I wanted to buy two books on Amazon. To my luck I end up being a few bucks short of the $35 minimum to qualify for free shipping. I have to pay $6.99 for delivery.
Since one of the books is 49% off I should just pay the $6.99 but I can’t bring myself to do that. I don’t want to pay for shipping.
I’d buy toilet paper as I need that but I wanted to use my Amazon gift card (I got for my birthday) to pay for the order. I don’t want to spend the gift card on toilet paper. Guess I won’t be buying these books right now. Unless I find something else I need that I’d want to use the gift card on.

I hope you can find something to buy to qualify for the free shipping soon. Are there are any other books you are interested in? What books were you trying to buy today?

The Ragpicker King by Cassandra Clare and Sync by Ellen Hopkins. I’m $1.86 short of free shipping.

@lovebuglena I think I recognize the first author, but I have no idea about the second author. That's a shame.

@lilacskies Ellen Hopkins is known for writing novels in verse. To qualify for free shipping I ended up getting another book. It was nine bucks and change.

Getting another book did the trick but probably I didn’t really save money as it was around $9.

My gift cards usually cover cat food and a little something for myself and I manage to get free shipping. How about some cans of food or soda?

Is there another book you could buy to make up the shortfall?

I did. Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. It was $9 and change.
