I have had Prime for a few years now. I have saved a lot on shipping. My sons all live in different states and the free shipping saves me a lot. I have 2 painful busted up kness and love being able to shop for whatever I want and having it delivered quickly.

I have a Roku stick that works great and a blue ray that works like the Roku.

I liek the free movies when we watch one and occasionally pay for a new one that we really want to see!

This morning Amazon Prime, paid for itself again.

We have a Cuisinart auto grind coffee with the ever lasting metal thermo pot.

About once a year without warning, the various washable inside parts and thermo lid stop working without warning and we have wet coffee on the countertop.

That happened this morning, and I was able to minimize the spillage.

I had the replacement parts from Amazon on hand and replaced them, and started a new pot, which worked with no problem.

After the first cup worked on my old mind, I fired up my chromebook and reordered the parts x 2 on Prime and ordered some tea our picky DIL loves for part of her Christmas present. The order will be here in two days with no charge. No shopping or dealing with locals, who are a PIA to deal with, usually without the inventory and having to pay outrageous shipping and service charges.

One of our teenage grandkids asks for an Amazon gift card, for birthdays/Christmas, and she will order stuff via her parents Prime and pay for it with her Amazon gift card. All of our grandkids have their own shipping addresses via Amazon as well as their parents for birthdays and specials from us.

One of our adult sons is a bike addict and rides thousands of miles per year. His birthday and Christmas requests are often special biking gear, and over 90% of the time, we can get them via prime at a great price plus free shipping.

Another son is a bowhunter and excellent fly fisher. Between Amazon and Cabela’s, we find what he wants for birthdays and Christmas.

My Christmas/birthday presents are like our granddaughter’s, Amazon Gift Cards.

Last but not least, I have the Kindle Cloud App on my MS10 laptop, Chromebook and Acer tablet. I have Trump’s new book and a couple of his older books on them. I prefer Kindle for reference and research. We ordered our Tracfone Android phones Via Prime, got a great deal, including some additional time at a great price. I will update/replace mine with the Christmas Amazon cards without some wise A$$ clerk looking down on me for buying a Tracfone/Android instead of an expensive I phone, which I don’t need nor want.
