I still buy some stuff off there but have been using it less, orders over $25 have free shipping, they still want you to spend money with them even if you're not paying for Prime. Walmart is faster and cheaper for certain things, especially food/pantry items but they are just as evil. I don't have a Costco membership but they have good deals online from what I can tell, wish they had a physical store in my town that would make it more worth it. If you find a vendor on Amazon that has something you like you could search for that vendor's actual website online and order directly from them.
