It’s been ages since I’ve really done some deal hunting online with how ubiquitious Amazon is I’ve realized I’m not up to date with the current ecosystem for finding trustworthy online storefronts. Do you have any sources/tips for finding good quality products (especially with all the AI slop that exists nowadays)?

    Electronics: We have a local (DACH region) to compare nost electronics both in specs and price

    Anything else: Search on the web and decide from there.

    For example: I bought tea from a local japanese tea farm I got introduced by a youtuber visiting said farm.
    Example for other stuff: I will research it and then market research where it’s available.
    Is it a pain to get (example: No other payment then SEPA), then I’ll choose a shop that is more expensive but less pain to deal with.

    But everything is a trial and error. For drinks I am very cautious if I can’t test it while shopping and thus refrain from shopping it online.

        As Lemmy is usually US centric (Germany is usually only 2nd or 3rd place) I didnt deem it necessary. And most on Reddit are so tech focused, they are more or less already aware anyway.
