At first, you might not even notice the extra costs.
The Free Shipping Trap
Just the term free shipping makes you feel like youre saving money.
Amazon is banking on that psychological trick, especially when targeting customers who dont have an Amazon Prime membership.
But what if you only needed something under $35?
The Algorithm Trap
Isnt it amazing how Amazon always seems to know exactly what you want?
Feels like magic, doesnt it?
Well, its not quite a matter of pulling a rabbit out of a hat its data.
But you dont have to white-knuckle your way through temptation.
This helps reset Amazons recommendations and minimizes tempting product suggestions.
the thing you didnt even know you needed until five seconds ago will be out of your grasp forever.
Okay, slow down.
Ask yourself: Do I really need that item?
bail out of your account, clear your head, and see if you still want it later.
And if you do still want it, you might always come back to it.
