Yesterday, I read an entry about shopping on line, and not being impulsive. Being impulsive is one of my problems, when it comes to finding a "bargain".
I got a gift certificate for Amazon.com for Christmas, and decided to look at their clearance items. Well, there were hundreds of great items, at great prices, and I put about three hundred dollars worth in the "shopping cart". In the past, I would have spent three times, what my gift certificate would have paid for. After all, they were "bargains" and at great prices!!!
Well, I remembered the advise in the entry, and decided to "sleep on it". In the morning, nothing seemed like such a great idea, and I will not order any of the things that I wanted, but didn't need!
I have two family members with January birthdays. For the adult, I ordered two magazine subscriptions through
MagazinePriceSearch.com. They have great prices, and coupons to make the prices even better. I know the subscriptions will be appreciated all year long, and that he will be glad he isn't getting any more "stuff" right after all of the "stuff" he got for Christmas.
This site saved me money!

FYI - You can get magazine subscriptions on Amazon. Always a good way to use a gift certificate.

I try to compare Amazon magazine prices with PriceSearch prices, and go with the best price.
I did got an awesome deal on Amazon in November.

Sometimes, I wonder, "What was I thinking?" when I buy so impulsively.
