Short answer, YES. I save thousands of dollars in shipping costs each year, plus family watches movies.

How many orders do you place? How much stuff, total? How much stuff do you need to buy to rack up thousands in shipping costs?

plus family watches movies

I buy a moderate amount of stuff from Amazon, maybe enough to break even at the new rate, but probably not.

But I consume zero digital content over Prime. I don't watch TV. And there's way too much free video content to bother with whatever Prime has to offer.

We rarely do b & m anymore, even for shoes and clothes. With b & m, you’re limited to whatever they happen to have on display at that moment. Retailers want a lot of money for shipping.

I will buy my better clothes from online retailers because I can always make the minimum to get free shipping, unfortunately.

But, everything else comes from amazon. I just ordered freakin hand towels, they have a better selection than stores.

So, yeah. We’ll suck it up and pay for Prime again. They’ve got us.

“Short answer, YES.”

That’s us. We order quite a bit on Amazon and the free shipping is great. Most of our TV viewing nowadays is thru Prime. Regular TV sucks. We’ll stick with Prime at $119 for now, but any higher might be burdensome.
