I like Amazon, Prime and Alexa.
I also like to support local businesses, even though it usually costs me more (e.g., farm markets)

Most of the things I subscribe to (15% off) are repeat buys: diapers, baby wipes, toilet paper, detergent, gum, my wife's lotion and other products, K-cups, etc.
The prices are usually the same or cheaper than local prices and arrive on my doorstep each month.

Amazon encourages ordering multiple items to try on, then return what doesn't fit or you don't want. Last winter my wife ordered six pairs of Carhart gloves of different styles and sizes; she was tired of [perfectly fine!!!] gloves that were starting to fall apart. I chose the mittens I wanted in the right size and sent the rest back.
My wife also orders multiple cheap clothing items for the kids and, if they don't fit, she sends them back.
