Fuck Amazon. Buy local. Cancel your prime membership.
Nothing, amazon is a leech. Don’t use amazon.
Agreed. Fuck amazon.
Workpro multitool often dips below $20.
The Cool Tools review on it is pretty good.
Cheap bluetooth obd2 scanner. But yeah, I’ve been trying to keep my Amazon spending to a minimum. I’ll try to buy from anywhere else first
These can be had from AliExpress for less. Amazon is a middleman and the markup can be significant
I had a VeePeak one for a while. It was excellent. Everyone should have one, honestly.
We don’t have Amazon.
It’s a bit more than 20 bucks but you can buy a ring of keys to pretty much any piece of heavy equipment you could possibly want.
You never know when say… Let’s pick a random one … A Komatsu D355A could come in handy.
Subtle. Nice.
I’m just glad someone got the reference
Rechargable hand warmers, pack of two, 10000mah
Oh my God yes, I bought one of these about 10 years ago it’s still going strong and whenever I get a little cold I just turn it on and it’s so nice.
Another thing that I found is amazing is putting them in your shoes are slippers for about 5-10 minutes before you use them, because it means when you put your shoes on they’re not super cold so it feels like you’re putting them in hot water instead of cold slippers
A really fucking long ethernet cable.
Use monoprice cheaper and better…
Monoprice sells on Amazon also and if you have prime it’s usually cheaper than paying for shipping from monoprice.com
Also not available in Europe, stop assuming people are from the same county as you.
I try to use Amazon less and less these days, but there are still some things worth getting for cheap.
A whole category for me is small kitchen items. Mixing bowls, bench scraper, oil bottles, squeeze bottles, etc. You can get good brands too, you just have to look a little harder these days.
If you’re in the US, check out webstaurantstore for those items. Way better pricing than Amazon, so you can have a whole stack of every size mixing bowl, sheet pans, glassware, etc, for what you’d pay on Amazon for one.
I used to live less than a minute from Aberdeen and have never heard of this. My wife, then girlfriend, would go to the Restaurant Supply store down near Baltimore instead. Thanks for the link!
Basically every usb cable i have bought. If you try it locally, there are like two bigger chains in every city who sell those at ridiculous costs. To get them at a reasonable price you’d have to drive to a specialised vendor available only in the biggest cities (conrad, elv) or at very remote places (e.g. pollin).
Fully agree, I refuse to get my USBC cables from any local store, Walmart used to be the best area around that you could find them for online, but since then Amazon has definitely taken over
I’ve bought these a few times and they’ve never disappointed. They seem really sturdy and they do my fast charging and data transfer with no issue. ~14USD for two 3ft, two 6ft and a 10ft is a good deal imo
Oh, not to forget about filament for the 3d printer. My favourite brands (sunlu, esun) are only available though amazon.
Apple dongle for 3.5mm headphones
The earbuds that connect to apple’s charging port are under $20 too.
I mean you can connect almost any IEMs or headphones to it. It’s got a really good DAC all things considering.
After experimenting with 400 mg and 100 mg doses, I bought 30 mg CoQ10 pills off Amazon and found just the right dosage.
A cheap Casio watch. Lasts ages and always helpful.
A good sleep mask
THIS THIS THIS
In my case my mom made a sleep mask for me in 11th grade and I’m still using it a bunch of times.
