34. For ordering things

Fri Jan 17, 2025, 06:02 PM

Jan 2025

I order what I can from Target. It always arrives faster than they say it will.
I also enjoy some of the videos that are available through Prime.
A lot of Acorn things are available for nothing through our library. Now it's through Hoopla; they used to have Kanopy, also good.

When my annual Prime membership ended I just signed up for the one month subscription. They keep telling me I'll save $40 over the year if I make it annual, but I'm not planning to make it annual. Every month I find some new ways to avoid Amazon.

But there are some things that are hard to find without driving all over town and Amazon can have it here in the morning. That's where I'm stuck. I'm just trying to plan better and do it less and less.

They really got us stuck during the COVID lockdown.
