I don’t think I buy THAT much stuff online. Maybe some books from Amazon, a pair of shoes every now and then, but really, I just like to browse. There’s nothing wrong with browsing. But everywhere you look there are links to shops and I can’t help clicking. Plus I get a LOT of emails about sales. And I can’t resist a good sale.
This week I told myself that I’d take it easy on the shopping until after Christmas because I spent around ~$500 on Black Friday weekend. Yes, Black Friday is not just a day for me, but an entire weekend.
However, I got some of those aforementioned emails and clicked away… Here’s what I bought this week…
A Nespresso Cube with Frother. I found it on Rue La La for $259 + $9.95 S/H less $40 credit that I had. Yes, that is one expensive coffee maker, but my parents have one and it makes a mean espresso. Plus it usually goes for around $350, so I think I got a good deal. If you’re interested in joining Rue La La, click here
I also needed some fairly basic flats. Okay, I needed 2 pairs. I got the above in bronze and black from Nine West. They were a total steal – original price $69, but they were half off and there is an additional 30% off plus free shipping until Monday, December 7. That means I got both pairs for a total of $52. That’s only $26/pair!
Finally, today, I ordered some Christmas cards. I felt guilty all year because my coworkers sent me cards last year and I didn’t send then any. Excuuuuse me, I wasn’t aware of the niceties of working from home. This year, I’m going to be on top of it. I can’t post a picture though because they are totally awesome and I want them to be a surprise. I doubt anyone who is going to get one will read this post, but still… I ordered them off Etsy and they were 5 for $5. I ordered 3 packs, with shipping it came to $16.50.
So from Monday, Nov 30 to Saturday Dec 5. I spent approximately $300, plus another $110 or so on groceries. Ugh, $410, now do you see why I need this blog?
I sort of figured December would be a high spend month because of Christmas and all, so I’m not really disappointed. Plus I have 4th quarter and year end bonuses coming up and I’m planning on saving all of that. Keep that chin up lol
