I don't normally post at night as I usually update in the morning but I'm putting this here because I am an idiot and just wasted $4.49 and as a reminder to myself I'm putting this on my website.
We are starting up low carb and sugar free again, so today I placed a couple orders online for items I have a hard time finding locally or cost too much locally. One of the things I like is Honeyville's brand of almond flour. It's a finer grain than other brands and it's much better than the almond flour I grind myself. It's expensive - so it usually takes me two days to convince myself to spend the money and order it (hitting that 'send' button is so hard for a frugal person like me!) but in the end, I do, and I did. I was down to half a bag, so I knew I needed to purchase more.
I order straight from Honeyville's site, where their price fluctuates a little but is currently $35.99 and shipping is $4.49. The order was placed this morning. Done. Over.
But I just whipped up some brownies (in the oven as I type this) and as I walked out of the kitchen it hit me. Amazon. I bet I could have saved on shipping through Amazon. Sure enough - there it was. The exact Honeyville Blanched Almond Meal Flour, 5 lb.
bag that I ordered... but with free 2 day free shipping. Darn!! I could have saved almost 5 bucks. Be smarter than me. Check Amazon before hitting that send button!
