Do it now. You will not regret it. There are alternatives for everything. Including just doing less online shopping.
Preach! For sure, been cutting down as much as possible. It helps that prices are thru the roof and I don't need a lot.
I've always been a major thrifter, almost everything I own is second hand or hand me down, but I also happen to enjoy collecting, which is where the online element sometimes comes in.
Don't get me wrong, I've only ordered from Amazon less than a dozen times, never had Prime, and most of my purchases have always been local.
I honestly love that folks are trying to wean off the toxic teat that is US technocracy. I can jive with it.
