Interesting — what sort of big-ticket items do people buy on Amazon that would add up to $7k? I don't buy computers or TVs there (prices are better elsewhere IME), and I can't think of anything else I buy that is in the several-thousand-dollar range. Honestly TVs wouldn't even do it, since I buy them infrequently and spend hundreds (not thousands) on them.
We do buy a lot of smaller items, and it's possible we spend $7k in total on an annual basis. But I'm curious what sort of regular big-ticket purchases might make this add up.
There's also the higher discount at Whole Foods, but honestly I've found their pricing to be so high in recent months that I don't go there at all. Bread, eggs, and milk were 40% more than at Trader Joes. They do have great deals occasionally, but the vast majority of our grocery purchases are staples that are typically quite expensive there.
- slipheen 3y agoI’m sure it varies from person to person- but I typically buy my Apple products there since they aren’t typically discounted elsewhere anyway. In the last year, I also picked up a treadmill, and new NAS device, and some camera equipment. My total spend for the year was somewhat embarrassingly high, but well over 7K.
