Friday Favorite: Amazon Prime

By 8 Comments

Friday Favorites is another almost weekly feature here at Simply Budgeted. The whole point of this feature is to share some of our favorite finds. Anything is game. Food. Cleaning supplies. Kid stuff. Garden favorites. Recipes. Anything that I really like and want to randomly post about.

Reminder/Disclaimer/Whatever: Everything in Friday Favorites is something that we use and bought on our own.

 

Description …

  • Free Two Day Shipping
  • Instant Streaming of movies and TV shows
  • Instant access to thousands of Kindle Books

Our Thoughts …

I decided this was today’s Friday Favorite when someone asked if it was easy to cancel Amazon Prime after the trial. My reply was yes, but you won’t. It is one click to cancel if you want to know but you won’t cancel if you are like us. I ended up getting Amazon Prime membership two years ago and there is no going back. I love it. This is part of my Budget of Convenience. It is worth the fee to cover the shipping for the year and you bet I use my fair share (plus other people’s!) One of my favorite purchases recently was for a Christmas gift my sister gave us. She gave us a plate that had the kids hand prints on it. I didn’t even think about going to Walmart or Target, I just went on Amazon and found a plate hanger I could use and two days later my $3 plate holder was at my door. Love.

We haven’t even explored the streaming movies and books that are part of Amazon Prime … maybe one day.

Do you have Amazon Prime membership? What is your favorite feature of it? Leave us a comment and let us know!

  1. Oh man, I LOVE my Prime membership! I had the Amazon Mom membership, but when it expired I didn’t think twice about paying the $79 for the Prime membership! The free shipping pays for it in no time.

  2. I too love Amazon Prime. I purchased it for a year, then received a free year through the Amazon Mom program. I’ve let it lapse for now, because I qualify for free super saver shipping 95% of the time. I have to wait a little longer for my items, but I’m usually not in a rush anyways.

  3. I just signed up for Amazon Prime a couple of weeks ago and LOVE it. Since then I’ve placed like 6 orders that were all here in two days or less.
