Can you guys have a requirement? Something like Before & Afters must have at least one photo from THE SAME ANGLE

It's kinda odd; my spice cupboard is totally disorganized, mismatched containers of different size & make, baggies, tubs, little bottles for oils, etc. BUT, I know exactly where everything is. My delightful sister is always introducing me to new spices

Brilliant

I love the tile & color. It is a big improvement from the sad original!

Damn. That is fantastic. So clean & bright!

Oh how I WISH the pigeon app was available on other platforms!!!

It's kinda a dick move. Because it's good for Amazon's business doesn't make it any less of a dick move.
A friend of mine is a small business owner. She was hoping that this would actually drive people into her store; where she also hoped they would realize how wonderful her shop is, and how they're not all that more expensive than Amazon

Must. Make. Hello Kitty Empanadas.

Um....I don't think that will have a significant impact on the product's life. Especially in comparison to it's current useable life. Honestly, when was the last time you threw away a tv because it malfunctioned. Compare that to the last time you "upgraded" to a new tv.
How much of what you own do you throw away from over use? (honest question)
The exception that comes to mind is furniture. That stuff is garbage. But their old stuff probably doesn't last much longer than the new, less resources, stuff. Should WalMart stop trying to conserve resources because people thing that extra stuff has extra value?

It really comes down to two things: Market Equilibrium and supporting (local, small, organic, family run, free range, cruelty free, heritage/heirloom, grows funky veggies) farms.
Prices take a little while to go down after a sudden spike in demand. More farms will find it profitable to get into the business, providing more competition, reducing the price.
Second, sure, you could spend $3/lb for a locally grown, organic, specialty potato; or $1/lb for a treated-with-chemicals-to-appear-fresh, trucked across the country, uses crazy amounts of resources, run of the mill potato at a supermarket. If those things don't matter to you, go to the super market. If you care more about sustainable farming & business practices, the environment, local economy, nicer potatoes, less chemicals, etc; the pony up a little extra. But you're really comparing apples to oranges when you compare a select farmer's market potato to a bargain basement supermarket one.
