      The alternative is to do the action of not shopping at Amazon and then over time you’ll learn how to shop without it.

      You don’t need to stop 100% immediately either but can wean yourself off of it.

      I’ve not shopped on Amazon for like 5 years now. I just buy a lot less crap to be honest.

      I buy a lot off eBay. Not that they’re perfect, but at least they’re not owned by Bezoz.
