Amazon Prime – Great resource if you order several times a year

I discovered Amazon Prime, back in 2006 and find it to be a great way to save time, money and make it easy to order products. If you order several products a year, you can get free 2 day shipping and overnight shipping on most items for $3.99. It costs $79 per year but you can easily save that after several shipments.

If you order books, movies, hardware, or software I would recommend taking a look at the program.
