My lovely little lady orders so much crap, they deliver 2-3 packages per trip, 3-5 times a week. To me, it’s ridiculous, she says it’s cheaper and saves time, whatever.
How often do y’all order/ get delivery’s? She's not wrong.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Several times per week. I also make most of my major purchases and Christmas shopping through Amazon.

We get 1 or 2 a week and two chewy orders each month. It works out great for us.

2-3 times a month. Just depends. It’s too convenient for things like joint supplement for our dog. It gets shipped once a month, we also buy greenie treats for him in bulk there. Cheaper to buy through Amazon and we setup a monthly auto shipment for each. We use Chewy.com. PetSmart success story. We get his food from Chewy, but his supplements and treats from Amazon. It’s a marriage dynamic. My wife handles his food and setup the monthly delivery with Chewy and then later he needed the joint supplement and it fell in my lap, so I went to Amazon. Then I started buying him greenies. Just the way it worked out, but we use chewy.com too.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

BTW the Jack Ryan series on prime is worth it as well. We are finishing season 2 right now!

We use it far more than I would like. It is far more convent than any other way of shopping. I needed sight in targets and a scope level. 10 minutes of research and a few clicks later I have both on order. They showed up today. Neither of the items are available locally. Can I buy targets at Academy, yes but not a 50 pack (have 3 kids shooting weekly). I would rather purchase even more locally than Academy or Amazon, but we simply do not have the retail that can provide the products or selection that we need.
Word of advice never, never, I mean never, download your credit card statements and figure out exactly how much you have spent at Amazon. For us it is not a pretty number.

We get lots from there. Baby formula is on subscription and auto ships monthly. Cheaper than in store.
Lots of household consumables too.
I have a business account also. Order all my office supply type stuff from them. As little paper and such that I use, its much more efficient to just have it show up from UPS man.
Is Amazon taking over the world? Probably. But dang they make life easy sometimes.

Pampers used to be about 1/2 to 3/4 of the store prices. My wife used to buy Pampers there as baby shower gifts. then after the grandkids were born, she bought them for the grandkids.

Order a part for my Polaris at 7 last nite and was on my front porch at 930 this morning. LOL Now I can understand this and have done it myself on harder to find items, but ordering everyday items like batteries is just lazy. I'd rather walk around Academy for an hour and end up paying a few more bucks than to sit on the couch tapping a screen Some call it lazy, I call it maximizing efficiency.

I’m done with Camping World, ridiculous pricing! Just got a new inverter from Amazon for $159, delivered in 2 days. The exact same part number from Camping world was $375. Buddy just got an exhaust fan for his trailer from Amazon for $59 vs $175 from Camping World. Using Amazon more and more for time and money savings. My time is worth something and saving some using Amazon is a win for me.

Time spent shopping for stuff is pretty dang low-quality time, so the less time spent on it the better. Not all of us sit on a couch as an alternative. Some of us spend time with family, work, hunt, read, do chores, or a million other things with the time we save not being at the grocery store or Academy for the one millionth time. I can order from Amazon in about 30 seconds. It’s a no-brainer on most things.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Plus a 30 pack of wet cat food and a bag of dry. I have to be careful around The Boss. If I mention we MIGHT need something, boom it shows up three days later.

While Amazon is indeed the evil empire, once and while you can score a great deal on "used" and stick it to the man with a little poking around...
I went to Amazon to price a BedRug for my Ram Rebel I just picked up. Amazon almost always has a "used option" and just for grins I looked there. They had a used one for $40 vs the regular $175 or whatever it was, I took the chance assuming a used BedRug couldn't be that used if they took it back. Sure enough, it was brand new in just a very beat up box. Every time I've bought used (bought our Roomba 9xx there too) it's basically been either as new or brand new in roughed up packaging.

One of the main things I like about ordering from Amazon, and many online retailers for that matter, is they have my order history going back 16 years at this point. So if I ever need to replace a part for the second time, I pull up my order history and there's the part I bought 8 years ago. Need to buy another one of those gadgets I found 5 years ago, boom, look in my order history and buy it again. What size water filter goes in the fridge at the vacation house, who knows, I just re-order the same one I bought two years ago.
Thanks, Rich

I order from WalMart a lot they offer one day delivery on most items if you buy over $35.
^^^^^this^^^^^ no more amazon for me, I can order from wal mart and either get it in store or free delivery within 2 days and no membership needed. don't like bezos or what amazon is doing to invade everyones life. pill pack, amazon alexa, invasive amazon ring, amazon doorbells etc. etc. amazon now owns dozens of businesses, most of which have something to do with your life if you want it to or not.
