I've been taking advantage of that firm that gives fast <a href="http://www.purposecashadvance.com/FAQ.aspx" rel="nofollow">cash advances, payday loans</a>, and stuff like that just for shopping. Nobody really influences me to do this. I just really love shopping. I have to make a resolution. I won't get a <a href="http://www.purposecashadvance.com/PaydayLoan-Utah.aspx" rel="nofollow">payday loan. Utah</a> malls, you won't be seeing me for a long time.<br /><br />Once again, thanks for the tips!Sofia Brittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415987867800974710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-55547847274556520662010-12-20T20:52:54.957-08:002010-12-20T20:52:54.957-08:00I like your number 6.

I'd load up my arms at boarders books with at least 300 dollars worth, then slowly as I walked up to the counter I would try to get rid of many of them until I got down to about 70 dollars worth. I'd buy them and take them home, regret spending so much money and take back about 40 dollars worth. It was a bad habit but now I buy all my books either online (if there is a specific book I want) or at the library used sale. I have a good eye for good books and I only buy them if they are very gently used. That means I can walk away with 10 books for 2.50 and they are all in fabulous condition. It helps me to find books I may have not otherwise purchased. They all look like new on my book shelf and I love them.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733414953436549474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-86973855320512182382010-12-06T19:53:47.327-08:002010-12-06T19:53:47.327-08:00Camera equipment.

Yikes. No wonder I'm broke. LOL Really, tho, searching for these things at thrift stores and yard sales is my recreation. I try to set a spending limit unless I find a bargain (criteria: it must be something I really like or it must be useful) that is too good to pass up.Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-56319483835218806402010-12-06T05:53:36.080-08:002010-12-06T05:53:36.080-08:00Realizing that this is not the point of this post,...Realizing that this is not the point of this post, I still want to say that we bought a kindle. We are minimalists and we really wanted it to be as good as having a book, but it's just not.<br /><br />We go back to our books time and again, so the kindle has failed what we love about having a book.<br /><br />Now I'm thinking about my expensive hobbies...okay, really, I'm just thinking about my husband's ;)Karinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00120896349111445074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-63650789072736588102010-12-06T05:31:06.368-08:002010-12-06T05:31:06.368-08:00I have a serious love for books, and I like to own...I have a serious love for books, and I like to own them. I rarely completely re-read them, but I do like to go back and reference something often (I like mostly nonfiction). <br /><br />I never allow myself to go to big box bookstores (unless I have a gift card) because I know I can't afford my habit. Instead, twice a year, our town has a huge library sale, and I spend about 40 dollars, but instead of getting 2 or 3 books, I get a couple of boxes of books. It tides me over until the next sale.Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943232287773120143noreply@blogger.com
