Three years ago I made a significant amount of my purchases each month with Prime. I haven't renewed Prime in over a year and my last Amazon purchase was about 6 months ago.

Amazon's prices are no longer cut-throat.

Have you found good alternatives? The friction of typing in credit card/shipping details on various websites (with sometimes questionable security) has kept me on Amazon. Shopify and Stripe are moving in the right direction with their "Remember Me" option that works across stores.

Chrome does a decent job remembering credit cards. I just have to remember the CVC code.

Yes. I Google the product I want and I almost always find it listed at a cheaper price on Google Shopping or in the first few links in the search pane. For electronic accessories, I skip the Amazon reseller middlemen, and just use Aliexpress directly.

Chrome's autofill works across devices so, besides entering my security code, I haven't manually entered my card info in quite some time.
