Depending on how close the warehouse is, it could be worth it for the gas. For me, its at least 25 cents cheaper per gallon than other places.

I pay for $120 executive membership and got a check back for $250 last year so I spend a ton at Costco (do the bulk of my grocery shopping there).

Yeah, when I used to live at home there was a BJ's Wholesale Club 5 minutes from my house and the savings on gas alone was worth the membership.

I guess.

But, on IMDB:

Homecoming is rated 7.5/10
Sneaky Pete is 8.1
Bosh is 8.5
The Boys is 8.7
Maisel is 8.7

So, it sounds like "most people" disagree with you.

Whut about invincible?

and Lord of the rangs, powow of the rangz!?

Anyone else here want to keep Prime because they have the credit card and get 5% cash back from it if you have Prime?

You also have to add in the value of using it as a streaming service.

We're taking that into account.. it's just that it adds almost zero value. Their library isn't good and their originals certainly aren't. Homecoming was decent but that's pretty much it so far.

Record profits

But Amazon needs to increase prices next reasons.

This.

Another price increase when they no longer reliably deliver Prime items in two days? So they want us to pay even more even though they fail to provide the service being paid for?

It's like the inflation doesn't even match the price hike lmao, it's basically shareholder wanting more money for free and no extra service upgrades lol
