Shopping and Shopping

I can't believe Christmas is almost here. I've been shopping up a storm but I have not been running myself ragged. As many of you know, I love amazon.com, but I also love other Internet shopping. Mostly I love the hunt. I love finding an item at the best possible price. Many times the best possible price happens because of the tremendous buying power of amazon.com combined with no tax and free shipping. At other Internet sites, I always look for coupon codes before I closed the deal. The other day I helped a friend buy a video game for her husband. I directed her to an electronics site I like because amazon.com did not have any copies available. The store was listed as an amazon.com alternative seller, but by going directly, shipping was cheaper and they had a deal that by paying through Google Checkout you saved $5.00 (and no tax). Tonight I was shopping on the company site for a product and did a quick Internet search for a coupon code and found one that saved me 30% (again, no tax and they offered free shipping). I was really surprised when the coupon worked. Finding the perfect gift is great and not paying full retail is even better! Tonight is my last chance to order from amazon.com for receipt before Christmas so I better finalize my purchases. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
