For infrastructure, I may be using it indirectly. GCE hosts a VPN server. Everything else is on Linode, Digital Ocean, and Vultr. I could very well be accidentally using Amazon, but I've steered clear as best I could.

For shopping, absolutely and already have. Local stores were/are still plenty sufficient with the dry goods. The butcher shop down the road is managing to keep well stocked. Local produce markets are doing a great job. Ebay kicked Amazon's rear for things that weren't available locally. Because of the free time gained the lack of commute, wanting a small audio studio and green screen setup for conference calls was a fun project. The gear was here in 2 days from regional suppliers found on eBay and reverb. Since that was setup, 10 pounds of bulk Lego was purchased from ATLBrick and specific Lego from BrickOwl to try Lego stop-motion. To blow off stress local gun stores have stock Amazon is too scared to handle. The local work wear store has been great to work with. The town lumber yard is always a pleasure. Dealing with Amazon and their crazy delays isn't worth it. Best of all, I don't have to deal with sellers of knock-offs and counterfeit items when I shop locally.
