Boycott Amazon. It's simple and saves you money.

I've saved 100% on every prime day sale by not buying anything.

A perfect couple of days to not buy junk you dont need and make their underpaid workers work even harder.

Enshittification has come to Amazon Prime too. Lots of people report that two-day shipping is flaky, Prime Video is very limited in its basic tier, the deals are a joke. If you spend more than $25 you get free shipping so what exactly are you getting with Prime besides it coming a day earlier? I dropped it and definitely don't miss it.
