Price on Amazon vs price on other shops makes it hard to avoid Amazon sometimes

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39071513

Anyone else struggling to avoid Amazon because of the price of some things? I need 3M Tegaderm for example and on Amazon it cost 28€ for 10cm by 10m roll and on other sites that are not Amazon I can only find it for pretty much double the price (shop-apotheke.com has it for 58,40€ https://www.shop-apotheke.com/arzneimittel/3816512/3m-tegaderm-roll-10-cm-x-10-m.htm and medizinbedarf.eu has it for 49,60€ https://www.medizinbedarf.eu/3M-Tegaderm-Roll-Transparentverband-unsteril-10-cm-x-10-m). Stuff like this really makes it difficult.
Anyone know where I can find this as cheap as on Amazon or at least not much more expensive?

Not only that, but the super fast shipping included in Prime subscription, make it even harder cancel it
- You'll be amazed how fast they ship when you're not subscribed. It's like it's coming the same distance from the same warehouse.
  
  They deliberately delay sending things out just to fuck with unsubscribed customers.
- All you forget that with prime you don’t pay the shipping cost, that’s the biggest convenience in my opinion
- I can live without the super fast shipping to be honest. Recently I have started to always select the "Deliver later to reduce delivery trips" option on Amazon because I don't really care when it arrives but I want to help the delivery drivers make a few trips less.
