Last month, I signed up for Amazon Prime. There are some wonderful benefits to a Prime membership, including streaming of shows and music, but there's one plus that has just blown me away... free two day shipping.
Middle child and youngest child are getting their book lists now. Son and I stopped by the book store with middle child the other day on our way home and checked out the prices on his textbooks. It was a phenomenally expensive list that came up to over $1,000 even with textbook rentals. One book alone cost $450. We then came home and checked out the list on Amazon. Not only were the books cheaper, he got free 2 day shipping. The books are heavy, so free shipping is a big deal! We ordered the books on Tuesday, and they were delivered to the house during the day on Weds. and Thurs. Very, very nice.
This isn't a "save tons of money" hint, but it is a way to cut down on expenses. If we weren't members of Amazon Prime, we could have chosen "Free Super Saver Shipping", which delivers items to your door within a week. Either way, by searching Amazon for textbooks, we saved $600 on the price of textbooks. I don't know about you, but I consider $600 to be BIG savings!
