  • As if online shopping substitutions aren’t already a lottery.

    In all seriousness though, better something more recyclable like a beer can than those plastic pouches. There should be a law that says if packaging doesn’t need to be plastic then it shouldn’t be. Bring back metal toothpaste tubes, glass milk bottles, and those weird waxy paper bags they used to have inside cereal boxes.

    I’ll get my walking stick and see myself out.
















  • I just went cold turkey because I can’t/won’t watch content with ads, and already felt the cost of our streaming services was too much for what we get out of it.

    What I’ve found myself doing is if I do buy from Amazon and it’s below the free shipping amount, I try and buy from a marketplace seller who ships themselves for free. Often this ends up matching the Prime price, but it’s buried further down the result because it doesn’t have Prime shipping. Or I buy the same product via eBay, which is mostly cheaper. But main thing is, I’ve found I just buy less. Like A LOT less. As a family we’d often get 3 or 4 Amazon deliveries a week. That’s not been replaced with orders from other retailers. It’s almost as if having Prime encourages you to buy stuff you maybe don’t need!
