Prime is not a smart choice.
Not paying a fee to shop...
Also, amazon is rarely the cheapest option.
and why would you want to give Jeff B free money?


depends

time is money

saves time driving to store, walking through store, waiting in checkout line with the dustys at walmart

granted you miss out on the door greeter experience walmart offers


do you account for fuel cost, wear and tear of your vehicle for all of your in store shopping activities?

for daily stuff you might need around the house, theyve got most of what youd ever need. a lot of vendors have their own pages

and it usually is the cheapest, esp considering most places require a spending minimum or youre paying for shipping

and returning is easy

i dont use it for everything but i use it for a lot


ill look into how much i 'save' in shipping costs by having prime. ive got over 90 orders this year so thinking itll atleast break even but TBD

e/
apparently things ship for free anyways if its over $35. TIL

and w/ prime, 2 day shipping isnt always gauranteed

maybe ill drop it. starting to doubt that im getting $139 worth of 'prime' free shipping. need to look at it

Prime is free because I pay for prime video, and it’s an amazing choice because you get same day delivery. Almost all Amazon prices are the exact same, if not cheaper at my local HEB, so you’re incorrect here! And you’re always paying billionaires, unless you shop small business and there are zero small business grocery stores in my area, also, paying MORE to support a small business would be the dumb decision. Hope this helps :thumbsup:

Free shipping plus prime streaming

It's not bad especially if you order junk off Amazon

Idk if it works different in Canada but now that you mention it all of my Amazon deliveries come from Amazon employees driving their own cars for the most part

Wait! They are delivering. Just no overtime nor weekends. I think that Amazon also has a note on that.
