The stupid minimum of $25 to get add-on items. Why does this exist aside from being frustrating? Tonight I spent around 45 minutes trying every combination of add-on items and was only able to get 1 item that I needed (cuttlebone), 1 item that I wanted (a book) and 1 item that I only added to fill the cost (writing pens).

Wish they'd either remove the limit or let you check out if you have a certain number of add-on items in your cart.

Looks like there are ways to get around it.

Yeah by having items that total a little under by my budget.

Just have a list of staples and use those to hit the minimums.

I had a cuttlebone, iodine block and mineral block as my usual staples but with a $35 budget, I don't think it would've been possible without several packs of pens.

Normally have more money but saving $50 to get a Palamute amiibo (since IDK the Canadian price for it).

things are usually only add-on items when theyve got free shipping and are priced low enough that they arent actually a profitable item to ship at that price

so its a good deal to throw into a cart if youre already buying a few things but yeah if not then you can always find the item listed at a higher price and buy it on its own

@FatalAccident A cuttlebone is the internal shell from a cuttlefish (you've seen them; they usually look like striped squid with much shorter tentacles; the entire animal is only about 6-10 inches long). Bird owners get them for the birds as a dietary supplement for calcium.

There used to be a website where you could enter how much you needed to hit the $25 minimum to get free shipping and it would display a list of items that would put you over the limit. But that was a long time ago back before Prime started and I don't have the link anymore.

the bird eats the whole thing or the owner chops it up and feeds it to the bird?

any particular reason why its considered such a good source of calcium (other than its rich in calcium)? Like why cant humans eat it for all dat calcium too?

The birds gnaw on them.

Human teeth aren't really designed to munch on bone

IIRC you just strap it to the branch or cage where it can nibble on it as needed. I don't think it's so much a 'good source' as it is 'a good source for birds'. I.E. the reason they use it is the bone is workable by most pet birds and their beaks.
