Yup

Love Prime and Amazon Mom's. We have 6 things that we subscribe to, we get 15% off all them because we subscribe to 5 or more items and they can be delivered in one package. We get 15% off diapers and kid stuff in subscribe and save because I am a member of Amazon Moms (free to join). Toss in Prime and we have diapers delivered every other month for a lot less then we can get them at Target and we don't have to go any where.

Worried abot forgetting that you subscribed to something and you don't need it any more? They send you an email reminder two weeks before delivery so you can cancel that particular order.

I do price shop. We don't buy baby food or formula through Amazon, it is the same price, many times less expensive, in the area. Babies R US actually has the best price when they are having sales. I don't buy anything from the grocery because it is normally more expensive then buying it at the store. I think Amazon manily uses associates to sell food items and they tend to be expensive.

We watch the free movies and shows (I caught up on Downton Abbey and a few other shows for free). Movies are about a dollar less to rent through Amazon then FIOS. We dropped Netflix because we found Amazon had what we needed and it came with Prime.

We were not able to find the toy we wanted for the baby at the stores around us, so I got it from Amazon. Delivered the next day even. No charge for the delivery.

I know stores like Amazon have their pros and cons. I get it. I also want to have extra money to set aside for college fund, take nice vacations, and the like. Diapers, wipes, and the like are expensive. Save me 15% and I am a happy camper.
