Ai-yi-yi.

Somewhere along the line I discovered that if I have an impulse to buy something, I can curb it by shoving it in my Amazon cart and walking away. This works REALLY WELL - if I have the money later, I can buy it then, and I don't buy it when I really don't have the cash!

Except that if I need to buy something else I need to shove a lot of things out of the cart into "save for later" and, um, I'm not really sure I want to say how many things are in there.

I've started deleting things I'll either never buy or will look up again if I decide I need, and I've also begun moving games and puzzles into a bona fide wishlist but after a good hour of work I've still yet to reach the bottom. It doesn't help that Amazon insists on endless scroll instead of sensible page numbers, nor that once you've spent more than a minute on the page it automatically refreshes the entire thing if you delete an item. Maybe I should start another list or two for other things? Adding things onto lists rather than the cart is such a hassle, though.
