Among many other things, it's the one place that I can buy fresh perfect Kirby cucumbers and fresh perfect okra pods year 'roun. :-) I won't be doing any "prime" shopping there however. I cancelled my Amazon Prime account the last time they raised their annual fee, especially when they auto-billed me without notification. Prime is worth it to me for those irritating little things you want specifically but will entail running all over town to find who has it. Just get on Amazon and order those boot shoe strings in the color and length you want. Can't find those cabinet magnets? Specific gardening supplies? Amazon has them. I made up the cost of Prime in shipping alone -- a trade off instead traipsing around town in the car using my time and gasoline. I am almost embarrassed when I order a less than $10 item to be shipped. Janet US |

I made up the cost of Prime in shipping alone -- a trade off instead traipsing around town in the car using my time and gasoline. I am almost embarrassed when I order a less than $10 item to be shipped. I feel exactly the same... Amazon Prime is a bargain considering all the time, energy and driving expenses saved, and it's not just gasolene, it's putting on miles and wear and tear, and most importantly a lot less risk of an accident sitting at my PC. And there's nothing Amazon doesn't have... sometimes I'm thinking to buy the most mundane item, as you say like shoe laces for my work boots, Amazon has them in every color and length, and for a lot less cost than from the sporting goods stores.... also they sell a better quality shoelace, I can't wear them out, and for some reason the cats don't chew the ends off like they do with LLBean laces. Amazon sells the "Miscly" brand, comes in a three pack, been using the first set for three years now and they show no wear, nor do they loosen.... and I wear them every day. I don't feel guilty ordering a $10 item with free shipping, considering I buy many more expensive items. And it's not just free shipping, it's free packaging too, and packaging can be expensive, order a $30 shovel and it has to cost $10 for packaging materials, plus someone's labor. Amazon Prime is a gigantic Bargain, anyone who complains about the yearly fee has sawdust for brains. |

I was wondering How do they know? are you going to give them your password? I'm a dinosaur, for sure. Of course you get an app on your phone and that's how they know you're a member. A one time thing, they just gave us the discount. Saved 60 cents on a watermelon. nancy |

I haven't tried that yet. Nothing I've bought at WF got me a Prime discount. Cindy Hamilton |

Of course. Not something I'd be doing but then I don't do the bulk of my shopping there and a discount on sale items isn't worth it. I haven't tried that yet. Nothing I've bought at WF got me a Prime discount. I've never thought What's on sale at Whole Foods? and gone there for that purpose. nancy |

It's been a good card and it seemed foolish not to apply for it. There was a $50 discount on anything I bought with a new application and I wanted to get something for about $100. It was a no brainer for me. Janet US |

They used to mail out a monthly flyer but no longer. Don't hear from them, I never even think to go there. That said, I've noticed that even Walmart rarely advertises. Target does with a sampling of everything from food to household goods, etc At least, I consider shopping there once a week after seeing the Sunday ads. |

Most normal people do. |

I usta have Amazon Prime. I even tested 'em on their claims. Sure enough. I bought an item fer jes over $2USD. It was there, at my doorstep, two days later, jes as Amazon promised. I even pay a guy to give me ride into town, now and then, cuz it saves wear/tear on my vehicle. OTOH, Amazon Prime does NOT save you $$$$. I had it for one yr (original rate), but dumped it the following yr. I figure I saved a couple hundred dollars by NOT joining again. Lotta places now charge zero shipping. Zappos --Amazon subsidiary-- ships fer free. OTOH, they want yer bought item back in perfect condition. IOW, do NOT wear those shoes out-of-doors. OTOH, New Balance give you "free shipping", 30 days return, and WILL allow you to wear those shoes, "out-of-doors". Sam Ash (music store) only charges shipping fer orders under "$10". Sure, Amazon will save $$$$ on driving to a large urban center (for me, that's a 200 mi round trip), but it also promotes spending lotsa $$$$. So, if you have lotsa money to blow, by all means, get Amazon Prime. ![]() nb For me, it so worth it to be able to find the things I need, some odd things that stores don't ever have in stock, and also their customer service is second to none as far as I'm concerned. The convenience is a wonderful thing. Cheri Very convenient, and especially so for odd items. And there is that great video streaming capability, too. |
