Buying for Fun

Sometimes it isn't about buying things out of need, but just for fun. Case in point:

Staples has MS Flight Simulator 2002 for $19.99.
Amazon has MS Flight Simulator 2002 for $14.99.
MS has a $20 rebate.

Staples has a cool new stapler, called the Desktop Stapler with Staple Gun Power, on sale for $12.99.
Staples sent me a $5 off coupon for the stapler.

So, I ordered both. Here's how the math worked out:
$19.99 (MS Flight) + $12.99 (stapler) - $5 (coupon) + $2.42 (tax) = $30.40
$30.40 - $20 (rebate) - $5.97 (PM) - $.56 (FatCash) - $.24 (cc cash back) = $3.63.
