    Succeeding at buying from Amazon is easy:

    1. Make sure that the local brick-and-mortar doesn’t have the thing you want first.
    2. Avoid products that have SEO titles (“fish bowl for fish container fish aquarium for fish”), or nonsensical manufacturer names (FDRTNHY).
    3. Weep quietly because it’s page 50 and there still aren’t any listings that don’t violate #2.

        I never did, until I moved into a very remote area where travel expenses mean every trip needs to count so if the shops don’t have it you’re screwed. Or if they do have it, it often is too expensive compared to online offers :(
