Amazon Prime Customers 24 hour Sale Starts Tonight at Midnight
Wonder what tools will be on sale?
I'm not a Prime Member so I will be interested to see what everyone gets.
I have my eye on some things at Walmart.com. But they don't do tools like Amazon.

For those that are thinking about becoming amazon prime members, We really like it. Highly recommend it.
We use amazon for a lot of things.

I clicked and clicked and could never get it to tell me what it costs to actually become an Amazon Prime member. It only would direct me to the 30 day free trial. It seemed very scammy, so I diddn't do it. If you can't just say, "Here is how much it will cost..." then I am suspicious.
Hi Malcolm,
If I remember correctly, an amazon prime membership is about $60 to $70 per year. We figured we can save that much on shipping only which I'm sure we have.

EDIT - I just looked it up, it's $100 per year. It may have been less when we originally became members.

Malcolm,
As they said the cost of a Prime membership is $99 but....it includes free 2 day shipping and other benefits. My wife found this out just recently and there are a lot of online retailers that will miss her business because she found that out.

So much to learn, so little time.....
The other nice part of Prime is it includes streaming services for a number of movies and TV shows. Not that anyone here has the time to watch anything.
Not sure if the free shipping applies to the Virgin Islands though - you'd want to triple check that!
Here is a link to an article that provides some idea of what will be on sale.

Mark - I got nuttin but time on my [one good] hand. A pretty good service, actually.
The 2-day free shipping is very seductive - easy to point and click. And $99 is < $2 per week.
Here is the "save the planet" example of the Law of Unintended COnsequences: With Prime, I get what I need, and it is, all in, less costly than driving to a place to get it. Plus - no carbon emissions on the vehicle, and no time invested on my part.
But - the corrugated manufacturers love it, and the volume of waste from packaging, goes through the roof. I understand the recycling bit on the cardboard, but the fact of the matter - per summit I just read in NYT or WaPost - is that there is an overabundance of cardboard recyclables, the prices are dirt cheap, China's was the big consumer, but their economy is slowing down, demand is waaaaay down......so the recycle thing is not paying off.........
