Prime Membership costs you money every year.

I use both. There are a lot of "non grocery" items on amazon that I may not need immediately that are cheaper than local places.

I still like being able to go to the store and buy food. I'll gladly pay $8/month to avoid walmart trash.

While this is economical now, I am not sure it will be long term. Amazon purchases will eventually be taxed like everything else. Rather than costing you $1 for convenience it will cost $7-$10 depending on your local sales tax rate.

I have been doing Amazon S&S for almost a year. I recently did an analysis comparing the S&S price (with 20% discount) to the price on Wal-Mart's website. I estimated my annual use of the products and determined I save $400/year ($300 after $100 Prime membership) using Amazon over Wal-Mart. I have a wife and no kids so savings could be significant for people with kids.
