I was thinking as I haven\u2019t renewed my Amazon Prime membership yet because I figure I would renew it when I actually need it next. That way I would technically be maximizing my annual membership as opposed to signing up and not using it for who knows how long. I was then thinking since the price was $79 did I actually make good use of that membership for the year I had it? After thinking about it I think money wise I actually didn\u2019t really save much. It really was more for the convenience of the service.<\/p>\n
So it made me wonder when it comes to any kind of membership even like say a Costco card do you actually track whether or not you saved money or just assume you did? I am inclined to say most of us don\u2019t and it makes me wonder if we lose a lot of money this way. Like if you think about it $79 is a lot if all I did was buy things like electronics from time to time. It\u2019s almost like I would have to buy more than normal to make up the cost and at the same time if I was normally willing to wait for a standard shipping then I didn\u2019t really save anything.<\/p>\n
Making you buy more than you normally do just to get your money\u2019s worth is usually not a good idea of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
