Curse You, Amazon

[SilverSabre25]

I set out to order Laminator pockets. Scotch brand, 100 packs for $13 each. Free shipping eligible. Bought two. Perfect. Then I remembered some other stuff I wanted that was already in my cart--plastic spice jars to make smelling bottles, a couple magnetic wands. And counting bears! I wanted counting bears! And tongs I wanted those too. Oh, and I might as well get a nice box of dinos since we're all interested in them...oh, $30. Okay. And then my kiddos got involved in a game with the one bean bag we have and I admitted I'm never going to make my own (got stuck on what to fill them with, I am so lame, haha) and ordered some of those.

$100 later...

but it's all for the daycare! And it's all GOOD stuff, useful in many ways and for many things, and to enhance my preschool offerings...and I'm actively trying to improve in that area...

I hear ya! Amazon is gonna break me! I put over $100 in books in my cart yesterday and decided to wait to check out because I KNOW I will be adding more today!

Hey....at least you can justify it as a tax write off ::

It IS super fun to get to 'spend' your tax money all year round! My CPA told me to spend LOTS more this year. My dh's face looking like a combination of ( )

I'm glad I'm not the only one ::. We need to start a support group.

BTW those pouches are 200 for just over $20 at Sam's Club.

I lovethis amazon

[just_peachy]

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...

My wish list gets bigger everyday. Gonna be a great delivery day when I eventually order!

[slorey]

I try to avoid going on Amazon, because I know I will inevitably end up spending way more money than I would like! For me, pretending it doesn't exist is the best method to use ::

ROFL!!

My problem is I always end up spending the most around this time of year, then we don't see the tax benefit until next year. I should wait until fall, but I never do.

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

We don't really have this problem in Canada...amazon.ca offers less and costs more. We can order some things from amazon.com, but shipping can be costly.
