I’ve got two PJ Harvey records in my box, but am really waffling on the third choice
I have 9 LPs in my cart and am just hoping that the sale lasts until my next payday.

I had it up to 7 items and had to whittle that down to 3.

Any idea if you can order more?

Buy 4 Get 2? Or go back in and get 3 more items?

My first three were:

Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters
The Mountain Goats - Getting Into Knives
M. Ward - Think of Spring

All pretty recent releases, and great prices!

My next three up would probably be (if you're looking for ideas):

Jonathan Richman - I, Jonathan
Julien Baker - Sprained Ankle
Beck - Hyperspace

Nah, if you add 4 to your cart, it only cuts off the price of the cheapest one.

If you add 6, you do get a bigger discount, but I'm not sure how it's calculated. When we used to do buy-2-get-3s when I was working retail, it was a headache.

Looks legit, if you buy 6 items, the 3rd most expensive and the 6th most expensive get marked as free.

I took the "no-rush" option to save an extra $1.50. 8-)

Why wouldn’t he send you a 10c gift card? Does he even know his son?

That PJ doesn't repress this makes me think they have a stack of them in their warehouse. Every time Ed starts complaining about the price of eggs, they sell one and send him the proceeds.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

Sure, but he doesn't know the internet. They don't tell 10C cards at Walgreens.
