NTTGPR: Amazon prime

ChuggingWater · September 2014

For the love of all that is good and holy...

I love amazon prime.

Do you? What do you order?

Lately it has been cloth diapers and just ordered a new BBT. We use it regularly for streaming, too.

KingLED · September 2014

Last thing I ordered was an SSD. But the streaming makes it totally worth it.

ChuggingWater · September 2014

SSD, @KingLED‌ ?

KingLED · September 2014

Solid state drive. For my computer.

Remylove1011 · September 2014

I also love it! Last thing I ordered were OPK's. I often get kindle books or stream movies!

ChuggingWater · September 2014

Ooooh.

Hai. I'm dumb.

nandaboob06 · September 2014

I think it was on this board but there was a thread on what people ordered and holy shit it made me add a bunch of things to my subscribe and save.

I get diapers, wipes, lotion, household cleaners, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, toilet paper, paper towels, shaving cream for dh, and am slowly starting to order Christmas and birthday gifts.

I don't have Amazon prime but I've heard it's amazing. Convince me that this is a necessity!

Free 2 day shipping and overnight delivery on most things for like $3-5 bucks. Instant video and music.

All the cool kids have it, @CFearsy‌.

@nandaboob06‌, but do you really break even or save in the long run when compared to buying paper products, household cleaners, and toiletries at Costco/BJ's?
--------------
The nearest costco or Sam's is like 2 hours from me, so not having to spend on gas just to get toilet paper in bulk makes it worth it for me.

With what I would've spent on shipping just for ds1's birthday gifts/decorations covered my membership cost.

Eta: I got 32 double rolls of toilet paper for 18.00 and at target it would've been $34.00.

Our house loves prime...our mailman probably wishes he didn't have FJ come to our door so often.

I buy most gifts on Amazon, only after price stalking them for a while as Amazon prices can really fluctuate especially around the holiday season.

If you put items in your cart you can leave them there and it will show you how much the item has increased or decreased...my cart typically has lots in it.

We love Amazon prime here. I get all my books and kindle books from there, and just about anything we buy comes off of Amazon with the exception of groceries. Most of the time the prices are the cheapest and who can argue with 2 day free shipping guaranteed or they give you your moneyback a lot of the time. I also love it for those times when I run low on OPK's and don't want to go to the store and get more as they are cheaper on Amazon. You can also use it to ship gifts and presents for free to family and friends so that I don't have to pay to have things sent to people. This helps especially since we don't live in the same state as all of our family.

Prime is the best subscription we have. I would honestly pay twice as much for it. We get toiletries, paper products, vitamins and snacks in bulk but we get the most value out of the free shipping. DH and I both work and it is so much more convenient than having to run to the store whenever we need something. We're another family that gets a package from amazon almost once a week. I buy almost every gift I give on Amazon, and not having to stand in line and drive during crazy Christmas shopping season alone is worth the cost of the subscription. It's totally a convenience thing for us, I don't price compare at all.

ChuggingWater · September 2014

I don't buy many toiletries on there. However, unless I stocked up on a sale, I get my downy scent boosters there.

It saves me from impulse buys at Walmart.

Sam's is 2+ hrs from me.

I told DH I want a Prime membership for Christmas, 'cause I'm romantic like that.

I like it!

mandy522 · September 2014

@ChuggingWater‌ are you using the downy with your cloth?

WestIsleFlower · September 2014

We buy some stuff on Amazon but haven't made the leap to Prime. I mainly buy Kindle books

icaughtfire · September 2014

We love prime because we order on Amazon a lot. A lot of things we buy (gifts, household items, toys/books/anything for DD, car parts, etc) we always check Amazon vs. whatever store we would buy it from & it's usually cheaper. Also, we bought the Amazon Fire thing for our TV so there's a lot of free shows you can stream if you have prime. AND if you have prime & use Kindle, you can "borrow" a book each month for free.

Amazon prime 4 lyfe.

BabyCowbell · September 2014

I love it because I hate going shopping for anything, and I think it saves me time when I can just open the amazon app, find what I want and then its there two days later. Like others have already said, I use it for gifts. We travel at Christmas every year, so we use prime to ship all of our gifts for the 15 people we buy for that we live out-of-state from and have it sent directly to where we are staying. I also use it to buy people birthday gifts and have it ship right to their house for free.

As for non-gifts, I get all my OPKs, HPTs, PNVs, shoes, books, new modem, coffee, jewelry, shower curtain, deodorant, razors, etc.

negritosmami · September 2014

oooh i love amazon prime. Anytime i know i need to buy something i check there first!!!the free shipping alone makes it worth it. Now that they have HBO shows i really find it to be an excellent deal!

silverandgray · September 2014

We stream a ton of stuff through Prime and price compare any big purchases we're considering. I will say, though, that Amazon is about to start charging sales tax in my state and I am NOT happy about it.

kelle017 · September 2014

My most recent orders have been a sleep sack, books, gifts and I currently have a bath spout cover and toy organizer in my cart.

kelle017 · September 2014

We also use the streaming for tv

Guise. I think you've turned me to the dark side. Christmas shopping on Amazon this year sounds freaking awesome!

How can you go wrong at Christmas. They will even wrap it if you want (for a couple of $). Win win!

I also love amazon because I can create a wish list, send it to family and friends for birthdays and Christmas and get exactly what I want! Or they give me gift cards towards what I want. Not a prime featre but another thing that makes amazon awesome!

I'm obsessed with Amazon Prime. I recently ordered the next generation of my running shoe, more espresso pods and peppermint sugar free syrup for my latte machine. The wackiest thing I bought was two twin sized mattresses.

It would be easier to tell you what I don't order. Fish oil for the dogs? yes. Paper towels? yes. New sneakers? yes. Pregnancy tests? definitely. Cheese? no. Sorry. I do not order cheese from Amazon. Any non-perishable items are fair game, though.
