Generally I like to buy local. I love supporting stores like Grand Rabbits, Becoming Mothers, Lucky’s Market, McGuckins, etc… But there are times when you need to look farther for things you cannot get locally or the best deal. This is where Amazon is finding its way into my heart.

Amazon Prime and Amazon Mom are two membership programs through Amazon.com. With Amazon Prime you pay $79/year and you get free 2-day shipping, some instant videos, and some Kindle books. But there is also Amazon Mom. There was a time when membership to Amazon Mom was closed, but now they have opened membership and they are offering a FREE 3 month trial. You get FREE 2 day shipping, 20% off diapers & wipes, and some other specials thrown in from time to time. If you head to Costco to buy diapers & wipes, then Amazon Mom may be more convenient and cost effective. Or maybe not, but I think it is worth a look.
