Things I need to buy

• Lavender essential oil
• a large Moleskine sketchbook (I’m using it for a wine journal, I haven’t taken up sketching)
• Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”
• a pair of jeans 
• a bottle of Bliss something-or-other whose name I’ve forgotten (just a little pick-me-up)

All five items are sitting in my Amazon cart and the total is astounding me. I can’t wrap my mind on spending all of that money at one time on something that isn’t a plane ticket. Purchased separately, each item would probably be full retail price and taxed, not to mention sold in vastly different parts of the area. Purchased together, they would be cheaper and delivered straight to me. How do you wrap your mind around shopping this way?
