Ive been shopping on AliExpress, Temu, Shein for many years. That has saved me many thousands of dollars. Amazon is overpriced and they get them off those sites I've mentioned.

What did you save thousands of dollars on?
👀
Everyday items that you buy throughout your life, electronic etc.
For example a dish rack is like 35 bucks on Amazon. The exact same dish rack is 10 dollars on AliExpress.
I see this rack is going for 26.54 on amazon. So $5 savings… worth it? Maybe.
you can just, not buy things
Over time it becomes worth it. I first started buying things directly from Chinese websites over a decade ago when thise websites were new. I was skeptical at first about putting in my credit card and no one I knew used those websites. Everyone used Amazon but I decdied to try it and it saved me thousands over time.
5 dollars per item is worth it over a decade. Although back then the savings were much bigger then 5 dollars. Since the tarrif war started I've noticed prices have been going up and will continue. Hopefully manufacturing comes back soon because I'm tired of all the low quality stuff. Both AliExpress and Amazon are Chinese junk.
Save as much as you can and buy Bitcoin and only buy what you really need.
they are cheap because china doesn't buy stuff from USA and charges a fortune in import duties for it
i for one am sick of only having teh option to buy cheap chinese shit, i remember when nice italian and french kitchen stuff were commonly sold
Ya I'm sick of it too and many of us too. Back then people tried to buy local in order to stop China but in the end buying local does not stop China. It just makes someone more poor and buying local usually means you are supporting someone's overpriced mortgage.
There was no way to stop China back then so I always bought the cheapest things and saved as much possible.
At least now we have Bitcoin and Trump pushing back on China. So things are looking good for the future. Keep stacking Bitcoin. It's our only hope.
