What’s your view between saving money by shopping the big almost monopoly companies like Amazon, Sam’s Club, AMC theaters, vs supporting local small business but getting charged more?
I hate having to choose but it’s inevitable. Local business usually can’t match the prices of the large name staple companies, but the idea of the monopoly companies controlling everything and eating all other competitors sucks.
All my local theaters are buying bought by AMC, local theaters just can’t match the quality of screens, seats, or price, or all three. Amazon is not only cheaper but much more convenient than shopping local (although you often get worse quality at Amazon). Most small shops don’t have the space or logistics to support bulk products and therefore can’t match wholestores like Costco or Sam’s Club.
Where do you draw the line and how do we balance these things?
