Check in for Moms who spend too much money on Amazon

MissyC979 · March 2014

If the UPS guy is comments on how your kids are growing so fast, this is the check in for you!

MissyC979 · March 2014

I am probably the reason Prime is going up in $$.

Hmm, and since you can buy all of these things on amazon its like the alpha and omega of...everything.

I have a problem.

This comment alone should balance out all the check-in threads. I will defend you against anyone who wants to dethrone you!

thesportsgal · March 2014

Hell yes. I feel like I should invite our UPS guy to Thanksgiving.

peitri · March 2014

Also, this thread reminded me I want to buy some new travel coffee mugs. ::off to Amazon::

Oh and it's almost April, so I can borrow another book for free on my Kindle soon!

DD1's favorite after-school activity is checking for packages on the front porch. Usually there's at least one. Today there were two.

(FTR: coffee, kitty litter, lanolin soap and a weather shield for the BOB)

peitri · March 2014

I ordered AA batteries, a surge protector, and another car seat base for my car. This was Monday.

blainethetrain · March 2014

I ordered 2 new sports bras today, as I ordered one Monday that I really liked.

Best check in ever. hi my name is Grace and I have a problem. Seriously though Amazon makes life so much easier. Subscribe and save is my best friend.

rkcaraway · March 2014

Hi my name is RK and I love Amazon. Prime has saved me since I can't flippin go anywhere. My UPS guy hates me though. My dogs bark at him all the time.

Cambury108 · March 2014

I think is a stroller? Not sure though

Marchmellow2 · March 2014

@prettykitty2012‌ it's a stroller.

Hello my name is Marchmellow and I'm an Amazon addict. I can't wait for the day when I can get groceries off amazon in Austin.

lilypienmessimy · March 2014

I'm on there everyday looking for something; prime shipping is the bomb!

Our UPS guy, James, gets Christmas goodies from us - it's that bad... Heavy boxes he will wait for me at the door and bring them inside for me... It's bad...

peitri · March 2014

I just ordered these bad boys. Whoop!

clhathaway · March 2014

DF and our ups guy are friends. They go hunting together and everything. It's sad when I have a package that needs a siggy and he signs for it and takes it home with him and we get it from his house.

Doing the virtual walk of shame over here.

grannyweatherwax · March 2014

My UPS guy gave me the UPS calendar he saves for his regulars.

ScarlettV · March 2014

My ups guy hates us because we have a long driveway and a long walkway to our door.

He's started leaving our packages in front of our garage instead as protest.

DS1 gets soo excited for packages. He was pissed today that "we waited all day and it was just moisturizer" when my new anti-wrinkle cream came today. He's not going to be happy tomorrow when the new auxiliary cable comes for my iPod!

Whoa! I'm jealous. Didn't even know that was a thing!

DH found this calculator to see whether Prime saves us money. Yup. 47 orders last year...

Complete brain freeze here, but what is BOB? Because all I can think of is battery operated boyfriend (what my aunt calls vibrators), and for the life of me I can't imagine why that would need a weather shield!

LOL, yes, the stroller!

YES. We moved away from the Bay Area just before Google Local started same-day deliveries. I has the jealous.

northport6 · March 2014

Okay, so when it was announced that the prime fee was going up a few weeks ago, Slate put up a calculator to figure out if it was really worth your membership. It calculated average shipping cost and how many orders placed against the increased fee.

Let's just say I'm ripping Amazon off, instead of the other way around.

To be fair: I live 45 miles from the nearest Target, BRU & BBB.

JRT512 · March 2014

You know you have a problem when....you leave Target with nothing because you found the same items on Amazon for a better price. And you One-Click ordered them while standing in the aisle at Target.

I use my Amazon price checker before I buy anything!

Earlier this week I saw our UPS guy out a few streets away and I purposely took longer than necessary to get home to avoid more forced conversation. (He is nice, though).
