    Thanks for the reminder to cancel Disney+ and HBO Max - I almost forgot! ;)

    Still have Peacock, because that’s comped through my mobile provider.

    My wife does Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu. I had Prime but realized I only ever used it for free shipping, which I can get anyway by bundling my orders and setting ship dates.

      Bundling orders and set ship dates - what? This is something I don’t know about.

        Even without Prime, you can get free shipping if you spend over a certain amount.

        So instead of placing multiple small orders and paying shipping, I’ll wait until the combined dollar value qualifies for free shipping.

        Also on check out, you can specify a delivery date with free shipping.

          And then everything comes in separate packages with different parcel services anyway… Amazon really has become shit.
