I actually didn’t buy something I wanted yesterday and found an alternative instead because of the out of control price gouging the last few years. I bought a compost bin there 4 years ago for $24. I needed a new one and went to my purchase history to buy the same one. They want $50 now. Seriously, man? 100% price increase in 4 years? Nah man. I found something else. The worst part is that it wasn’t even a good can. The lid broke after a year. $50 for a tiny one gallon trash can that’ll last a year is completely ridiculous.
That’s ridiculous. Nothing on Amazon lasts very long these days, crazy to raise prices on low quality stuff. Good for you for finding an alternative. I always try to get the cheapest stuff. I need to be better about only getting what I need and not pulling the trigger whenever I think of something I need.
People will pay whatever a company asks as long as people have money or credit. By “people” I mean the consumerist masses, not you and me.
Haha I unfortunately count in the consumerist masses. Don’t use credit much anymore, but definitely addicted to Amazon Prime.
