So I got that $25 gift card from when I got my internet set up, yeah? And what better way to spend it than at Amazon! Thusly I have spent the last half hour doggedly trying to create a cart that adds up to exactly $25 (which is the minimum needed for free shipping). I haven't done this much earnest math since who knows when, and I have come to the conclusion that Amazon prices its products such that nothing will add up to $25.

Know what adds up to $25? My electricity bill. It would be depressingly prosaic to use such a windfall on my electricity bill.

And I really didn't mind trawling through hundreds of pages after sorting by price (it did give me "but, but... Barbarians?" so its not all bad.

You still have to purchase 25 dollars worth of stuff at Amazon to get free shipping in the states???!!! It's only 5 pounds worth of stuff you have to purchase at Amazon in the UK now (It used to be 15...). It's too tempting sometimes!
