Amazon Prime members: Have you ever purchased from Prime Pantry?

I just got an email today that I have credit toward Prime Pantry. I’ve never purchased from Prime Pantry before, but getting the credit sucked me in.

I found their prices to be very close or cheaper to supermarket prices. I bought cookies to give as holiday gifts and I bought shampoo and conditioner. Selection was decent and the prices were good. Some items have a coupon that’s granted automatically at checkout.

I didn’t really follow the “box is percentage full” thing. I figured I’d buy what I wanted and if I was charged for shipping because my box wasn’t full, I’d just empty the whole box and forget it. I got the 5.99 credit that was originally offered and I got free shipping on top of it.

It’s not replacing any trip to the supermarket but it’s good to supplement or search for stuff.

For me, since I ship to my work address (because I’m there to receive it and don’t have to worry about it being left at any neighbor’s house), I don’t think it would benefit me to have big or heavy things sent from Prime Pantry. I’d have to carry them out of the work place and down to the car. However, for small stuff like cookies, teas and shampoo, it’s helpful to me.

Have you tried Prime Pantry yet?
