When I signed up for Amazon Prime several years ago, it was to save money on all of the shipping costs. In the first year, I saved my Amazon Prime membership fee at least three times over by all the fast and free shipping I used. However, the Amazon Prime membership has expanded to offering you so many other savings that I thought I would share information with you on the 17 Amazon Prime Benefits that you didn’t know existed…or at least I didn’t know.

Limited Time
My sister is very good at finding and clipping coupons. I love shopping with her as she always something that will save me money. However, that is not something that I am good at. It takes time to plan and find savings. I was working full-time, farming with my husband, was going to school part-time, and somehow had to take care of the family, clean house, do laundry, and cook meals. Therefore, I rarely have time to even go to the store to get what we need. Amazon was a great way to get the things we need delivered right to us and with the free shipping on most items, I felt like I was being prudent about saving money too.

Here are some other saving ideas for you.
I didn’t know about some of these and I’ve been a Prime member for over 5 years. I’m going to use Amazon Photos to back up stuff. I might also need the housecleaning at some point. LOL
I have also been an Amazon Prime member for a number of years and had not known about these deals. Glad you found this information useful. I know…housecleaning…would be so grand.
I love Amazon. We have a prime membership with Amazon Mexico because we live in Mexico, but it isn’t as great as the US site. Oh well, we take what we can get here 😉 Thanks for the info!
It is truly amazing the reach that Amazon has. Glad you can still get some deals. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
