    I stopped buying from amazon a few years ago. Jeff Bezos, owner of amazon is a total left wing nut job. Once he bought the washington post to use as a weapon against those of us who disagree with him politically I decided my money was better spent elsewhere.
    I definitely don't like him. But I realized years ago that not buying from a company because of a CEOs liberal politics will leave you buying from Hobby Lobby and Chicfila. Nowhere else!

    I only shop at Hobby Lobby and Chick-Fil-A. What are you saying?
    I bet you have the best looking house on the block at Christmas. And I love Chick-fil-A, but f*#k those lines! That place is packed on a Tuesday at 2pm.

    Yeah at $119 a year at $9.92 each month plus $14.59 for a total of $24.51. Yeah, that is a real good deal, not!

    I have saved a ton with Prime, many times I'm in a store looking at something and then I look it up on Prime and find out I can have it delivered to my house 2 days later for free for a lot cheaper. Made 35 orders with Prime last year and already have 20 orders through Prime this year. Saves me a ton of money and time. $119 divided by 35 comes out to $3.40 per 2 day guaranteed shipment, I'll take that deal any day!

    I forgot to mention we watch several movies on Amazon Prime for free every year that cable, Netflix or others want to charge for. Just watched Spider-Man Homecoming over the weekend for free!

    It works for some who do a lot of purchasing for them. It would not work for me because very seldom do I purchase from them. Maybe once or twice a year.

    A few years ago I would get frustrated looking for what I wanted going from store to store wasting gas not finding what I was looking for. Then I joined Amazon Prime. Now I check there first and most of the time they have what I need, cheaper than anywhere else I can buy it, and have it at my door in 2 days or less. Kind of disappointed in this Prime Day sale though, not a lot of deals on anything I want.

    Apparently you have been hood winked. The charge of $119 is not for 35-36 months, 3 years. It is for 12 months, one year. We watch on demand shows on directtv for much less than that and given a bit of time we watch them for free! Darn the bad luck, for you! I see stupid people!

    35 orders, not months.

    I'm not certain I understand - the post says he made 35 orders last year.

    My family uses the mess out of Amazon prime. I have certainly saved $119 in shipping alone, not to mention the movie and TV shows. Heck I use the music app on my phone while cleaning/changing parts or maintenance on the gun stuff.

    I can't tell you how much $$ or hassle I've saved just by reading product reviews and Q&A and realizing that product wasn't going to work for me. Don't get that at WalMart. But I guess you could ask the Pall Mall Queen of the Trailerpark looking at the same product her opinion.

    I order quite a bit from them and while the free shipping is nice, it's the Prime video that makes it worthwhile for me. I watch alot of the documentaries, mostly WWII related, and their original shows like Bosch and Man in the High Castle are quite good IMO. They've got a new series called "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" coming out next month that looks interesting too.
