I mostly watch stuff on Netflix (and at least some Prime content has commercials, which is annoying given you're already paying for it), so I'm not sure I'd really miss it.

It’s not even just the shipping for me. So much everyday stuff is just way cheaper on there. I view it like Costco. You are losing money by not paying the membership to shop there. Of course this does probably vary based on purchasing needs.

Yeah, I just need to shop with it logged off in another browser and after a bit either come to the conclusion that, hell yeah it's worth it... or, WTF I'm paying for. Not saying it IS dumb to pay for it, but it seemed like such a great deal back when it was $99/month, and +$40/month later and years of letting it renew automatically, have just thought I should dig into it. And I do use it fairly often, because I hate shopping in stores.

Costco is awesome... hell, I bought flooring from them once and not only had no-questions-asked returns on the extra, but noticed it was cheaper a few weeks later and they refunded the difference. Much less of course the food and all the other shit in the store.
