Actually Amazon Prime is giving it away, IF you make use of what's
offered... naturally if you don't buy anything much than it's a waste.

It *alway's* cost's less to shop from your PC than to waste a day
driving store to store to store... I have more important things to do
with my time, gas money, wear n' tear on my vehicle, not to mention
the risks inherent to driving, and Amazon's prices are considerably
lower than most brick n' mortars. I hate going to the maul... I enjoy
having my purchases delivered right to my door. And in all the years
I['ve been buying all kinds of stuff from Amazon onlyone time did I
need return something, and without any effort or expense on my part,
they immediately email a shipping label while I'm on the phone and
arrange for UPS to pick up... the only item I ever had to return was a
large pot (20 qt ss brazier) that arrived without its lid, and after
checking I was told they had no more lids for that pot.
