Today I am sharing why I think homemaking without amazon is so freeing and builds your home economy. And answering the most common questions on why we don't shop from amazon and how. I haven’t bought from Amazon since January 2021. In this video I share the *why* (local economy, small-business ethics, 30-50 % Amazon cuts) and the *how* (auctions, thrift, estate sales, neighbor-first buying). The outcome of our amazon free lifestyle has been less junk, more money saved, and our home that is filled with beautiful, meaningful things. If shopping from amazon is an addiction or causing you anxiety I encourage you to start by trying an amazon free month!
