12. Amazon's prices are now extremely high

I go to Amazon to find the exact item I want.

Then I google that exact item.

There are a ton of places who charge less for that exact same item and ALSO offer free shipping.

I researched a ladder I wanted about two months ago. When I found it, I went out on the internet and guess what?

The exact same ladder that Amazon wanted 125 bucks for, was available from the ladder's manufacturer for 75 bucks. Free shipping.

Every time I want to buy something I follow this routine. I would guess that I buy the item 75% of the time from some other supplier.
