ryanreactsYesterday I spent $380 on gas plus Walmart, then another $80 on Amazon because a few non-perishable things I really wanted from Walmart were out of stock, like the two Rapid Mac Cookers and the peanut butter powder. A few hours later, I also paid $13 for this bag.
I need a new laptop. I was planning to spend $200 on a newer version of this one, but in my shopping around I found one with a bigger screen for only $184!!! I ordered that just now, along with a new portable speaker for the dish pit and the first two Tiffany Aching books, making the total cost $239. When I placed the order, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the laptop is apparently going to arrive tomorrow. I'm not going to fret over it, but if that actually does happen it would be great.
After placing three orders in two days, I figured I should renew my month-long free trial of Prime, which ends today. $15 is worth it for the free shipping alone. Sometime soon I'm going to treat myself to a month of Paramount Plus for Yellowjackets and the new Mean Girls (and Monster High, if they have that).
I hope summer really is as busy as Jenn says, because all that overtime will make it very easy to continue my goal of saving at least $1,000 a month, even though we have to start paying rent.
