Two things have now made me rethink my paid memberships. First, got an email from Amazon today about the next increase in my Prime membership. It's going up $20 per year, I had been giving thought to canceling prior to today. The selections on Prime streaming are getting more dated. Giving up the free shipping can be hurtful to some but has it saved me enough to justify keeping Prime? I watch more NetFlix than any. I usually don't turn on the TV until 7 or 8 PM.
Maybe it will motivate me to do my shopping at WalMart, BestBuy or Target instead of the perceived convenience that Amazon brings to the table. Just means leaving the house a little more often. Second my equal pay for my utilities is going up 15% this year. Gas is now over $4 a gal & will probably rise again soon. Insurance has risen, both auto & health. What next? I guess we can blame the pandemic & price gouging. Hopefully I may save money without the impulse buys I make.
