I think they recently raised it to $49, which at today's prices is
very easy to reach. However depending on ones shopping habits Amazon
Prime is a bargain... it costs a whole lot more than $100 a year to
drive all over from store to store looking to buy things plus dealing
with traffic and parking, and there's ones time (time is money), and
driving means taking risks, there are few risks shopping from ones
desk chair. Shopping on line makes it easy to check prices, and one
never needs to settle, one gets the exact item they want, in the color
and size they want... and no schlepping, heavy and over size items
come right to your door. It's difficult for me to comprehend people
complaining about shipping costs when they don't complain about the
cost of their own transportation.
