Ok. How can a service that costs you $79.99 a year save you money? Well, Amazon Prime is just that...PRIME!
My wife and I discussed this at length for some time. Because she is a college student right now, she got a great deal on signing up and trying it. You have to have a college email account to get the special price for the first year. But anyone gets the one month free trial.
In the end, we decided we buy enough stuff from Amazon, it was worth it to get FREE 2-DAY SHIPPING with our Prime Account. Not only that, we could begin to get groceries, household goods, etc. without having to pay shipping on small orders of things we needed: toilet paper, $0 to ship; cereal, $0 to ship; pasta, $0 to ship. And we don't have to get out and spend $4 a gallon to drive somewhere to get stuff--It comes straight to our door!
Heck, just with the amount of stuff we bought on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we got our stuff quick and shipped for free. Let's face it. I have said in every product review I've done that you get what you pay for. Amazon Prime is no different. On top of that, you get Amazon's outstanding customer service and return policy. We often order things we aren't sure about and if we don't like it, we simply return it. No questions asked. Amazon credits our account and we get what we actually want.
Here's what I recommend: Try Amazon Prime for 1 month for free, put part of your household's monthly budget on an Amazon e-Gift Card (see my other hubs on Amazon products), and try ordering things as you need them instead of getting out in your car. After a month, I'll think you'll extend your Amazon Prime account. Have fun saving money!
