Anyone else use Amazon Prime? http://www.amazon.com/gp/prime/
I've setup subscriptions for all sorts of things, all my daily toiletries, cleaning supplies, cooking accessories.. I get a constant stream of packages from Amazon and I bet I'm saving thousands of dollars a year. 2 day shipping, instant movies, lots of Kindle books.. If they'd ship me food, I'd never have to go anywhere other than work and home again. :)
I'm not that bad (yet), but yea, I like Amazon Prime.
If I don't "need it right away", I get it from Amazon.

There's nothing like saving lots of money by spending lots more money.
I think.
But in answer to the original interrogative, yes, I am a prime account at Amazon.
Ha. I sincerely am buying things I would otherwise buy at the grocery/drug store. Soap, razors, etc. If I plan everything accordingly, I'll never have to go into another Walgreens as long as I live. :POriginally Posted by W3MIV

What!!?? No freebies at Costco? The Madhava agave nectar is a rip. Under $14 for Wholesome brand at Costco.

Yeah, not everything is a deal. You have to be smart about it. For example, I bought bought my soap that I typically pay $7.50 for at the grocery store or Walgreens, I got it for $6.25 on Amazon (free shipping) and it'll be here Monday. And I set it up to ship the same soap to me every two weeks until I tell it not to; I adjust the frequency depending on how often I need stuff(s).
It should be noted that I can't drive right now, so having stuff shipped to me is a major plus.
I buy unscented soap by the case, 48 per. Get free shipping cause it's always over $25. Case lasts me 4+ years.

Looks like the price is up. $1 each last time I bought last year.

Nope.
If i see something tempting i go sit in the corner and wait till the urge is gone, now that saves a lot of money!!

You're a mind reader Bill... I compare Amazon to Costco, but it's better. I really need to investigate the toiletries and sundries angle. Maybe Food? I started by buying music and movies as downloads. Who needs a Blue Ray when you can download HD files?
Then, I started buying tools and electronics from them. Panavise and accessories where very competitive. Those little "Class T" audio amps that I've posted about. Bluetooth headsets and AV cables too. I may buy a cell phone from them, if I don't go with Cricket.
It's a good thing, at least while our infrastructure lasts. :chin:
