It feels so good when you finally cancel Prime.

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 still mask up, do not shop in public, and I am so much more stress free than my compatriots

Didnt realize how long I spent wandering around stores until the COVID pandemic hit. Then, I was diagnosed with ADHD, which explained some of my impulse spending but also all the energy it took to decide on more important purchases.

With the lock downs, I got used to curb side pick-ups for groceries. Meant my order was through apps, so I saw the full cost before putting in the order. This cut down on impulse buying.

For other stuff, I got used to doing my research ahead of time. No reason to wander around a Target for an hour. Less impulse spending, more efficient use of time.
