Think you’re paying $139 for Amazon Prime? Think again

Are you paying too much for Prime?

Open/download audio

What you think costs $139 a year could actually be over $300 once hidden fees and subscriptions are added. Here’s how to check your real Amazon Prime costs and start saving money today.

📦 Shipping crackdown: Amazon’s dialing back some Prime benefits; you’re not allowed to share your Prime free shipping with people unless you live together. From Oct. 1, outsiders must pony up a discounted $14.99/year for the first year, then $14.99/month. Amazon Family still works, but only if everyone’s under the same roof. No more long-distance toothpaste subsidies.

🛒 Don’t fall for bulk deals: When you buy a pack of something, always check the unit price (cost ÷ number of items). Sometimes multipacks end up pricier than singles. On Amazon, for example, they do the math for you and show it in tiny brackets next to the sale price.

Upgrade your daily glow-up

💦 My pick: Cordless water flosser (54% off)

Flossing is a chore … this makes it fun. Compact, cordless and travel-ready, it won’t hog your countertop space.

🧼 Silicone body scrubber (42% off): Bacteria love loofahs. Swap yours for soft bristles that gently exfoliate and last way longer.

☁️ Cotton hand towels (36% off, six-pack): So fluffy and soft, you’ll swear you’re staying at a fancy hotel.

💚 Face roller & Gua Sha (20% off): Roll away puffiness and redness, and look like you actually got eight hours of sleep.

🪮 Detangler hairbrush (20% off): Stop ripping your hair out. Glide through knots, wet or dry, curly or straight.

✨ Little luxuries, big difference: From self-care staples to gift-worthy finds, my Amazon shop has plenty more goodies waiting.

📼 Own it? Not really: A new lawsuit says Amazon’s “Buy” button on video downloads is misleading, because what you’re really buying is a long-term rental they can take back anytime. A new California law backs the claim. So if your “purchased” movie vanishes next week, well, that’s legal. Somewhere, your dusty DVD collection is cackling. 

Back to the office

🖨️ My pick: Polono portable printer (62% off)

Print anywhere, without ink drama. Just connect it to your phone or laptop, and boom, crisp 8.5” x 11” docs on the go.
