I bought an Instant Pot. I wanted a 50 inch TV, but the Prime deal wasn't as good as what they have at WalMart currently.
I bought one for my wife for Valentine's Day. It's paid for itself several times over. She absolutely loves it. She said it's nice not having to defrost chicken, beef, or whatever because the instant pot does it quickly and everything still tastes good. She made a pot roast in it last night that was very good and it only took something like 35 or 40 minutes from frozen to done.

I like hearing this. Looking forward to making good food fast!

Did all the Prime shoppers here spend the $119.99 to use this service? I don't know how I feel about a two-tier shopping website; as the unwashed masses who cannot afford to pay, or who do not want to pay, miss out on the exclusives that are available for just the members. If you compare it with Price-Costco it is one or the other (pay to play or you can't shop here), not both. I'll be watching to see how it plays out. From what I've read there are a lot of perks associated with being a member (media downloads for example). Bring back Marshall-Wells!

Prime membership comes with several privileges. They have movies and original tv programming similar to Netflix, as well as Prime music that allows you listen to your favorite music and create a custom playlist. Free two day shipping is included almost everything you order, and you get the better deals. The price is for a year long membership. I didn't pay for the membership this year. It was given to me as a birthday gift.

The shipping alone has saved me at least as much as the membership. I love the TV shows and movies and the music feature. There's also cloud storage for pictures. Very handy, as I can access them across devices.
