I love Amazon Prime. I don't worry about ordering a $5 potato peeler. And when I ship stuff out into the wilderness, it's free! I bought a grill, where shipping was calculated at $50, and got it shipped, in 2 days (actually, usually takes 1 day to my home outside Chicago, and 3-4 days to get to the mountains in Idaho). That is the difference between free super saver shipping and Prime. Prime goes out immediately. Really helps when you are really waiting for something (new kindle). I think I would probably do it even if we didn't need cheap and quick shipping to Idaho. Instead of getting in the car and driving 10 minutes to Bed, Bath & Beyond to get a potato peeler, I can order one at 10 pm, and it will be there in a couple days, with no tax. I also use one-day shipping on occasion-it is only $3.99 when you are a member of Prime.
