πŸ›‘οΈπŸ—‘οΈπŸ‰ How we stopped shopping on Amazon

In honor of the union workers taking a stand against Amazon, especially as the first 4-day Amazon Prime Day comes to a close, here's a video on how Dyalekt and I stopped shopping on Amazon in 2021. It took us a whole year to reduce our reliance on Amazon and another whole year to cancel our Prime membership.

I would wake up in the middle of the night, one click, and go back to sleep. - Pam 

I don’t want to. - also Pam, when Dyalekt asked to shopping at Amazon

What we asked ourselves

  • What feels vital vs amusing?

  • What are the replacements? 

  • How can we show ourselves patience? 

  • Are there coping mechanisms we can make?

  • What feeling are we creating or protecting by buying this thing?

Choose alternatives to buy from

  • Don’t expect them to fit your values either

  • Adjust your budget

  • Snowball method for spending

  • Remember what you don’t miss!
