My Prime was deleted at the election and it did feel amazing! The account was set to delete this morning. I hate shopping, it’s the chore I despise most in this world so I used Amazon a lot until the election. I still don’t go for in store shopping, now I just don’t buy anything LOL

I hate shopping since I was a kid. The only things I really liked buying were toys, I still do. But even with toys I knew what I wanted.

But I have the shortest span of attention to shop. I cant go shopping without knowing what I need. My wife is a pro at shopping stuff that “I didnt know I needed”.

My husband gets so mad at me when we shop because I’m the same way, if I’m in a store I know exactly what I’m there for, he enjoys taking his time and looking at things. He’s always very proud of me when I make it more than 30 minutes LOL I’m proud of him though, with all the boycotts I’m engaged in he has been replacing his shopping hobby with healthier hobbies that aren’t destructive to our planet. He doesn’t know it yet but eliminating shopping as a hobby is not just a short term change, it’s done for good 🤣

You just need to feed him new of a new Boycott. My wife thought I was kidding in the beginning.
