What a fantastic idea for a thread!

I’ll go with my first three, from oldest to newest:

1) Dogma DVD (2002)
2) NOW That’s What I Call Christmas CD (2004)
3) Tupac: Resurrection CD (2005)

What I think is interesting is that I only ordered one thing each of these years and didn’t order anything in 2003. Now, we don’t even go a week without ordering something, let alone a year.

I've never purchased anything on Amazon, but I'm sure I paid for a bunch of stuff.

Word to the wise -- do NOT buy any ironing board covers! They are about 6" too short. And I thought an ironing board was a standard size.

I'm so glad it made someone else interested! It was sort of fascinating to me.

There was a VERY heavy tilt for me at some point, and now I order as frequently as you!

Mine certainly took off once I signed up for Prime. They started that in 2007, so I probably signed up in 2009/2010 or somewhere around there. Now we have the Prime Visa card, which gets me 5% back on anything purchased through amazon.

We still really only buy things we need and aren't flippant about it, but I would guess we average 10 orders a month for needs.
