Spending $3000 and saving $300 on delivery is not saving money.
It's spending $3000.
You are $3000 less well off.
This is such a basic concept many will violently oppose the idea with rationale such as "well I was going to spend it anyhow" or "Well, those headphones were on the list" or "These CDs were necessary spends and I would have bought them regardless of the saving".
- mikeash 11y agoYou have a good point but I think you're reaching too far with it. They're not $3,000 less well off, because the value of the purchases is more than the value of the money. (From the buyer's point of view, which is all that matters here.)
- jtmarmon 11y agoOnly true if those purchases would've only been made on amazon prime. The author said he replaced target with amazon prime, so it would make sense his spending on AP shoots up. In reality it's hard to say for sure.
