but when I can gather up a little, I usually find what I need on Amazon. It'll be such a weird thing that finding it in Walmart (the only other place to shop in this little city) is a no-go. I don't agree with Bezos politics, nor him as a person. Right now he is providing me a service I can't easily get elsewhere. (shrug)
What I am finding disconcerting and is going to make me back off even more than I have been, is the way they're now doing their shipping. Last weekend I bought three items, one, a cable set, a gift at around 7.00. One a personal item, and the other a "cooling" blanket for my bed. I am SO tired of waking up drenched in sweat, meanwhile I'm freezing everyone else out of the house! Saw this particular blanket among many... not the cheapest and sure not the most expensive and decided to give it a try. Took a bit more than discretionary funds, but I AM very tired of being drenched in the AM. Shipping was suppose to be free, and it was suppose to get to me by the next day.
Instead, they split up all three (even tho they were all on one order), and I got charged shipping on 2 because they were so cheap. I figure it's just another way of Bezos to take advantage of us, and I'm NOT happy. Still...
I LOVE the bedspread, I've used it three nights now, and I've not wakened drenched to the gills yet! Whoopee! (LOL)
