    Are you an Amazon fanatic? I am.

    I order most everything on the Amazon website. The UPS, USPS and Fed Ex (before they fell out) delivery guys are like family. They are here most every day making deliveries. It is addicting only second to VMB. And it works for lazy me. I rarely go to local stores except for perishable foods.

    We are not fanatics, but I would say my wife orders from them at least once week. Me, once a month.
    She still likes going to stores and shopping. Me, not so much, so if I never had to go into another Kohls, Target etc I'd be happy. Home Depot, Menards and Lowes are OK. :D

    Not addicted, but have replaced almost all brick-n-mortar purchasing with online, primarily from Amazon. The only things I need, hands on - for the most part - are shirts and pants. Long ago I switched from shopping to buying (e.g. I need a pair of pants so I'll go to JCP and purchase a single pair of pants, nothing more). The benefit for me is that there is no wasted trip to a store (they don't have the product I want...gotta go to x-store and if they don't have it, y-store, etc.).

    I love shopping on Amazon- the convenience and the prices do it for me...I order something probably every week. Often I price check for what I want and Amazon has things the cheapest... and sometimes I want something that isn't in a local store - again, Amazon has it.
    My grandchildren live in NJ and I am in Florida - I can order their birthday present and have it sent directly to them - makes life easy! Christmas I do the same thing.

    Nope but I get many emails in my Spam folder that indicate Amazon owes me much money.

    Nope! I am restoring a 1929 wooden boat and I decided before I started the project I would source everything locally or from individuals online. So far it has been a pain in the ass but I have stayed true to my goal.
    My wife on the other hand is a compete Amazon addict.

    Car parts, computer parts, my Korean coffee (Maxim Gold), games, gifts.....
    We buy from Amazon and online in general a LOT.
    Some groceries I still have to pick out myself. (fruits, veggies, meat, deli & bakery)

    I don't subscribe/save yet but I'm getting to that point.
    We get multiple packages nearly every day.
    We have a lock-box and cameras.
    Larger items can be a problem.

    i use amazon and walmart.com against each other. I go with the best price. It's all about stuff we need and saving money. I then take the money I saved and go to Vegas! True story.

    Im not addicted but I use Amazon frequently. Many times I’ll find sales in store for electronics and other things that Amazon can’t beat.

    I don’t use Amazon in place of grocery shopping. I’m in my early 30’s and cook for my family and friends at least 4 times a week, so browsing the store, shopping around in-store sales helps with my menu planning. Not to mention quality and selection of food. :)

    I do like Amazon for their quickness - like oh man I needed toothbrush heads for my electric toothbrush - ordered em Friday and got them yesterday. It’s not true for all things on Amazon though.

    I mostly like them for buying books and CDs/vinyl.

    I was able to find a DVD of my favorite movie, Bob Fosse's All That Jazz, on Amazon.
    It has never been put into circulation for digital downloads or On Demand, Netflix etc.
    I had been looking for what seems like forever. Received it the other day.
    Not addicted but very happy about this purchase. :)

    I use them for some things. Less of a crapshoot than Ebay! :) "Let your fingers do the walking" to coin a phrase. :) :) :)

    I :noangel: am not addicted and blame my need for Prime membership on feeding the habits of my Lego and Nintendo addicted grandsons, history addicted husband, and generally addicted to ‘all things Amazon’ daughters :whistle:

    My own Amazon purchases wouldn’t fill the gas tank of Bezos’ Chevy Blazer :rolleyes:

    I buy from amazon a couple times a year, only for purchases that I either cant get locally or that are much cheaper. I have noticed that e-bay is cheaper than amazon a lot of the time, usually with no tax as well.
