I have a teeeeeeny problem when it comes to shopping, and it doesn’t help when you wake up to 25 promo emails every morning. For lazy people like me, online shopping is like a dream. That is, until you get deep into this cycle:
1. The Sale Email
Waking up to what you thought would be a horrible day, rolling over and looking through your emails to see… 50% OFF!!
2. Mentally preparing yourself not to overbuy
I always tell myself there are some things I need more than others.
3. But then…
You see everything you’ve ever wanted (I mean e v e r y t h i n g)
4. You get a little too excited and start loading your cart
Psht what’s a budget? What’s a job? What is rent?
5. You finally go to your cart
You see some good deals. You’re pretty proud of yourself.
6. Calculate Shipping
If there’s one thing I hate, it’s paying for shipping. You see your total plus $12 in shipping… I don’t think so. You ain’t scamming me.
7. Sadness
You’re forced to give up everything until the next promotion, which will hopefully have free shipping.
Of course this cycle eventually repeats with the new emails you get everyday. Next thing you know, all your online carts of full of items you will never pay shipping for.
