I would like to make the most out of my prime account. I do not use any of the Prime perks/services except for the shopping. What types of things should I purchase to make the most out of my account? I believe Prime Pantry has shipping costs. So far what I've seen is that it makes more sense just to shop at Walmart.

Does the OT have tips/tricks that make shopping on Amazon Prime more valuable?

If you can wait a few months, you can watch Thursday night football on Prime.

You can set up all toiletries like paper towels and toilet paper auto delivered monthly, every two weeks, whatever.

I buy damn near everything on prime. I just bought some shoes a couple of minutes ago. Prime had them for $30 cheaper than everyone. That happens a lot with shoes for some reason

You caught Prime on the downside. It's shite compared to what it was just 3-4 years ago

Prime video and music is worth it alone.

Just a few purchases a year can pay for it as well

Prime video
Is pretty much crap especially compared to Netflix.

It's up to $119. What would be average shipping cost, like $4. So you need to make about 30 purchases a year. 2-3 a month.

2-day shipping used to be awesome. 2 days no matter what. Order it on Friday and it gets there on Sunday. By God. Now, you order it too late on Thursday and it's gonna take nigh on a week. And they started added taxes AFTER the listed price on some items. And it seems there's just less of a selection of what qualifies for Prime free shipping. Prices used to be cheaper than eBay. Now if it's on eBay, your Amazon price is gonna be slightly higher than the average Buy It Nows.

I still have Prime. Probably my last year. It's losing all that little extra that made it so great

$4 average shipping huh? What kinda small, light, cheap shite do you buy? For instance, had a girl leave her makeup bag in my car a few weeks ago before she flew home. Shipped it to her 2 day. $37. For a makeup bag that maybe weighed a pound.

I have Prime, so I don't worry about that. That's about average shipping cost on eBay for video games and electronics I buy that don't have "free shipping"

The responses in these threads are always about using Prime to buy regular, everyday items

If you're buying large heavy things that costs a lot of money to ship, and Amazon has it on Prime, they've obviously already factored shipping into sticker cost.

With prime streaming I don’t even consider product shipping when justifying the cost.

My wife's Christmas purchases alone cover the shipping costs and we buy a lot of other stuff throughout the year as well. We also use their streaming service.
