Decisions, Decisions....

This is the last day of the Perry Mason Amazon sale. I was desperately hoping my gift card would come this week, but it hasn't. So ... do I pass up the sale, or do I ask Dad for at least enough money as a loan that I could get the one volume I want most? I'd have to try Amazon Prime's free trial if I did that, since it wouldn't be enough to qualify for the Free Shipping.

The volume I want most fluctuates in price a lot. Right now it's approximately $20 (a penny less, heh). It's ran between $23 and $31 lately, otherwise. Usually only cheaper when I can't get it, aurgh.

Also, I still have that dream of getting a big Shadow plush that's furry. I finally found the one I'd decided was the best of the furry ones that's affordable, but it's slightly more expensive than I'd hoped. Do I buy it or not? I already have two Shadows, one small and furry and one large and not furry. I feel so guilty to have more than one plush of a character, but I only do it if I feel like the other plush has something to offer that I really want but don't have with my current plush(ies). And also if I like the character enough. I won't do it for just any character.

I hate when things are cheaper when I have NO money versus them being overpriced when I have the money. Very annoying. :( I hope you were able to get things worked out, and you made a good decision you're happy with.

It is so totally frustrating.

In the end I decided that I really didn't want to borrow the money and I would just wait and hope that when my gift card comes, the DVD volume I want will be at the lower end of the price spectrum. Since its cheapest price is only about $3 more than the sale price, it didn't seem worth it to go into debt over it.

That makes complete sense to me! Good for you. <3
