Amazon prices

Anyone find Amazon prices are much higher lately? I've ordered a couple of things over the last couple of weeks and ended up buying from target instead. Example shampoo and conditioner for dd, $13 through Amazon and $7.50 through target.

Yes! I've even had to cancel some of my subscriptions because their prices just keep increasing. I hate that you can't lock into a price and they can basically charge you whatever they want.

I've recently started using Walmart online. They offer free 2 day shipping on orders over $35 and the prices are better than Amazon.

I've noticed this a lot lately. I've canceled most of my Subscribe and Save items. I just ordered from Walmart and it was free two day delivery and many things are priced lower than Amazon.

I did too.
For any toy I was looking to buy DD I would check Walmart, Target, Amazon and Toys R US

9 times out of 10 it was cheapest at Target. (plus I have the red card so always free shipping and 5% off)

The only time I will use Amazon for something like that is if I need it fast and they are offering it on prime.

Yep. Amazon and I broke up a while ago because of this, among other reasons. I only order from them now if I can't find what I need anywhere else. Or if I need it right away.

I still do very well at target although I've started ordering from target online a lot too. I follow pink rose mama on fb and she pays when there are good deals. Amazon prices fluctuate so much so you just have to jump when the price is good.

Another thing to be aware of- the prices in Target brick and mortar stores vary from store to store.
The Sayville store is SIGNIFICANTLY higher in prices than the one I go to by work, Commack.
I mean like a difference of a few dollars on certain items I buy a lot so I know the prices. I'm not talking cents...like one item was almost $3 more!

It's really bullshyt if you ask me- I get so annoyed by that!

I realized that too. It's very frustrating. I also hate when their online prices are so much cheaper then the store prices. For larger items I always take the time to check because it's been significant.

Oops, meant to say I still do well at Amazon but also started ordering a lot from target. I got a 5x7 area rug for $26 from amazon last week (and it actually showed up lol). Today I ordered a 2 pack of throw pillow inserts on a lightning deal for $12. They were $9 each online at target.

you can price match at customer service. I always do this for dog food since it's always $10 cheaper online then in store.
