Addicted to Amazon

Here is an example of the sales/clearance/promo codes from Amazon. Where else are you getting 50 each 5/16×3.6" zinc coated lag bolts for $4.30, delivered?

I'm on my 3rd can of shaving cream in my entire life.
I just use those little BIC disposable razors. Maybe 2 a year.

Same here. I think my can of Barbasol is over 15 years old, and a bag of the Bic disposables last me 3 or 4 years. Of course whith a beard that covers a lot of my face, I only shave my cheeks and neck. Doing it fresh out of the shower, the whiskers are pretty soft and I'm sure that makes the razors last a lot longer. Of course, I only shave 2 or 3 times a week. Being single and retired, some days I don't even see anyone else, so why shave? I had shaved every day from age 18 or so up until a few years ago, so I'm just tired of doing it.

Back on topic, my ordering from Amazon has slacked off a lot lately, I just don;t need a lot of things any more. I also try to at most order once or twice a month by adding items to my cart, unless it's something I need quickly.

I was looking for oil filters at a better price but most of the time on ebay and amazon the filter pic would be the wrong color or have slightly different graphics.
Not wanting to get fakes I went to Zoro and they were cheaper plus they offer 20% off to me all the time and free shipping at the amount I ordered. The filters are drop shipped from the manufacturer, so no fakes.
But I do order from Amazon, ebay and walmart all the time on other items.

My wife hates shopping for anything, and I hate to go into town, so yeah, Amazon is pretty much a daily visitor at our house. Also, I don’t really trust eBay or Temu.
Amazing the obscure things you can find on Amazon.

I too do most business with Amazon, but also eBay. If you buy on eBay, use Paypal. That way you are protected from scammers.

I love amazonie but there are a few items I don't get there. Like Mach III blades and they have never sold been as good a price as one can find on Ebay. When I'm buying some item, by that I mean not before, I'll check ebay and Amazon. If its price is enough, I trust Aamzonie more.

I use the old style double edge razor blades. Local stores either don’t stock them or they have one or two substandard brands at $10 per a package of 10. Amazon has dozens of brands and the best are about $15 for 100 blades so I only buy on Amazon.

I guess that you don’t shave?

Yes, but those mach III cost a fortune there. 1/2 the price on ebay. Why?

Just went and looked ............. We've made 217 orders from Amazon so far in 2024.
(The 50% off usually get me every time.)

Yes and no. The quality has gotten abismal and finding legit brands has become a hard task.

Counterfeits and fake reviews everywhere

Which is sad, 5-6 years ago I shopped mostly on amazing but it's just gone down hill
