I'm debating Amazon Prime, and wanted to hear from other Canadians on whether it's useful/worth it.
Reasons I'm considering it:
- we're really rural (nearest grocery store/pharmacy is 25km away, and they're on the pricy side). I'll be on maternity leave for the next year, and my husband is likely to be unemployed for a few months, so us needing ANYTHING would mean a 50km round trip to the store... not ideal.
- 20% off diapers makes them cheaper than costco. And Costco is 50km away. And the toddler is still in diapers, never mind the newborn. (And we tried cloth... the arguments with Husband over laundry were not worth it. Disposable diapers are cheaper than therapy.) Just the % off on diapers would seem to pay off the Prime membership within a few months.
Oh the down side... it seems like paying for shopping, which I'm not a fan of. I don't want to buy more than we need/can afford (especially when our income will consist of maternity leave payments and unemployment payments....) because it's suddenly easier. I don't know if there are any other advantages to the Canadian Prime membership... most advantages (tv, etc) seem to be US-based.
Canadians - weigh in? Do you have it? Is it worth it? Cost/benefit analysis?
