It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription - Lemmy.World

Is this satire?
I think most people think you NEED the Prime subscription to use Amazon and that’s false.
Though I’ve never used it myself, my understanding is that a subscription is actually less expensive than paying the shipping directly for lots of things.
You can get free shipping without the subscription if you spend over $35.
Amazon has free shipping on almost everything if you spend over $35 on the order. If I need to increase how much I’m spending I add some hand soap or some kind of dry grocery item.
Unfortunately the 5% back at whole foods makes up for the cost every month for produce and vegetarian substitutes my family eats.
I think so. I don’t even use Amazon.
It’s pretty wild how deeply some people integrate products into their lives.
