so, amazon was running a “buy $125 worth of stuff, get $25 off” promotion. i bought $167.97-$25.00=$144.97 worth of stuff. the promotion ended yesterday and the prices dropped on the items i had purchased. total cost of the purchase today would be… $144.97.
lamest promotion evar!
Sorry, but Best Buy has amazon beat. I’d link you to it, but it’s from an email for Rewards Club members only, which makes it even more lame (OOOH WOW THE BENEFITS AND SAVINGS FROM MY EXCLUSIVE MEMBERSHIP):

ONE WEEK ONLY! Uh, looking at that exclusion list, what can I buy?
I’m still amused by some of the ‘list price’ savings Amazon tries to make you think you’re getting. Yes, I’d better be grateful I can buy American Wasteland from them for only $65 because apparently I’d have to pay almost $90 anywhere else…
DVDs?
The more you buy, the more you save!
Home theater equipment isn’t excluded.
Groovy. I thought maybe that was “Home Life.”
