Think of what I need around 10 PM - think of hitting the stores the next day amidst construction in the morning and head to Amazon.

This geezer loves it for saving me gas, saving me personal going-out-in-public clean up time, and on and on and on.

Plus the Prime allows videos etc., along with having gifts wrapped sent to others that nearly equals the shipping charges if done otherwise.

I do not use it for big ticket items, or those I know are easily accessible when out and about.

Will never use it for groceries or such sundries unless I become truly housebound due to serious medical infirmities. But good to know it is there if I need it and a relative or friend is not handy to run those errands.

My somewhat guilty pleasure.

Today had delivered new dog tags (saved standing with a cane in the pet store engraving machine), underwear (never know if my size and brand will be in stock at Target), favorite eyebrow powder (no longer at Walgreens), .... you get the picture.
