I'm getting obsessive...

I have a shopping cart with an item I really want in it at Amazon. I cannot check out. I've had the item there for days.

I put in a ten dollars off coupon. I used a gift certificate I had. I did the webcertificate deal and waited for my webbie, so I'd save another ten. In the wait, my ten dollar off coupon expired

Now I have a five dollar off coupon in my cart. I can't check out. I just can't do it.

I am waiting for the next "big" coupon to come along. God knows how long I'll wait. Over five dollars too. What the hell is the matter with me!

Incidentially, anyone get an email with a 10% off coupon in it from Amazon that they are not planning on using?

I'm not sure why I'm being so obstinent, but I am just not checking out from Amazon until I am satisfied that I have a good deal!

I think I finally became obsessed. I always flirted with obsession, but now it's really happened.

All this over a phone. A phone I need too.

Margaret, who has the five bucks, but doesn't feel like she should have to spend it, when a better deal will probably come along soon (but, in the meantime, she's sans phone*).

*(Margaret is sans her phone, but not without the "house phone" and not without her cell phone. This is not something totally dangerous she is doing... just inconvenient).

I was surprised I didn't know about this... but I just realized I did.

That's the share the love program. I would only get the 10% off the same item you purchased.

The 10% I was thinking of is one Amazon sends out on the anniversary of your first purchase with them. Most people think its spam and delete it. It's only good for a relatively short time period, so if people aren't using them, they are usually glad to share them (although, I bet we have some amazon addicts here!)

Edited to say that I can't get rid of the affiliate thing. I did a google search for share the love amazon, and that's what I found. If someone can find a direct link that is not an affiliate link, please add it.
