If you can receive Prime, you can receive shipments from Target and Walmart even if you don't have a store on your island, because they use regular carriers to ship to your mailing address. |

Right, starting this summer those of us who are not Prime members will start paying a premium for many items at Whole Foods. I'm not keen on paying Amazon for the privilege of having them track my food purchases. In addition, we've noticed Amazon has been aggressively pruning away many items in our local Whole Foods, especially those from smaller companies, so that some things we used to buy regularly are no longer available.
This is all so annoying that we're actively looking for Whole Foods alternatives, even though they're the most convenient store for us. |

We'll keep Prime. We use the free shipping, I get a free book most months, we watch shows on Prime video (for no extra charge). I get a lot through Subscribe & Save. And, we get things through Amazon that I just can't get other places and, if you can, that are more expensive. Like others, I've noticed their prices going up and do comparison shop on other sites to be sure. I live in a major city and just don't have the time to run around to brick and mortar stores and hope they have what I need in stock. Many times, my DH wants a specialized type of drugstore product and the stores carry and different version from what he wants. But, Amazon will have exactly what he wants.

I use the ship to store a lot as I have two Targets and three Walmarts within five miles of my house. I also have a Costco and Trader Joe's close by, so some things are cheaper in the store than online.

My DH will keep our prime. He uses it so much, that they probably lose money on him in shipping costs alone! Personally, I'm not a shopper, and use it only when Jessica Smith releases her DVDs which is what? Once or twice a year - at most?

I did have a favorites list of stuff I would like to get, but didn't need right away, so I could add those when there was something I really did need to order. But I find with Prime now, I just get what I need and never really do dip into that "want" list.
