Seems Amazon is offering a new form of convenience: a gadget called a Dash Button.
If I have this right ... You order a "button" (which looks a bit like a thumb drive) for your favorite products ... ranging from detergent to dog food. It hooks up to your WiFi through a phone app. When you run out of said product, just push the button and Amazon will deliver the goods to your house.
My first thought was that this was not a good thing if you have small children or large pets in the house. Though I now see that it will only process the first push --- so you don't end up with a 10-year supply of paper towels.
Admittedly, it is convenient. But I can also see how that convenience can lull you into just buying ... without checking prices.
(And full disclosure: I do buy some products via Amazon's Subscribe & Save option ... though I do check prices periodically.)

They seem to make things easier and easier for a person to part with their money. However, I can see that the button could be a handy thing to use.
God bless.
