Too much effort...

Submitted by Guest on March 17, 2008 - 17:17.

I shop online to save time, because stores are a hassle. Spending time looking for some $5.92 item doesn't seem frugal, it seems wasteful. Especially as very few useful items are in that sort of price range.

If my total at Amazon is insufficient I just add one of the many books on my wishlist. Being anywhere from $7-$13, these immediately complete my order, while rewarding me with a book I've wanted for some time.

Of course, this only works because I never buy from my wishlist *except* when I need it for shipping.
