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?

And that's the thing, you found it, yes?

As an example for Spain, the product you say it is for 35€ on Amazon: https://www.amazon.es/Tegaderm-Roll-10/dp/B00E633SK6

And here for 26€: https://farmaciachaves.es/vendas-y-esparadrapos/12932-3m-tegaderm-roll-10-x-10-cm-1-u.html

And here for 23€: https://medicamarquet.com/tienda/material-desechable/curas/apositos/rollo-de-lamina-transparente-16004s-10-cm-x-10-m-3m-tegaderm/

It even beats the 28€ price you found on your amazon.

So Amazon = Cheaper is not true.
