Comment on Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers.
DuncanIdaho@lemmy.world 1 year agoI cant afford things like apple products. Amazon has driven the price down for me on a fair few things. As much as I hate the company and the man behind it I cant always afford to go to some other store. Thankfully I dont buy much stuff.

If you’re being genuine idk why you’re being downvoted. But I think lots of tech related items is a good answer. For example at like Walmart/target etc. a 50-100ft ethernet cable are super expensive compared to Amazon. Also some bulk foods might also be a good answer. Buying like bulk nuts on Amazon I believe are much cheaper than in most stores. And most stores dont sell them in bigger quantities

Yeah, that was a genuine question. Are those prices US based? I often find Amazon (Germany) even more expensive than alternatives, especially if you don’t want to buy cheap chinese trash. Also, if there is really some stuff you really need, I often don’t find it hard to find other vendors with similar or cheaper prices. This includes your examples. All the reason for me not to use Amazon.
But if that’s really the case and no suitable alternatives exist, I understand the situation of course. However, if someone doesn’t have good reasons not to put some effort into searching, you can find me sitting on my horse, morally judging them. ;)
