Absinthe & Cookies (a bit bitter, a bit sweet)

Lovely!

I wanted to buy a 3 qt Calphalon Tri-Ply saucepan from Amazon. Now, I can't afford the stuff full price, but I keep my eyes out for the occasional 50% sales. There is such a sale currently. It was ten dollars more from Amazon than buying at Macy's through Amazon, but if you bought the Amazon one, you got free shipping, so I chose Amazon since I was also getting a set of Abbott & Costello DVDs for my father's Xmas gift. I went to buy it this morning, but when I got to the checkout stand, their gift certificate redemption function wasn't working, so I quit it. I just went back, and now the pot from Amazon is now the same price as the cheaper Macy's one, but still with free shipping! Woo! Even better, I'm at the last page of checking out, and they offer me a free three month trial of Amazon Prime. So now, I get my pot in two days, instead of nine the free super saver shipping takes! And the rest of my Christmas shopping will be that much cheaper!

I'm easily pleased.
