Over time it becomes worth it. I first started buying things directly from Chinese websites over a decade ago when thise websites were new. I was skeptical at first about putting in my credit card and no one I knew used those websites. Everyone used Amazon but I decdied to try it and it saved me thousands over time.
5 dollars per item is worth it over a decade. Although back then the savings were much bigger then 5 dollars. Since the tarrif war started I've noticed prices have been going up and will continue. Hopefully manufacturing comes back soon because I'm tired of all the low quality stuff. Both AliExpress and Amazon are Chinese junk.
Save as much as you can and buy Bitcoin and only buy what you really need.
