My family and I are looking for Alternatives to Amazon this year. [View all]

Every time I think of buying from Amazon, my mind starts talking about "Bone Saw Bezos" and I just can't in good conscience use the service anymore. I needed some pint sized freezer containers that I always buy at Amazon, but I was delighted to find them for a reasonable price at Walmart--free shipping too! We've been compiling lists of retail alternatives to Amazon and are using the Giftster app this year instead of Amazon wish lists. Target, Walmart, Costco, and several other retailers offer free shipping just like Amazon. Here's an article in Rolling Stone for other alternatives:

Hope this helps.
