Free-Shipping Dilemma


So, I got onto Amazon on Monday to pre-order the next two 39-Clues books that are due to come out soon. Turns out I was 5 bucks short of getting the free shipping deal, so I decided to get the movie The Blind Side, which completed my order and I got the free shipping I wanted!

Well...Tuesday came around and my coworker reminded me that the new series by Rick Riordan (author of the Percy Jackson series) came out that day, so I immediately jumped onto Amazon and put it in my cart! Well...my problem is Amazon is so cheap sometimes that I needed to get something else in order to qualify my order for the free shipping. I decided to get the movie Sherlock Holmes and can you believe that I was still 4 bucks short of my free-shipping limit...but I couldn't think of anything else I wanted or needed....so I bought this chalk reel for $4...it was the cheapest thing I could find...
I only wish I would have realize on Monday that the new series was being released so I could have added it to my Monday order to make it complete...instead, I have The Blind Side, Sherlock Holmes...and a chalk reel, just so I could get my 3 books with free shipping...I have a problem.

I love Amazon because they have everything I need, and Amazon loves me because I give them all my money.
