If you have Netflix for $15 a month you are already paying $130/year for that. Everything else is bonus. It is true, amazon gets your with the convenience. Some items are particularly expensive but if you know what your looking for you can avoid the convenience traps.
I use it for my business. It’s cheaper for me to pay an extra dollar for toilet paper than to send a$15/hr employee to the store to buy it, which will certainly take him an hour at least.
At home my wife is stuck with the kids and most times it’s easier to pay an extra dollar than load up the kids and unload them etc. for a single item. Amazon is so big because they are doing it right and th customers are deciding with their pocket books.
As a brick and mortar store it kind of hurts me to say it. Amazon will eventually put me out of business as soon as they decide to sell appliances.

Bingo. If I can wait two days for it, and don't have the time to drive around for it, Amazon gets the order.
Most stuff is cheaper-my Pirellis were $185/pop. Local shops were $220+
Go price out a surefire on amazon vs dick's ($60 vs $100).
Think of it as a really convenient and decently priced walmart.
