Amazon is a racket. There, FTFY
The Keepa browser extension is a great way to see that grift, with graphs. Every time someone tells me about a good deal on Amazon, I show them that it's a price markup from the price 3-6 months ago, and teh "sale" is 10% off that marked up price.

Remember, this is all justified because Jeff Bezos does not yet have enough money.

Here's the secret: stop buying shit from amazon. JFC people.
I've been buying from Amazon for years. Not sure whether I'll ever be able to cut them out completely, but I have never paid for Prime and I never will. I pretty much only make an order when I have enough in my cart to qualify for free shipping, and I don't mind waiting a week for it. If I need it sooner (rarely) I pay for shipping.
Would be nice if there was a non firewall link for this.
