I pay 12 Bucks a Month. I order things from Amazon daily. No i cannot wait a week for food. I also cannot wait a week for a fuse for my fridge.
I also cannot fathom why i would spend twice as much for things i need to survive just because.
bread at my bakery is 8 Bucks. I can get the same bread from the same bakery every sunday morning for 6 Bucks from amazon.
Come on, the same bread? That’s crazy. How can that work?
I don’t know, i only know that i “profit” from this system and use it.
Probably Amazon and slave wages.
where do you live where stuff’s so expensive? genuine question, because honestly, i’ve never seen such pricing here
most of the stuff i get from amazon (which is, to be fair, not much and mostly non-food/perishables) has free shipping (without prime) to amazon lockers or to your house if you have a >25€ (or maybe >40€ now…?) order
also, may be biased because i live in france, but like, a loaf of bread is at most 3€ here, even in the most remote villages, you’ll likely not have for more than 1.30€ for a baguette
