Need a few more cents to qualify for free shipping on Amazon?

If you shop on Amazon.com frequently but aren't quite ready to buy an Amazon Prime membership, then you know this situation: Your order comes to $23.82, and you need another $1.18 to qualify for free shipping to avoid paying $3.99 for regular shipping.

Oh the humanity! I just found an awesome site finding a little knickknack to bring your order up to par. SlickFillers features links to an endless array of very cheap items that count toward the free shipping threshold: an 80 cent hose clamp, a book of Thanksgiving stencils, and a book of Biblical answers to common questions, just to name a few of the 1,250 items listed.

Of course, a better alternative is always to use your local library for books, but sometimes you just can't find what you need or don't want to wait 11 weeks for a hot new bestseller.
