A few weeks ago Mike at Saving Money Today reported that he's spent a grand total of $2703.59 at Amazon since his first order in August 2000. I replied to Mike's post, urging him to use someone's (hint, hint) affiliate link before shopping at Amazon. Since then he's had a few more replies with others sharing (confessing?) how much they've spent at Amazon. That prompted me to take a look… are you ready?
Here we go… I opened my account at Amazon back in 1999 and since then I've purchased $3,485.49.
Here's a quick rundown by the years:
- 1999 – $58.39
- 2000 – $145.27
- 2001 – $19.33
- 2002 – $20.05
- 2003 – $0
- 2004 – $66.30
- 2005 – $72.87
- 2006 – $207.80
- 2007 – $416.84
- 2008 – $513.60
- 2009 – $1035.43
- 2010 – $929.61
In 2008, 2009 and 2010, these figures include a few purchases by Mr. A's business, so it wasn't just me frivolously spending. 😉
Okay, your turn. How much have you spent at Amazon?
I’m afraid to look!

Yikes, I can’t even imagine how much I have spent at Amazon. I probably have everyone beat as I do a lot of my Christmas shopping there, and I just ordered a laptop too. (Using an affiliate link, of course.) I also buy a lot of my kid’s textbooks there too, and shop for out of town birthday presents that can be shipped there for free.
I am an Amazon junkie.

Woah, far less than that… maybe a couple hundred 😉

I know know how much I have spent but a lot. I do use swagbucks to get free amazon cards though.

Hey Mrs A! That’s a lot of spending for you too. Quite a few of my purchases are considered business expenses too so I guess the total isn’t so bad.

I just added up everything in the past 12 months…can’t believe I spent over $13,000
