Is Amazon Prime worth it in Canada if I only order twice a month?

Amazon Prime in Canada is usually about CAD $9–$10 per month or around CAD $90–$100 per year (check the current price, since Amazon changes it). For only two orders a month, it’s often not worth it purely for shipping unless your orders are small, time-sensitive, or you also use perks like Prime Video.

A simple rule of thumb:

• Worth it: you regularly buy low-cost items that would otherwise miss free-shipping thresholds, want faster delivery, or use Prime Video enough to matter.
• Probably not worth it: most of your orders already qualify for free shipping, you can wait a few extra days, and you don’t care about the entertainment extras.

Quick break-even test:

1. Compare the current Prime fee to what you’d pay in shipping without it.
2. Review your last 6–12 orders and estimate how many would have needed paid shipping.
3. Add any value you personally get from Prime Video or other benefits.
4. If that total is more than the subscription cost, keep it. If not, skip Prime and batch orders.

For someone ordering twice a month in Canada, I’d usually lean no unless the convenience and perks are worth roughly $10/month to you.
