I know it's a mistake, but yet, I still...

^Yep

Shop at Trader Joe's without a strict list.

At least it is for food stuff. I do this at Target and know that every.single.time. I will impulse buy all kinds of crap there.

I ALWAYS end up regretting eating bread. I convince myself that it must have been something else that gave me an upset stomach. Nope. I'll eat it maybe twice a month and regret it every. fucking. time.

But you don't HAVE to go to the post office. Your mailman will pick up the packages. And shipping costs less when you do it online through USPS.com

Really?? Did not know that!

So how do you make sure the weight is right? Is a kitchen scale trustworthy?

[HouseofWool]

If you use one of the priority mail boxes then the weight doesn't matter. Otherwise, kitchen scale for small items (under 10 pounds) or bathroom scale for bigger things.

Flat rate is cool beans for up to 75 lbs. Should be just ducky unless you're sending some gold bars via USPS.

And if you are shipping gold bars, you need to send them to me!

Dammit, you beat me to it.

And on the USPS website, they will ship you those boxes for free. Or at least they used to.

We've used the kitchen scale for golf clubs...

This is the one I linked to in another thread. Looks like it had a price increase though

We reuse Amazon boxes for Click and Ship too

I wondered about that. But then I'd have to figure out how it's done (ie weight, etc.) and sometimes it's got pre-paid shipping for UPS but they won't pickup unless I pay an extra charge.

But....mostly, I'm just lying to myself that I'm not spending that much money and I actually intend to keep both items. Hence, the "I know it's a mistake but yet I..." quality. I know I'm keeping both dresses, both pairs of jeans, etc. as surely as I know I'm not putting away that basket of laundry.

-There is a fantastic Italian restaurant with tons of offerings that we occasionally go to. I get the pasta every. damn. time. which I justify because "it's a special occasion." And every f'ing time I spend all night curled up in pain. Stoopid.

-Give certain people another chance when time and again they have proven they can't be trusted. Sigh.

Stick around me for a bit. I can fix that...

I heart you DD.

-Watch reality tv knowing that I'm going to get mad and start yelling at the tv

-Pick up the phone when someone calls really late, hoping it won't last long...an hour later...
