You’re already paying for shipping - just upfront and once a year. My reasoning when I quit was that I could likely add things to get to the free shipping or just pay for shipping a few times and still save money.

That’s exactly what I am doing. Bought something from them (ugh) 3 times this year. All something my brick and mortar store either pulled from inventory and doesnt sell anymore, more expensive elsewhere or just damn convenience since it’s bigger at the store and thus cumbersome to transport or too expensive or both.

I stopped my auto renew for next year, we don’t order things like we used to so at this point we probably pay more on the yearly contract than we would have on shipping. Plus best buy Costco and Walmart have decent webstores too so we’ll probably diversify a little

a good way to balance if it’s worth it, look at your order history, and look at delivery costs of items without prime, and then divide the yearly price of prime by the delivery cost, then again by 12.

For example, if the average shipping cost is 7$, that’s roughly 1.6 orders small (read under 35$) a month, if you order less than that it might not be worth keeping prime.
