Amazon gives non-Prime members free shipping at $35 or more of eligible items. Instead of simply letting users get the product with free shipping, they’ve added a discount that prices it exactly one cent below the $35 limit, while only subsidizing the price with $3.38, which is about half of what they’ll then charge you for shipping.

    I always try to buy in the store, but most of the time the store either doesn’t have the item I need or it costs 200%.

      Now see, I wouldn’t know because I don’t check prices on the Internet. I just go, buy some shit if it’s there, if it’s not, I get annoyed & maybe try somewhere else if it’s important enough for me at that moment.

      I guess I just don’t like online shopping, it feels like a chore to me.

      That said, I am privileged enough to live somewhere where there are multiple options for shopping close by, so, easy for me to say.
