Know What You Want Ahead of Time To Save Time and Money!

I have never been much of a "shopper". Even when shopping online I have more than a vague idea of what I am looking for. I also have a budget in mind and know if there is any flexibility.
This way of doing things came in handy today. I have needed to replace my cell phone for some time now.

I was going to buy it online but because I have a prepaid plan I had to call their sales number on the phone.

Here's the link to the phone if you want to know more of the tech specs:

I am not an affiliate for US Cellular or Samsung.

Just FYI

I ended up on the phone for about 24 minutes.
3-5 Business day shipping is free.
I didn't pay the extra 5 dollars to get it maybe a day sooner. The phone I am using still works.
My total with local sales tax was $105.49.
Not too shabby.

Still way less time I would have spent if we had gone to the store.
For me that is a huge win!

And I will be looking for a hard case this time probably with a kick stand that will rotate.
