Amazon Prime

Tell me about it. Is it worth $99/yr for movies and shows access? I don't care about the 2-day shipping or music.

I don't think it's worth it for shows only. I use the 2 day shipping a ton.

I use it for the shipping as well. I've only watched a few things on Amazon - Veronica Mars comes to mind.

I like the music

Do you plan to use the books? I think it's worth it for the lending library and free shipping. But I don't know if I'll renew next year.

I use it for books and shipping. I have never used the music or movie aspect, so I am not much help.

Hit or miss on the shows, haven't done the music yet, mostly shipping

I've gotten my money's worth this year on binge watching Awkward, but usually I just use it for the shipping. Last week I discovered that the music section isn't blocked at work (Pandora is), so in order to save data on my phone, I've been streaming music through there...which will also make it worth the $$ this year.

I used to not order from Amazon THAT much but since I have Prime, I buy SO MANY THINGS off of there. I buy a ton of non perishable goods (toiletries, household items, shelf stable items like protein powder and granola bars, etc.) and it saves me a ton. It's like Costco in that it has EVERYTHING but actually better because you have so many more choices of brands and sizes. I've bought shoes, electronics, bathroom remodel stuff, omg. SO MANY THINGS. It's one of hte first places I go to when I need anything and the fact I can have it in two days without running all over town, at the best price? I get stuff from Prime a few days a week on average.
So, you may not think you'd use it for shipping, but when you have it, you use it.

Slate (I think?) has a calculator (google it) that will tell you if Prime is worth it, based on your past Amazon history. But really, I'd take my last Target receipt and compare it to the Amazon pricing and see what you can save - will it add up to the $100 over a year?
