I kicked VMP's ass this month.
2A record four orders in April, so far: Fukobukuro, Lantern, Contigo Mugs and an 'M' logo shirt. That's up 400% over any previous month where I seem to only find one item a month I like to break-even on VMP.
Either Meh found finally the ACraigL buying algorithm, or standards have been lowered.
Who has the actual record for number or purchases made in a single month?

I suspect it's @unixrab. I think he secretly buys something everyday and continues to hate VMP.
@lumpthar
@unixrab It makes sense if you don't think about it.
@lumpthar
I had 10 purchases in September 2014.
@cengland0
@cengland0 nice! So you only paid $.50 shipping per order! Well done!
@unixrab Yes, that's right. It's only logical to pay for VMP instead of shipping since they are the same price. You're the only person that thinks otherwise or at least the only person that is outspoken about it.
10 This month so far... Meh you have a few days left... Want more money? Make the last day a good one!
11 Last month.
@sohmageek good enough for me to order one of each. Kids toys go through a lot of batteries. And I think one is lower than the other but I ordered one of each due to my falling aslee at phone.
I bought items on 8 individual days in October 2014, however some days I purchased two or three making it 13 "items" for that month. What's really bad is adding up the amount spent in the last year...
Five for me! Fuko, Foscam camera, Sylvester MP3 players, Ivation remote controls and this shirt! I'm gobsmacked!
Looks like the most I've purchased in one month is three. But I had to go back into my orders to check, and now I realize that I have things sitting in my basement, still in the boxes, that I forgot about. It's kinda like new stuff all over again!
In January I bought items on 10 days, but duplicates on certain days brings my item total to 13. Does this mean @mehdaf and I are tied or am I winning? =P
One of them was a TV.
This is the first month since I got it that I didn't buy anything. My shirt size was even sold out before I could grab one. :(
@Cappo You've still got tomorrow!
I have purchased at least 1 time per month. My record is 5 purchases in a single month. I average closer to 3
I've had several months with 5 or more purchases and March was the only month I didn't buy anything
My best was five purchases in July, but really all that proves is that I'm a sucker because our VMP is free so really I'm just spending money I didn't need to…
Oh! Shit! I may have a problem? I had to go and look... Jul 3 sale days 5 items,
aug 3S - 5I,
Sep 6s - 12I,

Feb 3s - 4I,
Mar 3S - 3I
and ...
Apr to date 4S - 5I.
I am not going to do the math on the money! (scratching head) I really hadn't considered it in quite a while.
How am I doing? Smile
I had nine purchases in March and five in April. Surprisingly there is very little among the purchases (even the evil fuko) that doesn't get used or hasn't been given to somebody who is putting it to use. The best purchases in order of use: Optiled LED bulbs (wife mentions almost daily how much she likes the brighter kitchen illumination), Bormioli old fashioned barware set (I swear, my Glenlivet tastes much better out of these) and my Kershaw Funxion opened every single meh delivery since then (it has also served to trim plants, cut vegetables, etc.)
Make that five for me now... in for a set of Fugi's.
Gotta up date my April count, total 5 sale days and a total of 8 items.
So excited for the AAA's they are the ones I needed for the speeker docs! Which I bought in July!
Back in February there was a thing I bought and later canceled. I didn't even get VMP on that, so it doesn't really count.
This month I bought one of the Foscams, the MetaWatch, that solar battery pack, and some batteries today, so that's three free shipments in one month of VMP. Yay!
No orders in June. You're welcome for the $5 donation.
July is looking up, with three orders in already, and those were three in a row: Speck Cases, T-Shirt, and Fukubukuro. The buy streak was broken, obs, by the receiver that I don't need.
But a good chance I'm breaking my record of four purchases in a month...
@ACraigL Do they auto-cancel if you go a whole month? Because I didn't buy anything for a while and when I bought those battery 2 packs I had to re-purchase VMP.
@jqubed I think you have to manually cancel. I'm not aware of any auto-cancel -- and a script that turns down a free $5 seems counter-commerce.
@jqubed They don't auto-cancel. If your VMP got canceled, it was because they had some issue charging your cc.
@ACraigL Same here! Three in a row.
So far, I've managed to buy at least one cheap widget a month.
With today's keyboard case, specifically being able to fit a Galaxy Tab S 10.5, I've now tied my record for 4 purchases in a month. AND NOT EVEN halfway finished. Delight me tomorrow, Meh, I dare you.
It took 10 whole days... I thought you lost me Meh, but no, I succumbed to the el cheapo batteries. So that's a new personal record of 5 Meh's in a single month. And over a week left -- what will you do for me tomorrow, I wonder?
The streak continues with the Lightbox. Now up to a personal best of 6 Meh's in a month. I feel like our relationship is really starting to take hold. Don't you?
July still holds the ACraigL record at 6 total purchases in a single month, but today's shirt put me at 4, along with the water sensors, USB drive, and the TENS pain relief pad thingee.
Could you offer three unrefusable items in the next six days to break that record???
(I'm also relieved to note that I have at least one purchase per month since becoming a VMP so no fins wasted, yay).
