My family mostly boycotted Amazon after their pullback from diversity initiatives, amongst other things (anti-union behavior). We spend 80% less than we used to. The drop is probably even bigger than that because we had a kid just before we started boycotting and so our spending increased significantly. We will buy from Amazon if we have no other options, but 80% of the time there are plenty of other options and often they are cheaper.
Amazon has Toddleroo products, but you can also buy them direct from the manufacturer at northstatesind.com and with the WELCOME10 coupon code it’s actually cheaper than Amazon, and you can use it more than once.
We also switched to shopping a ton more from Costco. Some products automatically get free shipping, like diaper genie refills. Costco didn’t back down from diversity initiatives so I basically said Take My Money (we already were avid Costco Warehouse shoppers).
The biggest challenge is shipping costs. I either have to order enough to meet the manufacturer’s minimum to get free shipping, or eat the shipping cost. That being said, Prime is like $180 a year? Even if I pay for shipping I think I am still saving money.
you guys actually use the diaper genie? Nearly every parent ive met abandoned that thing after a short time. Maybe theyve gotten better in the last ten years, but its a glorified and baby taxed trash can
good for you all though. thanks for taking a stand for something!
Yep. We had one break (the plastic tab that locks it is so thin and brittle), and used a normal trash cash after that for a while and the diaper smell was much more noticeable. Both were “buy nothing” finds. The second one is still going strong (I wrapped duct tape around the plastic tab which may have helped).
I like to joke that they make the most disgusting sausages in the world.
