Amazon Prime For Free!

Tricia from Bremerton, WA shared this money saving tip with us. We've verified the info, joined the program and have enjoyed a free Amazon.com Prime membership courtesy of our college kids.

I recently received an email from Amazon.com promoting Amazon Student. One of the benefits to this program is free membership in Amazon Prime for a year, with free two-day shipping on all eligible products. The only requirement to sign up for Amazon student is to supply Amazon with your .edu email address associated with the college you are currently enrolled in.

Editors' Note: What this means is that Amazon will waive the normal $70 annual fee so you can receive free shipping on Prime eligible items. Sometimes it's less expensive to buy a regularly priced item and pay for shipping. But if you are buying things like groceries, tires or appliances, getting free shipping will usually make the deal really sweet.

Speaking of making the deal even sweeter, we heard that Amazon extended this free Prime program to moms and caregivers (dads are included too). Read the details about Amazon Mom here.
