What specialty items do you still buy on Amazon?

Question/Advice?

Look guys, i'm going to level with you.
I avoid Amazon at all cost.
From 2015-2025 I never spent more than 200$ a year with them. (most years I never cracked 100 and 2018 & 2019 I didn't spend anything on them.)

Ever since I moved into my apartment in April of 2024 with my girlfriend i've used it a bit more. (Never cracking 300 in a year except for this year when I bought a Nintendo Switch 2) My girlfriend uses amazon COMPULSIVELY. (Hates grocery stores, department stores all that)

I will be the first to admit, that while I practice anticonsumerism pretty stringently, i've definitely let myself slip this year.

But all the years up until now there were certain items I only bought from Amazon.
They were:

Broccoli Sprouting Seeds about 60$ a year
Matcha Powder about 75-100$ a year$
and an obscure Kiwi Gummy Candy I buy 2 to 3 times a year. about 40$ a year.

I just can't find these things anywhere locally, and online prices outside of amazon for these specific items are absurdly exorbitant otherwise.

What say you? Are you man/woman enough to admit that there are some things that are truly better to get on Amazon? if so, what are they and how often do you purchase them?
