One hundred million people have signed up for Amazon’s Prime subscription service. The company raised the price to $119 a year in May. The service offers customers free expedited shipping, music and movie streaming, along with a bunch of other lesser-known programs. CNBC's Jeniece Pettitt explains why the cost of the membership may not be worth the price.

If you are someone who makes a lot of small purchases on Amazon, the convenience of the free, two-day shipping is invaluable. But, if you’re someone who rarely shops on Amazon, and doesn’t mind waiting a few extra days to get your stuff, you should definitely save your money. Without the convenience of free two-day shipping, you might even find yourself spending less money shopping online.
