    I don’t even have an Amazon account anymore. If I need something, I just give the money to a friend and have them order it for me. Definitely saves me money because I don’t want to go through the hassle of doing that for most things.

      This is awesome. Amazon is as unscrupulous as a drug dealer, so you need a “connection” to deal with Amazon.

        To the best of my knowledge, my friend does not have Prime, but I am not totally sure on that. I just don’t have an Amazon account at all.
