A good deal, and books I really want to read, very soon.
I've been drawn in my Amazon again. This month they offered £3 credit for a £10 spend.

I wasn't going to fall for that. Not at all.

And then I realised that I'd already spent £4.97 during the qualifying period. If I spent another £5.03 or more today, I'd get a £3 credit next month.

£5 of books for £2 seemed too good to pass up, so I bought a book at £5.50 that I've had my eye on for nearly two years, and it hasn't budged in price.

Yes, I've fallen for it again. £16.34 spent last month, and now £15.94 spent this month. OK, £10.94 really this month, since £5 was credits.

But my average spend from February-September was just £7.45. Even including a rather disastrous January, my average spend was only £9.48.

Amazon certainly have my number!
