return2ozmaIt’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription
nocturneSince they added commercials to prime video we have been considering dropping prime. Video was really the only thing keeping us lately.
I can never find anything to watch on Prime Video. My subscription is any to renew in September and I’m about to turn off auto renew. I’ll still order my regular things from Amazon but now I’ll wait until my cart has $35+ in it for free shipping.
NoneYaI was the opposite. Never used the video but wanted it for the shipping advantages. I canceled because of the ads out of principle even though I didn’t use the videos.
I’ve found that I don’t use the shipping as much as I used to and don’t need to.
kismatticWas one of the people who dropped it after the commercials were added. Started using our library instead and haven’t really missed the video streaming. I’ll log in via a browser every so often and get offered a free month or week of prime and immediately cancel. Was able to access prime day deals without paying for anything.
I use Kanopy through my library for free streaming. They have quite a bit of a selection too! Also there’s Freegal music streaming, like Spotify, but free through the library.
Hey OP I did not know we had a frugal community. Thank you for your post now I can post there. …no sarcasm.
Enjoy!
What is Video? Prime member asking…
SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLEAmazon Prime is also a video streaming service like Netflix. It is included with your Prime shipping subscription but they recently started showing ads.
I had been considering getting rid of prime. The commercials were the last straw. I haven’t had it for 3 months now and haven’t cared at all.
That’s when I dropped prime. It’s been just fine.
