39. They are my bookstore, plus a few other things I can't readily find around here. But never, never Prime...

Nearly every item I buy goes towards that “free shipping” pot and I wait till it’s full. Amazon keeps reminding me that over the past year I have spent $15 for shipping and why not sign up for Prime so my shipping will be free. Except Prime would be what? Almost $200 over that same 12 months? Pfft.

I’m really sorry you are in a retail desert — what a pain. Have you ever been to Costco at some point? You might check their online catalog to see what’s there and if it fits your needs, because they also deliver to card-holding customers. Just a thought.
