      I think most people think you NEED the Prime subscription to use Amazon and that’s false.

        Though I’ve never used it myself, my understanding is that a subscription is actually less expensive than paying the shipping directly for lots of things.

            Ok so you start out looking for one thing on amazon.

            ooo shiny! Free shipping if I spend $35!

            Then you start adding a bunch of crap that was on your “ok maybe if I find 20 bucks in an old coat” list.

            How much are you actually saving?

          Amazon has free shipping on almost everything if you spend over $35 on the order. If I need to increase how much I’m spending I add some hand soap or some kind of dry grocery item.

        Unfortunately the (extra) 2% back on the amazon credit card at Amazon and whole foods makes up for the cost every month for my family.
