So, you may have already noticed, but Newspaper Blackout is dirt-cheap on Amazon.
How cheap? $10.39.
The trouble is, it’s so cheap that it doesn’t qualify for Amazon’s free super-saver shipping deal.
Have no fear, I’ve got you covered. Here are some awesome combinations of stuff I love that will put you reasonably close to $25:
| 1 |  |
+ |  |
= | $25.53 | ||
| 2 | |
+ | |
+ |  |
= | $26.26 |
| 3 | |
+ |  |
+ |  |
= | $26.33 |
| 4 | |
+ |  |
= | $26.48 | ||
| 5 | |
+ |  |
= | $26.86 | ||
| 6 | |

= | $31.17 |
Pre-order Newspaper Blackout, the book New York Magazine calls “highbrow/brilliant”!
I discovered a handy site that lists possible “filler” items to put you over the $25 limit when you order stuff from Amazon:

It’s really nice to no longer have to struggle to find a $1 or $2 item that qualifies for free shipping when you have an order that adds up to about $24.
DB – that’s actually the site that inspired this post :-D
Clever! Silly to pay almost as much in shipping as for the book itself.
