Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime costs $79/year. A very good thing about it is that delivery of "Prime-eligible" products is free and done in 2 days. The problem is that many items are not "Prime-eligible" and some "non-Prime-eligible" items cost less than the same items if bought under the Prime program. But here is the best thing about it: You can take it for a month trial at no cost and watch, say, 4 seasons of The Good Wife for free (Prime program has a fair amount of free streaming), and decide if you want to buy the Prime service for the year. And if you do, it will turn out buying the DVDs or streaming 4 seasons of The Good Wife from other pay-per-view services would have cost you way more than $79.
