My robot vacuum Roomba will arrive anytime now, which I ordered on cyber monday. Couldn't be more excited, haha! I find it quite difficult to stop reading what I'm reading because I get distracted of the dirt on the floor.

Amazon’s biggest-selling item on Cyber Monday? Take a guess

Additionally, I was becoming quite displeased with Prime delivery. An increasing number of packages were failing to arrive within the promised two-day widow. |

This is a list of the stores I used for BF/CM shopping in descending order of dollars spent. Notice how I spent the least amount at Amazon.

I also took the opportunity to cancel Prime as I wasn't watching any video and my packages NEVER came in 2 days, more like 5 to my PO Box address -- because I don't live in or near a warehouse or big city I guess. Getting to love Walmart free delivery and ship-to-store, and gave Best Buy some Black Friday love after a long hiatus. |

Oh, robot vacuums are great! Once you get used to having one vacuum every day, it's hard to be without it, especially if you have pets shedding all over the place.

My renewal date is mid-February. So that gives me a little time to see how Hulu works out; using the app, I found quite a few shows to watch. If I don't renew Prime, I could pick it up again in July for Prime Day when there might be a special offer. I dunno.

As to video services for me, Prime = Netflix = Hulu. One's as good as the other. No matter which service I use, there's always more than enough programming on any of them to keep me happy. There are no must-watch shows for me. |

Hulu's a great deal now, but after a year when it's full price again, Prime seems better. |

I had Hulu for a while, the commercials were pretty annoying, so I went back to watching Prime. But letting Prime lapse and waiting for a better deal to restart sounds like a good plan. I don't watch that often, it won't hurt me to have a few commercials. I also have free Pandora for a year, so I won't miss Prime music that much.

All of my BF/CM orders have arrived, except for my Dot 3s from Target. They're still backordered.

Between now and Christmas, many of the BF/CM items will go on sale, but at higher prices. The Dot 3, for example, is still on sale, but now it's $6 higher in price. That'll be the trend, with some exceptions.
