I love to shop! I buy things I need mostly but every once in a while... Amazon is addictive, I can shop for hours for almost anything I could ever want. I read the reviews and choose carefully on even the smallest item. I have an Amazon credit card so it's so easy to click and it's on the way. Therein lies the problem. I actually have to pay for this stuff eventually and interest to boot.
I needed a Porti Potti for my dream trip. It's now snuggled neatly into it's spot in my van, yet to be christened. Good shoes for my Amazon job, gotta have em. They're quite comfortable just like they promised but since I wear them almost daily, it's unlikely that they will last till November. I checked the reviews for insoles too and bought the suggested ones at Wal-Mart. My feet are happy now, my wallet not so much.
Did you know you can get auto parts on Amazon? I saved a bunch on the heater core and the universal joints for my van. Those were necessities, I can't travel in the winter without heat and that annoying clunk could be dangerous. I really needed the dog brush and clipper blade to replace broken equipment too. It's not like I'm just blowing money.
I had to buy a Thermos since I'll be taking my lunch every day and the purple one was on sale. Keeps food hot for 7 hours! It hasn't arrived yet but I'm sure it will come in handy. The tote with the Poodle on it will be perfect to carry it along with everything else I'll need to get through the day. Granted I have other bags that would work just as well but it looks so cute in the picture.
I don't just love shopping online, a store will do just fine. I look for bargains and I find them. Three pairs of really thick socks for $2.19. In a cart at the front of the grocery store would you believe? They have colorful reading glasses for two bucks a pair too. Granted they're not made to last but I either step on them or the puppy carries them off way before they have time to break. I redid my travel trailer floor with peel and stick tiles from Family Dollar. $12 a box and still looks great after six months. The Odd Lots outlet is where I get all my craft supplies and household items.
I've found a way to get paid to do what I love. Every Friday morning I shop for the campground. On the clock and they pay for the gas. I'm careful not to spend too much time browsing for myself but heck if I'm already there...
