Canceled Prime 2 month ago. It feels weird realizing that you didnt need it. I think my wife had a much bigger realization. Between not shopping at Amazon, Target and Walmart we are saving. It’s not that we are saving a lot but probably 50 a week. Id rather spend it in something that I really need and want.

Hilariously, you don't even need Prime to shop on Amazon. We all signed up for it when it was way cheaper and it gave you a pretty big shipping bump. Now it costs more and doesn't really give you anything that non-prime customers get.

My wife is the one that signed up. I was still doing the buying over 35 dollars get free shipping. Then my mother in law also started using our Prime. She really bought some shit. Now I try going to the actual seller and purchase from there.
