There's an easy solution for that.... cash.
Can I send an envelope full of cash to Amazon to buy a product? Cash is great for the physical medium if you are in person face to face and can exchange a physical commodity but when you need to exchange value over the internet then cash isn't a real option
Is that how you buy groceries? Because not me.
I buy groceries with Instacart and have them delivered. It saves me money since I'm not walking through the store and seeing all those items I can just get what I need and so I've done it that way for years
.......are you saying your reason for not going grocery shopping in person is because you'll fall victim to impulse buys, and advertising?
No, but it definitely helps. The primary reason is because I'm blind, and so therefore, if I go into a grocery store, I have to ask for a shoppers' assistant to walk around with me and help me get stuff, which is quite frankly a pain in the ass.
Ah, alright, thats different. That I can understand.
