But it hasn't paid for itself, you still need to claim the taxes you temporarily avoided by buying on the internet.

Although, when you pay the use taxes on your state tax return, don't you just pay the state tax? When you go to a store or are forced to pay it online, you have to pay state + local + municipality taxes (if those exist for you). For example, Alabama lists the general use tax rate as 4%, but purchases made in-store or online with a local presence are taxed at 8% (4% state + 4% county/local). So, even though people still like to preclude taxes, you usually pay less taxes.

Hellsing Ultimate: Volumes 5-8 Collection (Blu-ray/DVD Combo)
Hellsing Ultimate: Volumes 1-4 Collection [Blu-ray/DVD Combo]

I saw those on sale the other day, but I hesitated a bit since they're still missing episodes 9 and 10. I would imagine that we'll get a full collection once they're out.

Neat little trick, my AmEx card gives me 6% cash back on grocery store purchases (but only 1% on Amazon). So just before I make a large purchase, I go to the grocery store and buy an Amazon gift card for roughly the amount I'm going to spend. They have custom value cards that you can load up in any amount.

Hmm that's not a bad idea, but for my Chase Freedom, grocery store purchases are one of the revolving types. If I want a permanent 5% off, I just go to Target. If I remember correctly, the only gift card they won't discount would be their own, but PlayStation Network, Amazon, etc. are fair game.

Just added it all up (I had to buy MS Office first). So far this year I spent $8,096.55! A lot more than I thought!

2 orders for a total of $45

Spent more at Newegg.com thanks to a few shell shocker deals.
