists isn't a distinction I care to make
