Clicking Ouch

I have been happiy clicking on items on my Amazon account. Saw a lot of really nice stuff that I tried to catch on lightning deals. Also, most importantly, the books or Blu-Ray discs I am buying are at half the price than those in the shops in Singapore!!! Unless they place 50% discounts on their items, even for the new ones, I guess my discs and books will continue to ship in from USA. Sigh. How am I to help the local economy when it prices itself out of the market for the locals?
