Amazon Prime WTF? Price increase.

[Blaze]

It started years ago at $79 a yr, then they bumped it up to $99 a yr. Then just a bit ago I got an email that it will be $119 in July when it renews! That's $40 in just a few years and personally I don't see any pluses for me. They better add to the free movie content with stuff that's good and new!!!

Rawrrrrr, is not happee but that. I'm still salty over having to pay state tax on my purchases now.

I can say this although, it is nice to have your account set to business if you can prove it, it's a simple process. Because anytime you call in they have to transfer you to business customer service. You always get to speak with someone who speaks perfect English and they are in the U.S. Not fond of the bland UI, but being able to have a conversation that is understandable is amazing.

I saw that. I'll be re-evaluating the value proposition of Amazon Prime for sure.

I dropped mine a few years back. I just never bought enough there to warrant the benefits of the free two day shipping, and most of the video content I wanted to stream was not free on amazon anyway.

Still cheaper than cable or sat, no junk channels or commercials. Then we have the option of adding premium channels for one month subscriptions and occasionally great finds in warehouse deals or the unicorn find. I will keep it, but just not happy bout it. My needs are relatively simple these days so I don't purchase much. It is getting harder to find great deals, at least for the things I look for.

On many things, if you check, you'll find that the price of things which can also be found at Target, and sometimes Walmart, aren't that far off of Amazon. I've found several items in the last two months that Target and Walmart were within pennies of each other. I got a Target Red Card, and I get 5% off of everything at Target. Often that means cheapest at Target.

My shopping is very methodical, each store I only get certain things. I try not to shop out of my way with the exception of Sprouts. It's amazing at how much money you don't spend if you don't use a shopping cart, arm/hand carrying only. Personally for the things I shop for are more expensive at Target. I've always thought that. I don't cook processed foods, they taste yucky to me. I use bleach and vinegar to clean along with Dawn. I hate shopping for the most part. If I can stay in of doors and have it delivered for as much as it would cost to purchase local,,, YaY. I wonder what the quality of the produce is for the markets that have that option? I only shop at Sprouts since shelf and fridge life beats Reasors. Plus the food actually tastes like it's suppose to.

I guess I’m lucky, I always get my Prime stuff within two days. Many times one day. Occasionally, with books and a few things same day.

There's a Freudian slip!
