I'm not exactly a good data point because I hate buying things without a good reason and buy stuff as infrequently as possible. But I also keep good records of my purchases. On average every year despite being anti-consumerism* I will buy one set of rechargable batteries, one cable, one charger, one protective case, one adapter. (So far only one of my purchases have been from Basics.)
8 of 16 of the search results fit this (rather arbitrary) "once a year" description.
Anyway, on your own purchases. Stylus, case, cable, cable. Basics has only been around for six years. And you really need to count all of the non-Basics purchases, because that is what Amazon is trying to capture.
* I don't feel this way, but multiple people have told me the economy would collapse if everyone acted the way I do.
- thaumasiotes 11y agoBut at one cable a year, you're not even close to buying each cable product every year, nor to buying each product that you're a customer for every year. If I fit the model you describe ("the items in the catalog are items that a person will buy at least once a year"), I wouldn't be buying one cable a year -- I'd be replacing every one of my cables every year. Instead, I never replace them at all, making them items that I bought once. If you want to say "the items in the catalog fall into categories, and a customer will typically buy a single item from any given category once a year"... then you've descended into meaninglessness. You can categorize fire pits however you want. They'll fit that definition some ways and they won't fit other ways.
