I've never had one nor would I even consider it.

After canceling Prime, I’ve been able to reevaluate the necessity of that ultra-fast, always-free shipping and have found it mostly unneeded. Amazon still ships free when your cart is above $35, albeit a few days slower. After leaving Prime, I’ve been happy to wait. The products still arrive relatively fast, and the selection is still excellent. I’m also less inclined to make impulse purchases. If the tech giants can have their years of cost-efficiency, I guess I can too.

I really need to cancel my membership. Most things I really want can be bought on Ebay open-box for cheaper. Any daily essentials I just go to Sam's Club or Aldi.
