"Your order has been shipped."

I wasn't able to check my email until this afternoon and to my surprise I have this one email saying:

"Your Amazon.com order has shipped."

I wondered what order was that email talking about that shipped so I opened and read the email. Apparently I placed an order for a food dehydrator that I didn't even know about!

Last night I browsed at food dehydrators. Just curious at how much they cost because I just bought some sun dried tomatoes and they're really expensive so I thought I can consider making them and other dried stuff in the future. I read reviews and found good ones for the Nesco snack master. I then compared prices and found the best deal at Amazon.

Few days ago I ordered a waterpik and thought I'd try the Prime service since it's free for 30 days. I ordered it Friday afternoon and Monday at lunch waterpik was here! =) Anyway, back to last night, while I was browsing at the dehydrator (Nesco in particular) my page looked different. It had two buttons aside from the add to cart or checkout. One button said overnight shipping and the other one 2 day shipping. I clicked 2 day shipping not aware that that was actually an action of purchasing already! I didn't know until I opened my email this afternoon. Gees!

It was an unnecessary purchase and on top of that I got an overdraft in my bank since I was not ready for that purchase! Oh how I hate that! =(

What better way to learn your lesson huh??!

Next time, really be careful so you don't make unnecessary purchases like I did! You see, married life is not about splurging or spending all the money our husbands worked hard for. They sure want us (wives) to be happy but that doesn't include slowly bankrupting your relationship. I told my husband I'm very sorry for this unnecessary purchase and he was pretty much ok with it. I would have saved that money for something else but perhaps and I hope that it will save us money to be able to make our own dried fruits for trail mix, dried herbs and what not.

On the brighter side I'll be making dried fruits for snacks sometime soon! =)

I hope you have a wonderful day!
