It's easy. It's easier to buy there than elsewhere because it's habit.

I stopped prime a couple years ago, I buy from other stores when I can, but sometimes you just need protein powder, spray bottles, stove gaskets, a 300 piece puzzle, and a cello stand. Amazon makes it possible to just buy one spot.

Anything I ingest would not come from Amazon, or rather one of its numerous anonymous, unvetted sellers.

Agreed. Anything health or pet related is a dangerous gamble with amazon.

I quit Amazon one year ago and this also made my buying habits healthier. No more impulse buying. Eveything's connected.
