just wait until you have like 40-50$ worth of items, a lot of the time they'll give you free shipping at a certain price point. Plus some items give you free shipping regardless.

That being said, I still have prime myself cause I order /a lot/ of small orders and it's shared with the house, plus I use the family member feature to give my mom prime as well and we just split the cost. When they do away with that feature is when I cancel my sub, 140-160 a year is not worth it for one person to pay alone, that's roughly 2.5 orders a month
