Prime Shout Out


Once again, I'm very thankful for the services of Amazon Prime. Yes, it costs $75 a year, but after that you get free two-day shipping on nearly all the items they have on their site.

Besides picking up tons of books (and easily being able to get "one more" copy if I accidentally bought too few), I've been able to get everything from soccer goals to flag belts to a new projector bulb today. I suppose if you live in a big city with lots of big retailers you might not need such a service. For someone like me who makes a lot of random online purchases, it more than pays for itself in a very short time. And I nearly always find the best prices on Amazon.com anyway!

Three cheers to you Amazon Prime, your reliable service gives me something I don't have to worry about. And as Forrest Gump says, "That's good! One less thing."

I have been thinking about this, maybe I need to look into it.
