competing anecdata: if i just needed some batteries, i wouldn't use amazon for that. i already get too many boxes from them, which accumulate as unwanted guests in every corner of my house, so i try to consolidate small orders. and there is some additional friction there: making sure all my orders have been delivered, not allowing boxes to hang out on the porch too long in case they might get stolen, etc.
far more likely, i'll just put the batteries on my shopping list for the next time i am at the grocery.
As awesome as the 1-click button is for getting products to your door, box fatigue is a real thing. Lately I just add products to my cart until one of those additions become pressing, then I review my cart and purchase. Half the items in there I wind up relegating to the "Save for Later" list.
Honestly, it also provides the thrill of impulse shopping without the guilt or monetary expense. Most of the "save for later" items never get ordered, or I realize they're part of a bigger project I need to make time for.
