I, too, hate to shop. I joined Prime in December when my brother gave my 98 year old mother the Amazon Dot so she could play music since she could not remember how to operate the cd player. Now she just tells the Dot what music she wants and - wa la - she has music (part of the music available through Prime). Just this week I downloaded a free Kindle book, and yesterday I ordered some small items I needed and did not want to go to the store for - they will be at my door tomorrow. My DH watches the movies, and I am watching a TV series through it - so we definitely feel it is worth the money. What I really love is ordering large size items (coffee kcups in quantity, dog items) and not having to lug them from the store but getting them delivered to my door.
