Price on Amazon vs price on other shops makes it hard to avoid Amazon sometimes (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Anyone else struggling to avoid Amazon because of the price of some things? I need 3M Tegaderm for example and on Amazon it cost 28€ for 10cm by 10m roll and on other sites that are not Amazon I can only find it for pretty much double the price (shop-apotheke.com has it for 58,40€ https://www.shop-apotheke.com/arzneimittel/3816512/3m-tegaderm-roll-10-cm-x-10-m.htm and medizinbedarf.eu has it for 49,60€ https://www.medizinbedarf.eu/3M-Tegaderm-Roll-Transparentverband-unsteril-10-cm-x-10-m). Stuff like this really makes it difficult.

Anyone know where I can find this as cheap as on Amazon or at least not much more expensive?

Actually I had it the other way around. The item on amazon was like 25€ and on Galaxus 19€+3€ shipping, so basically the same.

In case of other products it was super helpful to have a product/shopping search going (like idealo) to find the lowest bidder.

But in sum I find the product search on amazon more convinient: I start there just to search different shops for the found product 😈.

Idealo belongs to Springer and should be avoided

I agree that it is preferable to use existing alternatives like geizhals.eu. But better to use idealo to discover European alternatives than buying from Amazon.
