[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 399177, member: 1233"] This fall was the first time I didn't have the amazon prime. Last year it saved us well over a hundred dollars (probably 3-4 times that much) because I was able to buy items on sale far cheaper than i could get them in our town. I also was not as dependent on Walmart (the only retailer of that type in our town and the main grocery here - our other 2 grocery stores have some real quality issues). Many of the books the kids wanted to read were vastly cheaper at amazon's prices than at other places, esp the only bookstore in our town - which has a fairly limited selection and s l o o o o o o o o w w w ordering procedures (IF they can order the book). It also meant that I did not have to drive over an hour to get certain items that are not sold in our town or are sold three or four times higher here. I only get certain groceries because so much of what we eat is not made by mix, etc... If you take a look at what you plan to purchase and what is available on Prime, you may find that it works out to be much cheaper to use Prime than the car. It ends up being less than $7 per month - 2 1/2 gallons of gas. While at 30mpg that is 75 miles, you still have to figure in your time, the hassle, the extras that you get to keep the kids cooperative or because you are hungry and your resistance is low. Just a though. [/QUOTE]
