Even better? Put it in your amazon cart…leave it there….then go to the other retailer to purchase

Amazon is now Pinterest for shopping lists.

I’ve heard people say that! My instinct would have been not to interact at all, or as little as possible. What effect does this have?

It's like a shopping list and helps you remember what you're getting. Plus, it has reviews so you'll have some idea of how good it is and what issues you could run into.

(Side note: I check reviews on Fakespot)

I think if many ppl abandon shopping carts like in the boycott week last month, Amazon takes note. It’s a data point at the very least that you didnt buy, because you went elsewhere.

Sometimes amazon will tap you - hey you didnt check out ?

With super high tariffs on Chinese goods starting…Amazon is going to hike prices anyway! So might pay to shop local.
