Jet.com, currently in private beta, will charge members $50 a year to access the lowest prices possible on a vast range of goods, with additional discount opportunities for buying items in larger quantities, purchasing multiple items from the same retailer, or waiving the right to return certain items — plus free shipping for orders over $35 and free returns. Jet claims that, by offering products that are on average 5-to-6 percent cheaper than anywhere online, they will ultimately save members at least $150 a year. Here’s an apples-to-apples price comparison of a few choice items you might need, including food, kids toys, gear, and diapers. Unfortunately, it doesn’t include actual apples, because Jet doesn’t do produce yet.

And maybe quit it with the late night drunken shopping while you’re at it.
