this christmas feels like the very first christmas to me
:shittydog::shittydog::shittydog:
Give me just the tips about internet shopping, especially since it is coming to yosmas or w/e.

Here's my internet shopping story:
The cheapest way to get console games here is to buy them from a shop based in the uk and they ship them half way around the world. Yes this is cheaper than buying it digitally on teh playstation store. I bought two games but I had 2 dollars to go before the free shipping cutoff, and the shipping costs $2.70. So I found teh cheapest item in teh shop with price > $2 that i would use ( a mug on clearance). By purchasing this mug I saved 20c. This meant they gave me free shipping, and they shipped the games and mug separately. So they paid me 20c to send me another item across half teh planet in a different box. bonus they labelled the mug as "optical media" for customs.

tl;dr: uk company pays me 20c to send a mug to nz in a separate box.
