Thinking about joining Amazon Prime? It’s a one-stop-shopping destination for electronics, apparel, beauty and personal care products, groceries, pet supplies, travel gear, furniture, fitness essentials, pharmaceuticals, home improvement items, office supplies, movies, books, video games and free shipping on most items.
If you’re still not sure about pricing, exclusive perks and how to sign up, check below for everything you need to know before joining Amazon Prime.
How Much Does Amazon Prime Cost?
A membership to Amazon Prime currently costs $12.99 a month or $129.99 a year. The price will soon increase to $14.99 for the monthly membership and $139 for the yearly cost, Amazon announced Thursday (Feb. 2). Amazon attributed the price jump, which is scheduled for Feb. 18, to rising operational costs and their newly announced NFL deal to broadcast Thursday Night Football.
How to Get a Free Trial to Amazon Prime?
Amazon Prime’s price hike is the company’s first increase in four years but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to save a few bucks. Right now, new members can enjoy a free 30-day trial to Amazon Prime. The membership will increase to the regular price after the free trial ends but there are a couple of clever ways to lock in your rate, according to CNBC.
What Do You Get with a Prime Membership?
With a Prime membership you’ll get exclusive deals and discounts, plus early access to Amazon’s Lightning Deals and Prime Day, free two-hour delivery on groceries and prescription drugs from Amazon Pharmacy, free video games and in-game items along with a free Twitch channel courtesy of Prime Gaming.
Aside from discounts and free delivery, one of the best things about Amazon Prime is that you get access to Prime Video where you can stream thousands of free movies and shows included in your membership along with in-theater rentals, hard-to-find shows and films, and Amazon Prime Originals such as Wheel of Time, Rooster, Harlem, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Phat Tuesdays, Good Omens, Book of Love, Being the Ricardos, Coming 2 America, The Boys, The Tender Bar and the upcoming Lord of the Rings series.
For music lovers, Prime members get free access to more than two million ad-free songs via Amazon Music. The streaming platform houses over 70 million songs and podcast episodes.
More Ways to Save
Having multiple subscriptions can get pricey so it’s always great to find more ways to save. Amazon Prime is just $6 a month for eligible EBT/Medicaid recipients (after a free 30-day trial). That means you’ll get all the benefits of Amazon Prime but at half the price. Amazon also accepts SNAP and EBT benefits for eligible groceries.
Another money-saving membership plan, Prime Student is $6.50 a month for everything in the regularly-price membership, plus special discounts on textbooks and e-textbook rentals. Prime Student offers Amazon Music and Prime Video Channels for $0.99 and a free two-month trial to Kindle Unlimited to read millions of titles on any device.
Now that you’re all caught up, the only thing left to do is join. Click here to start your Amazon Prime Membership.
Singer-songwriter Fantasia Barrino will make her feature film debut in The Color Purple movie musical.
Barrino, who grew to fame as the winner of the third season of American Idol, is in final negotiations to play Celie, a role that she played onstage on Broadway in 2007 and for which earned rave reviews. Whoopi Goldberg played the role in Steven Spielberg’s dramatic version of The Color Purple in 1985.
Warner Bros. is behind the feature adaptation of the Tony-winning Broadway musical, itself an adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1982 novel by Alice Walker, on which the Oscar-nominated Steven Spielberg-directed 1985 movie was based. The story centers on a woman named Celie Harris and tracks her life-long struggles as an African American woman living in the South during the early 1900s.
Barrino would join a previously reported cast of Taraji P. Henson, Corey Hawkins and H.E.R., the latter making her feature film debut in the production.
Blitz Bazawule, the filmmaker behind the Beyoncé-fronted Black Is King, is set to direct the fresh take on the musical. Marcus Gardley penned the screenplay, adapted from Marsha Norman’s book and Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray’s score. The movie is in pre-production with casting beginning to come together and chemistry reads happening now.
Oprah Winfrey, who had her feature acting debut in Spielberg’s The Color Purple and earned an Oscar nomination, is producing via her Harpo Films banner with Spielberg under his Amblin Entertainment. Scott Sanders and Quincy Jones, both of whom were behind the Broadway musical, will also produce. Walker, Rebecca Walker, Kristie Macosko Krieger, Carla Gardini, Adam Fell, and Mara Jacobs executive producing.
Warners has set a release date of December 20, 2023.
Burrino, who has won three Grammys and earned 12 nominations for her recording work since 2006, is repped by ICM Partners.

I took an arrow to the heart
I never kissed a mouth that tastes like yours
Strawberries and somethin’ more
Ooh yeah, I want it all
Lipstick on my guitar (ooh)
Fill up the engine, we can drive real far
Go dancin’ underneath the stars
Ooh yeah, I want it all
Mm, you got me feelin’ like
I wanna be that guy, I wanna kiss your eyes
I wanna drink that smile, I wanna feel like I’m
Like my soul’s on fire, I wanna stay up all day and all night
Yeah, you got me singin’ like
Ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you’re close up, give me the shivers
Oh baby, you wanna dance ’til the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party’s over, then we’ll bring it right back
And we’ll say, ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you’re close up, give me the shivers
Oh baby, you wanna dance ’til the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party’s over, then we’ll bring it right back
Into the car
On the backseat in the moonlit dark
Wrap me up between your legs and arms
Ooh, I can’t get enough
You know you could tear me apart (ooh)
Put me back together and take my heart
I never thought that I could love this hard
Ooh, I can’t get enough

Baby, you burn so hot
You make me shiver with the fire you got
This thing we started, I don’t want it to stop
You know you make me shiver-er-er
Baby, you burn so hot
You make me shiver with the fire you got
This thing we started, I don’t want it to stop
You know you make me shiver
Yeah, you got me singin’ like
Ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you’re close up, give me the shivers
Oh baby, you wanna dance ’til the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party’s over, then we’ll bring it right back (oh no)
And we’ll say, ooh, I love it when you do it like that
And when you’re close up, give me the shivers
Oh baby, you wanna dance ’til the sunlight cracks
And when they say the party’s over, then we’ll bring it right back, hey
