I have learnt, the HARD WAY,
that there is LIFE outside of Amazon.
Everyone eventually has a breaking point.
There will be a straw that breaks the camel’s back.
For the last 10 years, if not more, I did 97% of all my shopping online, on Amazon.
I loved the convenience. It save me TIME. I never CHECKED whether it was saving me money. I blindly bought from Amazon. Not so anymore.
Amazon is NOT what it used to be.
Too much SCAMMING going on.
On June 1 I cancelled PRIME — which I had had for over 20 years & later in the month I cancelled my Amazon STORE CARD.
I can’t stop shopping at Amazon altogether. I can only get MY BOOKS through Amazon. SMILE. That is OK.
