It is very worth it to me: I order at least once a week.

I agree, it all depends on you. If you only used it once, why sign up for it again?

I use it all the time, and not just for books. I never watch the free videos. I use it over and over for many things. Last year, we had the flu and then that horrible intestinal virus going around SF, and pneumonia. Back to back. We were in constant need of Kleenex, TP and paper towels, but we couldn't go out of the house. I ordered several times through Amazon, every time we were getting low, it was here in two days.

I order gifts and surprises for the family all the time. All of them last year, since I was too sick to go shopping. I just ordered a new banana hanger, DH said our old one was falling apart. I ordered an expensive facial cleanser for my daughter because she has sensitive skin and I knew that one would work.

But the bottom line is based on how you want to shop.

It's pretty cool that you can find pretty much ANYTHING there and, often, for the best price too. I remember when Amazon was just media items - books, music, and movies.

I buy so much basic stuff there that I used to have to buy at the store. As it gets harder for me, this is just the way to purchase.

Something must be on fire somewhere around here the last several days because I couldn't even go outside and now, today, it's permeated my house so I can barely breathe. I was going to go to the store but can't even chance it.

Hello CB

I'm sorry to see it's been tough for you lately. It must be allergy season or something, I've noticed it around here.

There's almost nothing you can't find on Amazon, you're right!

I think, due to my asthma, these fires (wherever they are) are just giving me a lot of grief. It's been weird the last several days - it seems clear and the sky is blue every morning. Then, around mid to late afternoon, smoke settles in for the rest of the day/night. Then it's clear in the morning again.

But this morning was different. It looks fairly clear outside but my house is really smoky - well, not visually but it smells like smoke and is impeding my breathing. I haven't yet found out where this fire is. It's not as bad as when Mt St Helens blew, but, smoke-wise, it's the worst I've seen in a long time.

Ah, that's it! I get it, I have a hard time with smoke in the air, also. I hope you can find some relief. Do you have an inhaler, CB?

I use Advair twice a day. that definitely makes a huge difference!

I almost feel like I should open the windows to let the smoky smell OUT of the house, but it's smoky out there too. ha! No winning. It'll be ok. I just hope wherever these fires are that they are out soon.

I hope so, too

mr henny and I go through about three books a week. We order them from amazon and we also order our fancy feast for the three kitties. It is a very good saving. We also order testing supplies for my diabetes, frontline for the cats and many other things. We just got a new step ladder yesterday. It is great!
