cardboard boxes in a pile -- 7 benefits of Amazon Prime

Are you an Amazon Prime member? If so, you may not be taking advantage of all its benefits as a home cook. And if you’re not an Amazon Prime member, you’re missing out! Let me tell you about 7 benefits you get with Amazon Prime as a home cook.

You can get a FREE 30-day trial here — just in time for Prime Day!!

Table of Contents

  • Great Products
  • Fast shipping
  • Free Shows and Movies
  • Playlists
  • Amazon Fresh
  • Prime Pantry
  • Lightning Deals
  • Prime Day

Great Products

Of course, you can buy great products on Amazon. Specifically, you can buy great kitchen products there. Here are some of my favorite cooking items to buy on Amazon:

  • Cookbooks
  • Knives
  • Dishes
  • Cookware
  • Small Kitchen Appliances
  • Servingware
  • Dinner Party Decorations

Fast shipping

This is probably what you’re most familiar with and why most people pay for Amazon Prime. Their 2-day shipping. It’s awesome!

And if you haven’t noticed, more and more products are available for 1-Day and even Same-Day Shipping. The bigger your city, the more likely you can find products that ship more quickly (thanks to local Amazon warehouses).

Having items shipped in 2 days or less is such a timesaver when you don’t feel like battling the stores, and it’s super handy for ordering gifts (you can even have them delivered to the recipient).

Free Shows and Movies

Do you like to watch shows while you cook? I do. With Amazon Prime Video, you can stream hundreds of shows and movies right on your computer or tablet.

And did you know that Amazon Prime has some great cooking shows? Here are a few of the best-rated ones:

  • Real Food, Real Kitchens
  • Chef Tips
  • Gordon Ramsey’s Ultimate Cookery Course
  • Bake with Anna Olsen

Playlists

With Amazon Prime Music, you can listen to songs while you cook or create a playlist for your next dinner party. They have over 2 million songs to choose from, it’s ad-free, and you can listen offline, too. I don’t know about you, but if I’m not watching a show, I love to jam while I’m cooking.

Amazon Fresh

In select areas, fresh groceries can be delivered to your door in LESS THAN AN HOUR with the click of a button. You pay an extra monthly fee to use Amazon Fresh, but you get unlimited grocery delivery. How nice would it be to sit at your kitchen table, plan out your next dinner party, and have everything you need in an hour?

Check here to see if Amazon Fresh services your area.

Prime Pantry

With Prime Pantry, you can buy everyday pantry items to be shipped right to your door. If you subscribe to Amazon Fresh, shipping is free.

Lightning Deals

When you have Amazon Prime, you get access to their Lightning Deals 30 minutes early! I’ve seen some amazing kitchen deals in those Lightning sales but there are only a limited number for sale. Getting early access gives you a leg up on your competition!

Prime Day

Amazon offers so many benefits to its members — one of the biggest is its upcoming Prime Day (which is actually two days — July 15th and 16th!!) There are HUGE kitchen and cooking deals during Amazon Prime Day, but you have to be a Prime member to get them. You can actually get better deals than Black Friday!

So go sign up for a free trial of Amazon Prime now (you can always cancel before your 30 days are up)!

Then check out my page of Amazon Prime Day Deals which I’ll keep up to date throughout Prime Day!

Hi, I’m Sandi!

I love connecting with friends and family over a good meal, and I want to help you gain confidence to invite people over for dinner. I believe friendships grow when you gather around the table.
