<prompt> Human: Im looking for storiesadvice of other brave souls who canceled Prime and found alternatives. Did it save you money and or pump the brakes on your spending? Our story; Amazon prime with a new baby is a very bad idea, I have to rein in my wifes spending. We avg 335 on Amazon a month. We started using Walmart and Costco more, and the experienceselectionprices are similar or better than Amazon. We never use any of the other prime features. I think many will say that its not a Prime problem but a spending problem, my reply would be, its both. Im extremely disciplined with our spending but my wife handles all baby needs, it would be a full time job to keep track of it. Personally I would buy all kids stuff on craigslist, they only use it for 6 weeks but the boss says no. Im hoping no prime slows down the spending, I could care less about the monthly Prime fee.  <response>: Im sorry but Prime was not the problem. It was 100 an overspending issue. Did Prime help enable it? I guess so. I mean you dont see many recovered alcoholics that keep multiple bottles of liquor handy. If you are the disciplined one with your spending, why is your wife handling the shopping for baby supplies? You could easily take that over and save her a headache, and both of you money.
