S/O Who purchased something from Amazon today?

[shukriyya]

Reading all the responses in the 'no rush Amazon shipping' thread got me thinking about how Amazon has become such a fixture in my life, mainly because of the Prime two-day shipping option. And sure enough I did buy something today from Amazon, a kindle daily deal book for $1.99. How about you, WTMers, did you Amazon today?

[Scrub Jay]

Me!

 

Diapers and an Elsa costume.

[mamajag]

I bought a router for my ILs. It was $15!

[JustEm]

nope! but I do need to buy coconut oil so thanks for the reminder.

[kathy_overman]

Thanks for reminding me to go checkout.  Things often sit in my cart for days on end.

 

Today, I ordered:  Mod Podge, LED light to run in the dark, and Easy Spanish

 

When feeling guilty, I remember it is almost always cheaper than a trip to Target.

[Stacia]

Downloaded a free Kindle book. (Not sure why as I don't like reading ebooks.) Lol.

 

FYI, for the purposes of this thread, I don't purchase things from amazon very often. About once every 3 months or so.

 

[nukeswife]

I ordered some arthritis pills for my dog.  

[Just Kate]

I ordered some arthritis pills for my dog.

You can order these on Amazon??? I've been meaning to call the vet to get more.

[marbel]

I just ordered a gift card.   I need it right away (procrastinated on a gift need) and wish I had added a few things, so I may be back later....

[Catwoman]

I order from them at least a few times a week -- and pretty much daily as it gets closer to Christmas. I definitely get my money's worth out of my Prime membership!

 

And yes, I ordered something today, too. Just a few books. :)

[AK_Mom4]

Watched the old Disney Treasure Island on Amazon Prime today.

[El...]

I shopped, but didn't push the last button yet.  :)  Amazon and I are close, very close.

[Gentlemommy]

Yes...a whole lot of things. :-0

[Luckymama]

I didn't buy anything today (bought a book yesterday) but I did use a work out video on Amazon Instant Video :D

[*Lulu*]

Chewlery for Punk, a sensory toy, and a crock pot.

[Word Nerd]

No, but I bought a Kindle book yesterday and another a few days before that.

[zoobie]

I bought an Instant Pot and shoes for oldest DD.

[Tap]

Not today but in the past week.lol a hint... Refilling the first aide kit.

Abarat our other copy is literally falling apart and dad's boyfriend wants to read it
Steri strip bandages
Blue tooth adapter to go from pc to xbox controller
Bandages

Gauze pads

 

And...this week so far

From Up on  Poppy Hill movie

Replacement charger for Nabi

Telfa bandages

Small portable batery for my cell phone to keep in my car (tired of my phone dying watching my daughter cheer)

Waterproof spray for a backpack.

Rubber corks for carbonated bottles.

LIquid chalk markers

 

[texasmama]

Not today, but I bought an algebra text yesterday.

[magnificent_baby]

My delivery today was...

 

Bicycle kickstand

Bubblewrap

Deodorant

Ponytail holders

Spin Pins

 

Talk about random! If I don't need something right away, I put it on my wishlist and make one large order.

[trulycrabby]

...oh yes, that reminds me...binders! :)

[blondeviolin]

I bought an mp3 album.

[MrsMommy]

Is it bad that I can't remember? I know I ordered something either yesterday or today, but either I'm on Amazon too much, or the days are running together, and I'm not sure...

 

At any rate, I ordered a Lego: The Hobbit set for us to build when we finish reading the book. I'm thinking I may just steal the Thorin minifig for myself!

[xixstar]

I bought an Instant Pot and shoes for oldest DD.

The instant pot has been in my cart for months and months. I watch the price to back and forth so often and still don't pull the trigger.

[ondreeuh]

I bought a self help book for one of my kids, lol.

 

Over the past few days I've placed several orders because I got the bug to load up on educational games and keep finding more. The first set was supposed to arrive today but UPS never showed. :(

[Jann in TX]

I bought some tea (the drink --people!)  Vanilla Nut Decaf... my local store no longer carries it.  I got a great deal too...  This is one of my favorite 'afternoon' flavors to relax with.

[Liz CA]

So...now there is free shipping without prime? Prime has not been worth it for me but I read something about free no rush shipping or is it still just for Prime users?

[MeghansMom]

I bought one of Janice Van Cleave's science experiment books, that Momables lady lunch ideas book, the wig to go with Madeline Hatter costume. 

[medawyn]

Me!

 

Basket ball hoop for my toddler (sooooo much easier than driving to Toys R Us)

 

a book (or two... maybe three, but I think one)

 

and replacement lovies for the same toddler who has started carrying his around everywhere, making me dread impending loss. Hoping rotating works out.

 

I have other stuff in my cart - these were just the things I pushed the button for today :-)

[Arcadia]

Only whatever I might like from their free apps offer today for my kids kindles.

[edelweiss]

I bought two sports bras from Amazon today.  I typically order from Amazon 2-3 times a week.  I order much more than that at Christmas though.

[melbotoast]

I watched an episode of Lark Rise to Candleford, but I didn't order anything else today.

[shukriyya]

I wonder how typical we are. It seems like most of the purchases on this thread weren't school-related. Here's a page with some interesting Amazon stats. I didn't realize they were 20 years old. They have 209 million users, 20 million of whom are Prime customers.

[PinkyandtheBrains.]

Cat food, half the cost of pet store and I don't have to leave the house.

[mom2samlibby]

Yes, I bought vitamins. It was easier than running across town to the chiro's office to buy them. They were cheaper, also.

 

I bought a Kreg Jig foreman yesterday.

[Barbara H]

The instant pot has been in my cart for months and months. I watch the price to back and forth so often and still don't pull the trigger.

 

Me too. I'm thinking maybe I'll get it for Christmas. I'd love to hear reviews from anyone who gets one. I'm wondering about the 7 in one option to make yogurt.

[zoobie]

The instant pot has been in my cart for months and months. I watch the price to back and forth so often and still don't pull the trigger.

Me too! I finally did today. I was looking at another slow cooker because ours is getting wonky, and I figured I might as well get the Instant Pot! I hope it comes early enough on Saturday to try something in it! :)

[SilverMoon]

I have two books (Harry Potter), a DVD (history documentary), and a supplement sitting in my cart at the moment. I will probably add a cheap physics textbook before I check out tomorrow.

[kitten18]

Gah! You all are so bad. I had not even heard of the instant pot, now I have one in my cart.

It will probably stay there for months.

[mathnerd]

I bought a bicycle seat for my DS, one Critical Thinking Co book for DS, a single player game for him as well. 

[Myeightkiddies]

My Prime membership ran out a couple weeks ago.  It's amazing how much I don't shop there when I don't have Prime.  

[KrissiK]

I did. Since dd is starting algebraic type stuff on math and not understanding it, I bought Balance Benders from Critical Thinking Co. It helped DS a lot, so I figured it would be good for her.

 

I also got a package from them - a brayer and some ink. We're doing printmaking in art.

[Laura Corin]

I try not to use Amazon if I can help it these days.  The company pays very little tax in the UK, through various legal but (to me) rather sneaky means, so I'd rather support companies that do pay tax.  The last two purchases I made were through the website of a high street book shop, and a UK online-only classical music company.

[Lisbeth]

I did...various oils to use for OCM for my oldest daughter and me. Tamanu, argan, jojoba, apricot kernal. :)

[Lisbeth]

Oh, and we received several season of Dr. Who, Merlin, and Sherlock. :)

[Mrs Mungo]

I bought 2 books, a new razor head for dh and....umm....there was something else, I forget.

[lailasmum]

I bought a toy as a gift today. I feel like I order a lot but going from my order history it's not as much as I think.

[stripe]

I bought the Instant Pot directly from the company with a coupon from Hip Pressure Cooking (it was $10 off) that made it less than Amazon; I'm not sure it's cheaper anymore but their current coupon is $50 off $174.95 or something.

I was using it for a while but haven't lately. Maybe with the cool weather? Hmm

 

Warning: the gasket (rubbery thing) holds smells. I wrote to the company and they admitted it does that and suggested I buy another one (and swap depending on use, I guess). None of the soaking and cleaning ideas I had really worked; after making some vege stew, it really smelled like onions and spices. I don't have this problem with other pressure cookers; not sure what that's about. Just wanted to mention it.

 

I got sick of Amazon's slow shipping and have been ordering from Barnes & Noble instead to avoid the $35 orders (because I am a member) and because they charge tax, which helps me out at tax time. I also buy occasionally from Book Depository and buy a fair amount used. Anyway the last order I bought from Amazon was free shipping but shipped much quicker than usual! I was surprised.

[Lizzie in Ma]

Yup, free Algebra book

[chiguirre]

I bought violin rosin, a plush Mickey Mouse and two hard to find Disney Cars characters on Wednesday. I buy at least several items every week and a big grocery order once a month.
