I'm not a brainwashed idiot. Prime saves me money and I'm getting more than enough value out of my admission price for it. I'll drop it as soon as I can't say that anymore. People need to stop implying that Prime members are somehow being tricked into paying for something that has no real value.

Once you get into the habit of checking first on Amazon when you need to buy something ... anything ... Prime free shipping more than pays for itself, especially in eliminating trips to the mall. For me, having a 20 pound bag of cat litter delivered to my door every 2 weeks is more than worth the fee. Free Sunday delivery was a pleasant surprise.

And now, I find I live in the new "Same Day Delivery" zone -- haven't explored what is available yet ... but this is getting very close to 'instant gratification.'
