Hello, my name is Kyley and I am addicted to online
shopping.
But seriously, I think I might have a problem. I’m blaming it (primarily) on my Amazon prime
account. If you don’t have an Amazon
prime account you may not be able to imagine how much stronger the temptation
to buy things is. You basically NEVER
have to pay shipping. No shipping! It’s so easy to just click, buy, and in two
days someone BRINGS IT TO YOUR FRONT DOOR.

| Pretty typical cart size. But not really. I'm not there yet. |
It’s freaking unprecedented!
I’m not even bothered to minimize my number of orders because it
literally does not matter! The only good
things I can come up with about this whole situation are 1) My Christmas
shopping is basically done and I've barely left my apartment. And 2) I’m more selective about my other
online shopping because I go through the internal thought process of, “Why do I
have to pay shipping? I don’t want to
pay shipping. I don’t need this.”
That said, I still have a problem. I buy way more than the average person does
on Amazon. The people in the leasing
office have noticed how often I get packages.
The worst part? Sometimes the UPS
man leaves them at my door. AKA the
leasing office only knows about a portion of my addiction!
And in case you're wondering what brought on this diatribe, it's that I just bought something on Amazon that was not "prime eligible," meaning I had to pay shipping. It still cost significantly less than it would have in a store, but I hesitated because of that shipping cost. I am spoiled. First. World. Problems.

In other news I’m contemplating just promising my first born to Amazon in exchange
for unlimited buying power. That’s fair,
right?
