[Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) junkies who have signed up for Amazon Prime (free 2-day shipping for a year), here’s a little game for you. Find the cheapest item that qualifies for Prime shipping. I’ll start off with these 5.99 “neckband” headphones: [http://www.amazon.com/Maxell-NB201-Stereo-Neck-Band/dp/B00006JPRP/ref=sr\_1\_96/104-4936502-1157568?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1178042838&sr=1-96](http://www.amazon.com/Maxell-NB201-Stereo-Neck-Band/dp/B00006JPRP/ref=sr_1_96/104-4936502-1157568?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1178042838&sr=1-96) ---

[QUOTE=Pygmy Rugger] So whatchya gunna buy that runs $19.01? [/QUOTE] ?? he’s not talking about "super saver’ shipping, he’s talking about Amazon Prime, where you pay a fee and get free 2-day shipping for a year. ---

**Supereliguy** gave the _only correct response_ to the OP, and even made clear that he already knew it was an old thread. The “zombie” responses are themselves mindless. ---

I have a new contender: Mead 70 sheet wide ruled spiral notebook, purple cover. [http://www.amazon.com/Mead-Spiral-Notebook-1-Subject-70-Count/dp/B003NSB09Q/ref=lh\_di\_t\_dup\_](http://www.amazon.com/Mead-Spiral-Notebook-1-Subject-70-Count/dp/B003NSB09Q/ref=lh_di_t_dup_). 77 cents.

I logged all the way out and it still says that. But anyway, if something is eligible for Super Saver, then it is Prime eligible, always I believe. ---

In a retraction of my previous post, this [slightly different box of rubber bands](http://www.amazon.com/Charles-Leonard-Tissue-style-Natural-58118/dp/B001QOH04S/ref=pd_sbs_op_4) is 60 cents and this 65 cent [rubber band holder](http://www.amazon.com/MMF-Doodad-Black-Wire-26704/dp/B004CY83P4/ref=pd_sbs_op_1) are also free to ship. ---

FWIW, I signed up for [Amazon Mom](http://www.amazon.com/gp/mom/signup/info)and got a free 3 month sample of Prime. It was definitely incentive to shop more. (And it didn’t renew or charge me anywhere). There’s also Amazon Student which offers the same thing. ---

On a practical note, [superfillers.com](http://superfillers.com) will find items to bring your total up to $25 so it can be eligible for free shipping if you don’t have Prime. ---
