So I want to buy the Alone in the Dark sound track, and it's 14 bucks at amazon.com or 19 bucks at Barnes and Noble.
Both have a 3 dollar standard shipping (3 days)
I have a 20 dollar gift card for Barnes and Noble and a 15% off coupon code for one item at BN.
The final totals are (after taxes & shipping) $20.70 at BN and $16.97 at Amazon.
Now the dilemma is where I buy it from. Yes, the obvious choice at first glance is Amazon, but my gift card is for Barnes and Noble. If I use it for BN, I'll drain it dry with little cost to my actual funds. If I buy from Amazon, I get it for cheaper but I must use my actual money rather than this nice convenient gift card.
I don't know if saving the gift card is worth much, because a little recon browsing and I'm finding BN to be fairly inflexible with their prices and fairly expensive as well, so I don't know if I'd want to come back to BN.
Still, the BN is a 20 dollar value as opposed to spending 14 in cash...
