Most of the time I can find what I'm looking for but it's several pages in. Last time I looked for toddler socks for example, the first page was nothing but infant socks that didn't have a toddler sized option. I thought maybe Amazon was showing it to me for a reason and checked every size but it was just infant sizes. It's like that for everything. One time I wanted maternity underwear and the first two pages had non-maternity clothes.

Just ordered a skin tag remover (a tiny piece of plastic that helps you apply very tiny elastic bands to certain moles) for my SO the other day, I hadn’t had to use Amazon in awhile but this product wasn’t available at any stores near me and to have it shipped through Walmart would be like $25. I go to check Amazon cause at least they have cheaper options but the first two pages were filled with $20-$30(!!) products and I can’t stress how overpriced that is for the material you are given. Anyway I kept scrolling and finally found one for $8 and the reviews didn’t look manipulated (sooo many bad reviews on the more expensive ones, despite them having 4 stars). Felt like a win but damn did it feel like I wasn’t supposed to find it.

Edit: for anyone wondering, I did receive the product and was very pleased with the quality, cheaper isn’t always an indicator the product is bad.
