Once upon a time we had to make lists and physically go to stores when we needed things. Sometimes we’d have to go to several stores or even shopping malls for what we needed.
Then one day, out of the heavens, came Amazon. For many of us, free shipping and access to exclusive shows and movies is enough reason to fork over the $14.99 per month to get Prime.
