Curse You, Amazon

[Lyss]

I totally love Amazon!!! I have prime (my mom pays for it but you can add additional people to you account) so I get free 2 day shipping too.

I need to order DD's easter toy (Chica stuffed animal) today at some point to get it by Sat at the latest but I'm afraid to log on because I know I'll be doing the same thing, adding more and more to my cart!! ::

Yes I am making a concerted effort to stay away from amazon this year, except for stuff I need, oh my, last year and the year before....lets just say I was able to get my income down ALOT for taxes thanks to amazon and their prime shipping, this year I'm making sure more goes to savings than amazon, but what a great company! I love that site.

I'm with you. While I don't use Amazon to order for work, I do use them to buy DVDs. I always buy them used and it seems like every week I'm buying more. I realized I had a problem when I realized that I had bought all 10 seasons of Law and Order :CI in 3 months. I need help for my addiction but Skyfall and The Hobbit are out on DVD.

I laughed out loud reading your title, girl. ::

Amazon ... it's out to get your money.

[EntropyControlSpecialist]

That's one of the the things that made me go ahead and hit "place order"!!

Also the fact that I got a dcb back to me starting this week and since we were more or less "stable" without his check and he goes to kindy in September, I told DH that we are going to spend his money each week on things to build up my program and improve the house/yard (all with an eye to daycare/preschool). So it's totally justified.

And once I've got my program improved I will save up to replace our stove happyface

Sounds great! happyface Can't wait to see pics!

I finally finished mine. $204 later..............

Agreed! I am in love with Amazon, but curse them for making spending too much money way too easy and delighting me with daily package arrivals for a week straight!

I literally put in an order last week for $600+ in books, wooden toys, Montessori materials, and a balance bike for my 18 month DS!

But ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it was good stuff!!!!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one with an Amazon "problem".

It's that super saver shipping...it gets ya every time.

LOL! And mine....it was ALL books. Yes. I am an addict.

[Crazy8]

LOL, I do that all too often!!

The great thing about Amazon prime is I will just order the 1 item because I don't have to worry about spending enough to get free shipping or combining shipping charges, etc. But sometimes I start peeking around and boom, I end up placing 3-4 orders in a day, LOL!

ROFL Yes, the Super Saver Shipping!!! ::

[TheGoodLife]

I <3 Amazon too!!!!! Oh man, I get so ****ed into their reviews. For example, if I was in the market for a laminator, I would have blown at LEAST 2 hours reading reviews, !!

I'm so anti-credit card after we paid all our debt off. I just don't use them... BUT I do use my Amazon Visa because their rewards program is pretty significant! Especially with my spending...

I am the same way with reviews- LOL ::

[just_peachy]

I am the same way with reviews- LOL ::

Haha yay I'm not alone! I've gone so far as to download the Amazon app and use it to check reviews on everything! At the bookstore considering a book? Check Amazon reviews. At Target buying a coat hook? Check reviews. Buying a new brand of coffee at Costco? Check reviews. It's becoming a problem I think.

Also, does anyone else get embarrassed about how often the UPS guy stops by?
