  • Keep trying on other instances unless your views align with .ml. Otherwise you'll be automatically deemed a tankie by a lot of people and that might alter your experience on the fediverse.

    Welcome to Lemmy!

  • I have a credit card that gives 6% cash back on grocery stores. Gift Cards are supposed to be excluded from that, but it still works at some stores. I used to buy Amazon gift cards, effectively making Amazon 6% cheaper.

    There's some psychological stuff to consider, though. Did I spend more on Amazon because there was a gift card balance? I like to tell myself no, but I probably did.

  • I know not everyone has this option, but we recently switched to a local pharmacy. It's awesome. Scripts are always ready. Never a line. The pharmacist actually comes over and talks about side effects.

    I picked up multiple prescriptions for my wife over a period of a week for some shit she was going through and they actually went as far as asking if she's going ok.

    Flu and COVID vaccines are walk-in, no appointment, and you can choose between Moderna and Pfizer.

    Compared to the chains around me it's amazingly better. Worth the extra few minutes in the car.

  • I notice the same thing. I think it's because they are busy moving it from a distant warehouse to one closer to you, because you can't possibly keep all of the same crap in all of the warehouses. So it's being transported, but not "shipped", allowing them to take longer.

  • This is the main reason I cancelled Prime. They started advertising "More than just free shipping", and I realized that I only used it for free shipping, and as Prime got more and more expensive I wasn't getting any value from it.

    Now I just put stuff in my cart until I have $35 worth of stuff, and get free shipping anyway. It's not that much slower. An extra day or two usually, and it doesn't bother me one bit. I can wait a little while for my $10 guitar strap and it's not the end of the world.
