Umm, looking into it but I'm not sure the convenience would be worth the additional money. I will go out of my way and pay more to avoid Wal-Mart. I'd prefer going to Publix or Kroger as I only have to stand in line for 10 minutes or less.

I'd still have to go to the store as I can't buy my meat and perishable items via the prime pantry.

    When the kids were little I used to get all sorts of things from Diaper.com. It was worth every red cent.

    Yeah, only buying dry goods is a deal breaker for me. I'd rather just get grocery delivery through Safeway or something.

    I order my oatmeal from Amazon. It ships every 3-months automatically -- just about when I run out. I utilize everything I can from that $79/year membership.

    my husband wanted to do it, but it isn't worth it to me. If the products were less expensive and it made up the $6 shipping, them maybe, but I would still have to go to the store for perishables....and i would rather go and get the items right away and not wait 2 days for them to be shipped.

    Amazon Prime is free shipping on Prime eligible items.

    I tried it out.... Some of the items were actually cheaper than in the stores, and having it delivered to your door was pretty nice, but a good number of items (at least for stuff I shop for) were considerably more expensive than in the stores, or they didn't carry what I was looking for.

    They do have a coupon center, and those coupons basically paid for my shipping cost.

    Overall, not impressed.

    I haven't used prime pantry, but i use subscribe and save for some things. It makes for easier and fewer shopping trips. Its great for things like tp and diapers which are bulky, and not running out is a plus. If you get 5 things in a month, the 20% off makes a better deal than Wal-Mart even.
