I have been disabled without income for nearly 10 years and finally after apply for 10 years I got my SSI. It’s not a lot but it’s better then just food stamps.

I go to WinCo for food for the whole time. It seems always good prices and just nice compared to anywhere else

My question is where and how do you spend money for things you need. I tried Amazon and it’s way way way to much things and I don’t know what is good or not as it’s just 1000s of products of the exact same thing.

I went to Walmart and everything seems just worse from what I remember and prices are from what I remember to be extremes.

So from someone who hasn’t really bought anything besides food for last 10 years. Any tips or help on well…Buying necessities and things?

    Anything you see on Amazon is made by a company.

    Go to the company’s website and bypass Amazon.

    I’m a man who likes to get my clothes from places that sell work clothes. They may be called uniform supply shops in your area.

    And yes, prices are ridiculous right now.

      I haven’t shopped at Amazon for a year or two now. It is not as cheap as people believe and anything worth buying can be found elsewhere, usually for the same price (sometimes less). Most places even have similarly fast shipping and some use Amazon as a shipping service, which I wish they would disclose up-front so I could choose to shop elsewhere.
