I try to avoid them but if you have Prime for movies/TV then it's free shipping and faster than just about anyone else. -- nm

And often the prices are cheaper too. I started getting dog food from Amazon - saves me 60 bucks a year - decline Jul 25, 06:56 13
- is an extra $5/mo really going to break anyone to shop locally? -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 25, 07:06 12
  - that's just 1 thing though; multiple that by 10 or so and getting into some more serious money. -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 Jul 25, 07:27
  - Sh!t adds up, plus the alternative is Petsmart which ain't really local in my book -- nm - decline Jul 25, 07:15 1
    - I have a Petsmart within two miles and use their curbside for cat litter. Prescription cat food is on subscription with Chewy. - Meg Jul 25, 07:36
  - Define locally? We have very, very few mom and pop stores around here. Mostly just chain stuff. May as well buy on Amazon and save the money. -- nm - sycor Jul 25, 07:13 6
    - but those chains employ local people. Buy everything from amazon and those all close and we have cities of closed up businesses. -- (edited) - Andie Jul 25, 07:14 5
      - I have Prime for the movies and TV. We use Amazon for large things that I'm not taking on the subway or where shipping would cost us a lot. - Krusty Jul 25, 07:25
      - Delivery drivers and distribution center employees aren’t locals? -- nm - znufrii 🦄 Jul 25, 07:17 3
        
        fine. - Andie Jul 25, 07:19 2
        
        To be far we have Amazon drivers and a distribution center here that employs a lot of people. -- nm - sycor Jul 25, 07:33
        
        Not only that but when you shop local that money tends to stay local and go back into the community. Most owners live near the area of their business - Krusty Jul 25, 07:22
  - Yes -- nm - TWuG Jul 25, 07:12 1
    - and then local shops close. -- nm - Andie Jul 25, 07:13
I can get the items I want at the same cost elsewhere but then I have to pay shipping plus a longer wait time. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 06:51
