Beware of Bargains

A short time ago, we got a hot tip from a source that shall remain un-named. We were advised that one could purchase the new Lemony Snicket book, "The Penultimate Peril" at a 20% discount from Amazon.com. So we proceded to order our copy, post haste. It was $9.20 cents plus shipping which totaled $13.99. That very afternoon, we had occasion to visit our Cosco store. What should we see upon entering but a huge stack of "The Penultimate Peril". The price? $6.99. So the moral of this story is, BEWARE OF BARGAINS.

I am innocent...it wasn't me who suggested Amazon. I have too much of a need for instant gratification. If I buy something I want to have it today. Hopefully you are enjoying the book anyway. I have only read two Lemony Snicket books but really enjoyed them.

Cosco usually does have great prices, especially on books and movies. I just wish there was one in Elko!

Did you read it yet? I just finished it and was wondering what you think of it!
