Amazonaholic

Hi my name is Jenni and I'm addicted to Amazon.com

Oi!  It's so sad really, but I can't help it!  Especially since I've learned of their "Subscribe & Save" program.  And I became a member of Amazon Mom.  I mean c'mon I get Pampers diapers for less than $0.20 a piece!  And we are a Pampers kind of family.  No offense to anyone who uses other brands, but these are what works for Sarah.  It came down to an issue of save a few dollars and change her clothes / due laundry constantly because of leaks or buy the brand that works the best for her body.  But that doesn't mean that I want to spend a fortune on poop catchers...

I used to shy away from online ordering because we have an issue with having things delivered to our apartment.  The delivery guy inevitably comes at a time when no one is home and attempts to redeliver at the same time every day until I have to call the driver and go meet him somewhere for my package.  Yes, I have gone chasing the FedEx truck more than once.  But then I got permission to have my things delivered to work.  It's perfect and thus began my little problem...

You see, I'm a researcher.  I will read and watch reviews of any product I'm interested in.  Nothing is too mundane for me to research and make sure I'm getting what I think will work the best for us.  So Amazon with their customer reviews is a perfect place for me to shop.  It also keeps me on track from buying too much.  I am a sucker for a good ad campaign in stores.  A colorful display or packaging will get my attention every time.  I spend so much money at actual stores.  Whereas, with Amazon, I can search for what I'm looking for and then buy the best product for the best price.  And I have gotten some great deals!  Plus, my orders always qualify for "Free Super Saver Shipping".

Plus, for things that I come across that Sarah isn't quite ready for, they have a nifty wish list so I can put them on there and save them for a later time. I love it!  My wish list is ever growing!  I have things on there for Christmas and her birthday and some for a possible half birthday (You know, bigger ticket items that I don't know that I can wait until Christmas for... (I'm still trying to convince Mike that this is legit) (He's not buying it yet...haha!)

So yeah, I just wanted to share my current obsession.  My name is Jenni and I'm a Amazonaholic.  I would encourage you to go check them out.  But be forewarned.  It is addictive!

And no, this is not a product review, it's just my opinion on my new favorite time sucking website.
