First off: great subject line that made me wanna read right away!
Second: this was the post that made me upgrade to paid. I’ve always loved you and supported you through flagship and affil links but have been largely off social media the last 3 months. Paying to subscribe feels like a way to continue contributing and also rewarding people like yourself who make decisions like this. Thank you for laying out the finances - that was so helpful and admirably transparent.
I cancelled my prime subscription about 5 years ago. I steal prime video from a friend and order from Target or small businesses whenever I can. It can be done and I barely miss it. There are things I can ONLY buy on Amazon and amazingly, waiting 3-5 days hasn’t killed me?!?
I love you, Caroline and appreciate you leading with your values. Xoxoxox
I’m obsessed with this! If I wasn’t already a paid subscriber then this would have done it for sure. And this is a nice reminder to check your flagship first before shopping anywhere else. As always thanks for your transparency. Excited to keep following you on this journey! 🩷
I wanted to share my extremely positive experience with Flagship regarding a couple of returns. They responded quickly and pleasantly. Looking forward to more shopping through the Gee Thanks Flagship!
I’ve also had an extremely positive and seamless experience returning something via Flagship. It was a slight concern I had but has been completely assuaged.
YES! I walked away from Walmart about 8 years ago, and have never regretted it. I order some weird specialty skincare and supplements that it had never occured to me that I could order from the manufacturer, so I have been ordering them from Amazon. A few months ago, I checked to see, and of course I can order direct from them! Never ordering from Amazon again.
Thanks for this and also for helping verbalize many of my same feelings in “these times.” It’s exhausting and impossible to be perfectly and 100% aligned with my values, but this is a really helpful way of framing ways that I can do better with shopping my values, without feeling like a monster for keeping my Prime membership.
A friend of mine uses the term imperfect revolution and I love it. It’s about doing the best we can, and understanding it’s not possible to do it perfectly. Or the goal.
For bulk toilet paper: Who Gives a Crap. Sustainable paper made with bamboo, septic safe, big charity giveback, and easy subscriptions (easy to sign up, easy to cancel, easy to shift the delivery date). I've used them for years, and even through the pandemic there wasn't an issue.
That’s my BEST FRIEND.

I too cancelled Prime several years ago and have been fine. Waiting is good. 🥰
Caroline, your transparency is so admirable. Thank you for what you do and what you share with all of us!

Freaked out a little re: another break up. (You got us, ha!) But am so proud of you for being brave and making this move.
I love this and appreciate you rising to the moment and being transparent about it!
Thank you for your transparency and conscientious leadership! Proud to be a member of this community!
Just wanted to say "Bravo" Caroline. You are just influencing done right.
I love this! It gives me goosebumps thinking one of my fave local small businesses could be a Gee Thanks! brand <3
You are amazing. So proud to know you.
I am so on board to support this pivot. I’ll follow you anywhere, Caroline!
Thank you for always being so thoughtful!
