Pay more attention when using the site. The big obvious buttons to
use to progress an order also tend to sign you up to Prime. Look for
the the much smaller, just text (no "button" graphic) that doesn't...

Actually very recently they tried a new version of it where they "gave"
you a free trial upgrade to Prime with no option to avoid it at all.
(at least not if you wanted to buy the stuff you had just selected)

Yes, I was caught by that a few days ago. I use Amazon quite a lot,
but I've studiously avoided Prime until now, when in a moment of
inattention I must have clicked on the wrong button. I shall
investigate how to cancel it ASAP.

It happened to me on 11/6/2019 - I am certain there was no option not to
accept their generous free offer if I wanted to place my order. It went
to a new screen saying words to the effect of "you have been selected
for a free months trial of Amazon prime". I went round the loop twice
emptying the basket and trying again to be sure.
