Back then, Amazon was the shit. My GF at the time and I cancelled our Costco membership because shipping was good and selection was better.

Now, Amazon is shit. And now back to buying in-store whenever possible. And got a Costco membership again.

I have a running cart in my Amazon and about once every two weeks I'll hit the purchase button.

Just not worth it anymore.
