If I need just one item, I look there to see what the best deal is, but I limit my search to only Prime deals. This takes a lot of the work out for me, making the transaction even faster. It doesn't matter if the item is only $1, $5 or $7, I still get FREE 2 day shipping. No having to put more things in my cart that I don't really need just to make the free shipping limit. THAT, my friend, is why I buy so much there! FREE shipping, and 2 day shipping at that! You just can't beat it! I've gone and SPOILED myself.
I started the membership with the free 30 day trial. We were moving, and there was nowhere to put my new 21 speed bike. (that I also bought on Amazon, but it had free shipping anyway) So, we had 4 days before we moved, and my bike wasn't fitting into any of the pods we ordered. Off to Amazon I went, to see about a bike rack for the car. I found one, and I could get it in 2 days with Amazon Prime, so I decided what better time to try it out. It arrived within the 2 days, thank goodness! When the 30 days was up, I went ahead and splurged on the membership. It's been a whole different world ever since. It opened my eyes to the world of 2 day free shipping, and better prices than I can get the items I need locally or on other sites.
People ask what in the world do I buy there, that I can't buy elsewhere cheaper. Well, I am very picky about companies I buy supplements and health items from. So, I comparison shop the items I normally buy from other sites, and see what Amazon has them for. Whoever is cheaper gets my business, because every penny counts. I have been so pleasantly surprised when Amazon is cheaper (which more often than not it is!). Sometimes A LOT cheaper.
So, here is a short sample of items I get from Amazon:
*Organic scent free household cleaners
*Vitamins, supplements, herbs, homeopathics
*Personal Care items
*Gifts
*Home and Garden items
*Foods, spices, teas
*Kitchen tools/gadgets
*Unique items you can't find locally
*Diabetic supplies for my brother and dad (they are cheaper on Amazon! Even after Medicare prices at Walmart!!! Seriously!)
*Pet supplies, toys, food, supplements, shampoo etc
*Exercise equipment
*FREE or next to FREE items for doing reviews!!!!!!!!!!! (Thanks to the FREE shipping!)
Did you see the last line? FREE or next to FREE items for doing reviews? YES! I'm serious! The best part is, MANY of the things I do reviews for, are things I actually have on my wish list or need anyway! Some are just plain cool items that would make great gifts, or things that I want that I would never buy for myself.
Watch for the next post, cause I am going to tell you how to do this too! THIS is the advantage the post is leading to.
Amazon Prime also has other benefits, such as:
*unlimited ad-free access to over a million songs with Amazon Prime Music
*unlimited streaming of movies and videos with Amazon Prime Instant Video
*unlimited storage for photos in Amazon Cloud Drive

If you have an Amazon Prime membership, you are already in the best position you can be for what I will be sharing with you! If you haven't joined Amazon Prime yet, but have thought about it, I HIGHLY recommend you do, and give it a try, and see how often you use it during your free trial period. Especially, once I tell you how to get some items for FREE or nearly free, or at the very least, a HUGE discount!
