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?

It wouldn't be an action if it didn't require some action. It would be a non action if it didn't require you to pay in one way or the other.

Sometimes having to pay more, is the action and is part of being more ecological, more moral, political or standing your ground

You can't be an activist without action

I understand that but paying almost double is pretty unreasonable IMO. Fortunately with the help of some commentors I found an alternative shop with reasonable prices.
