The reason why I got sucked into Amazon Prime the other day was due to the fact I broke the glass for Nicole’s cafe froth thingy. Amazon had it for $7.99, and with Prime I already have it in my mitts. I just love the instant gratification of online shopping. So tonight Cafe Solis is back in business, man I’ve been jonesin’ for a cappuccino the past couple of nights!

It only took a matter of minutes to figure out that the $79 membership to Amazon Prime was a great deal for me. Not only does it gives you free 2nd day delivery, but if for some reason you need to have that new Britney Spears CD in your hands as early as tomorrow, then you can upgrade to overnight shipping for only $3.99. How great is that?!

What I bought today would have cost me $17.95 to ship 2nd day, and that’s with Group my items into as few shipments as possible. If you haven’t shopped on Amazon before, this means if one item takes 2-4 days to ship for availability reasons, then all of your items will take 2-4 days to ship. Depending on the size of the items, this can be a big savings to you in shipping fees. With Prime you can freely select I want my items faster, Ship them as they become available and still get 2nd day shipping for free on all items! You know what, I don’t care how many packages Amazon sends me, just as long as I get them as quick as possible.

As an added bonus, I’m able to share this membership with Nicole since we live at the same residence. It’s going to be hard not to shop though Amazon now that there’s no sales tax and free 2nd day shipping. Which is exactly what they want. Man this is going to be huge come Christmas time.
