The Amazon platform has become the go-to shopping site for just about everything on the planet and is so convenient. It’s amazing how many items we have in our homes that were either purchased on Amazon or are available there when we need them. You can get deliveries 7 days a week and its trucks show up in the remotest of places.
I particularly love my Amazon Prime membership as there are so many perks. One of them is the streaming channel which you operate with an Amazon Firestick. As far as I’m concerned, it has the best entertainment out there and I can say that because between my roommate and I, we own almost all of the channels.
I have connected my Amazon Prime Video channel to Britbox, PBS Masterpiece, and PBS Documentaries. You can also add on Paramount +, MAX, and Starz and manage them through your Amazon Prime Account.
Then there is the shopping
I wrote a post about the best clothing brands for women on Amazon. You can find affordable and casual clothing as well as luxury items on the site.
Many people depend on Amazon for their pets and can purchase pet food, bedding, and fanciful costumes.
Download the Amazon shopping app on your smartphone for more convenience.
Find what you need for daily living
Amazon started as the premier seller of books online and there are too many to count. An author is not an author unless they have a book on Amazon. It doesn’t matter if it was published at a big publishing firm or self-published.
You can save your photos from your smartphone to the Amazon cloud with Amazon Photos so you don’t have to worry about losing them if something happens to your phone.
And then there is grocery shopping. If you can’t make it to the market or enjoy the convenience of delivery services, Amazon Fresh will serve your needs.
Amazon provides prescriptions and 24-7 on-demand virtual care with One Medical. It offers comprehensive primary care for seniors on Medicare as well.
I like to promote Amazon products on this site because it is so convenient to shop there and your products are delivered quickly.
I believe most people who love shopping at Target, Walmart, or other stores, will go there locally and hope they will find what they want. Those looking for something specific will almost always find it on Amazon.
Benefits of Amazon Prime Membership
You can find a full list of benefits for Prime Membership here.
In a nutshell, Amazon Prime Membership gives you exclusive delivery options such as free Two Day Delivery.

Prime members can take advantage of special deals such as Amazon Prime Big Deal Days. (October 10-11) There are other shopping days where Prime members get exclusive discounts.
Another perk is the ability to try before you buy clothing, shoes, jewelry, and accessories.
Honestly, I could go on and on as there are so many benefits.

Visit my Amazon Storefront
I have been working with Amazon for many years recommending products I have used and loved. If you purchase something I recommend I receive a tiny commission, at no extra cost to you. Recently, I qualified to become an Amazon influencer and can now upload product videos directly on the Amazon website. I show you products that I have in my possession and review them in short videos. I also recommend products that I believe are great for active women over 50.
I’m having a blast doing this and it is also a profitable side gig. Ask me about it.

I’m happy I took the plunge and became an Amazon Prime member. How about you?
I liked this site because it made me feel human. I am 74 yrs old and am really beginning to fear driving. Especially on small road trips. I have a brother in GA who is in nursing home and I want to go see him but my fear of driving alone keeps me from going. It’s a four hr drive. I call him a lot though. None of my children will make the time to go with me. One says ‘next month’ others just ignore the subject when I bring it up. I use to be so independent. I have a few friends but none I’d ask to come with me (afraid they’d turn me down because it’s not a fun trip) and it’s my brother not theirs. I understand that. When I have tried to go somewhere I am so afraid or anxious. I think I have a poor sense of direction too. It’s very miserable.
I’m so sorry to hear that. When I felt feel I just sang to myself “I love driving” over and over and it calmed me down. Now I’m not as scared. I hope that helps.
