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 (extra) 2% back on the amazon credit card at Amazon and whole foods makes up for the cost every month for my family.
