I don’t really want to know. However, as i stood in line at Target for about 45 minutes I vowed to buy everything at Amazon in 2019. DH always says "what is your time worth?" Which is why Costco is pretty much the only place we will languish in line at. Another thing he likes to say is "i haven't got all day to wait for delivery" which is another reason to have Prime. 2-3 day delivery is far better than 5-7.

Like I said, it has been and still is no minimum purchase so you don’t have to get to the $25. To me it just seems like people are paying for what I’m getting for free and I don’t get it. i know, it doesn't make sense to some people. we have been had Prime almost from the get go so we are just used to paying it. like i said, we have spent that amount on dumber things so why not Prime? we have made use of the other perks so it's worth still it to us to have it. to me, it's no different than being a Disney Annual Passholder whether we go a lot that year, just once, or not at all. the money is not life changing so we spend it. ETA: back to the free shipping thing. Just because Amazon gives you free shipping, doesn't necessarily mean it's 2-3 day shipping. Prime shipping is not as fast as it used to be but it's still faster than 5-7 day (or even more) free shipping. Or 2 hour delivery. I save money because I’m not running to Target for labels, picking up assorted cute items, groceries, Starbucks, and other stuff I don’t need. I have the labels in 2 hours and that’s it. Plus, I use the photo storage for backup purposes, watch TV/movies, read at least one book, and listen to music. All included in the fee. I’m happy with what I get.

DH also loves prime for the books and music. I forgot about the 2 hour delivery. I just know that when my dog had an injured paw and I needed special bandages and a paw cover, I got them with same day delivery. I really didn't want to leave her while I ran around to different pet stores looking for the stuff when I could have it at my door in a matter of hours.

For free.

Not bad, only around 900.00. There's two others buying in the house and the total doesn't include their orders.

$4178.28 I was nearly on the nose for what I thought. I guessed between $4100 and $4300.
My college kids use it, too.
Just for fun I did 2017 and I guessed I was higher then and I was right. Not by much, but it was still $4590.53.
I buy online at Target for basics, but probably 90% of my online purchases are Amazon. Still. Ugh. With me losing child support next month (not expected, but because of illness), I am going to have to be MUCH, much better.

For free. That's because Amazon was running a 2 day shipping, no minimums as a holiday promotion to compete with Target and Wal-Mart. I'm pretty sure that promo is ending soon if it hasn't already. As with target and Wal-Mart. If you are happy with the free shipping you are getting now without Prime, then good for you. Amazon knows not every customer will buy Prime but they get your business anyway. Those of us with Prime find benefit in it beyond just free shipping. Millions of us aren't getting the wool pulled over our eyes by Amazon. Like I said, the Prime fee of $100+ is money I will happily toss to Amazon year after year.

Mine was just some jumbled spread sheet with no totals... It's probably best that way...

Well. I added mine up. I'm starting on an Amazon diet, stat. Thanks for making me giggle this morning. Exactly the reason I won't look. I don't want to go on a diet. LOL!

$5809 with 194 purchases. We use Amazon for everything - shoes, bras, workout clothes, household supplies, food, etc.
And I don't think anyone has to justify or feel guilty about paying for or using Prime. When my son was sick on the other side of the country this summer, I could send him medicine and gummy bears in less than 2 hours. We use the streaming service a lot, so much that we'll probably cancel Dish this year. And it means I don't have to plan ahead or aggregate orders - if my printer sends a notice that it's running low on blue ink, boom, I order and it's here in 2 days and I didn't have to go to Walmart or have it run out before I received the order. If I see that we're running low on the table sea salt that isn't available in local stores, I can order and it will be here before we run out. The convenience is well worth the $10/month in terms of giving me less things I need to organize or worry about in an already over-busy life.

2059.14 which includes orders from my MIL. So without her stuff probably closer to 1800.
Time to cut back.
