“An Amazon Prime truck makes deliveries to our neighbors virtually everyday.”

Since the onset of the so called pandemic, we basically buy most things on line at the best price and free delivery.

Whenever, I go online to Costco, Walmart or Home Depot, an Amazon Prime price quote shows up in the upper right hand corner of my monitor for that item. So, we go with the lowest price and free delivery.

Recently, my wife ordered a couple of pair of name brand sweat/slacks to wear around the house. The Costco order was much less for the 2 pair of slacks with free delivery. So we ordered from Costco and got free 3 day UPS delivery.

If it is a toss up price, we order from Prime as our church gets a rebate.

I’m ordering some older fluorescent tube lights from HD. I can pick them up in their parking lot timed with a grocery pickup from a neighboring grocery chain. HD’s price was 50% less than Amazon’s per tube price.

So we are preserving our wealth by using Amazon Prime.

You’re a smart and disciplined shopper.

Many people are impulsive and status conscious buyers who seem psychologically addicted to spending.

Our neighbors kept the Amazon delivery trucks busy long before the scamdemic hit.
