But eventually i was making too much bank studying and they kinda had to lower it more and by the time i got into sophomore year they just stopped because i made something like 1k and i kinda felt bad. But overall it was nice i got an xbox and a bunch of video games and i also was like addicted to weed at the time lol. But it kinda motivated me to do better so it was a win win for me! | ||

I see what you did there. I get some pretty good deals on clothes. One time I got a pair of Lucky jeans (retail between $100-$150) for $20. They used to sell these jeans for a discount at a store called the Buckle. Then they had a sale on their sale items. That was a good day. | ||

This deal was only being offered in a four day time frame and to PLNDR members only. It was a collaboration deal with both stores. The deal was you pay $80.00 and in return you receive a box every month. The contents of the box would be random but guaranteed clothing of some sort, buttons, magazine, and some sort of jewelry. It was like christmas every month that year! I got fresh ass tee's, pimp ass men's wrist jewelry, dope magazines, sick ass stickers and buttons, and sometimes albums from talented artists. By far the best deal I've ever gotten! Looking forward to next weeks read as it always brings a smile to my face. Cool new banner too  [5]/[5] | ||

For something paid, I'd say a laptop from dell, believe it or not- ordered it, arrived DOA. Put in request for replacement, said "shipped," but then they said they actually didn't ship it and were out of stock. A few convincing emails later, they shipped off a laptop worth 40-50% more for the price I paid for the original. Great blog.. I feel like I'm going to be thinking about whether my salt shakers are pointed toward Mecca every time I eat now. | ||

As usual I loaded up my cart with a few packages of delicious, delicious cow, added some other sundries, paid for it and went to wait for the bus home (obviously no room in the budget for a car when you eat at WF). It was only then that I discovered an anomaly: one of my packages of ground beef was only $0.36. That's right: only thirty-six cents for an entire pound of meat! If I were to sell my flesh for the same rate I wouldn't even be worth $50! Apparently something had gone awry with the weighing/labelling process and the sticker on this particular package said it weighed less than an ounce! I felt a little badly at first but I decided since it was the store's own error I would enjoy the sweet taste of delicious deal. | ||

Nice blog banner update btdubs! As always, really entertaining blog all the way through. One thing I'd really appreciate is a line spacing between each paragraph. It's clear enough as it is but it might be a bit easier on the eyes. If you just feel better doing it that way, it's completely fine of course. I don't necessarily agree 100% with some of the observations and/or analyses you come up with, but your point of view is always well-put and very interesting ^^ Edit: alright, would be fun just to share a story anyway and join the fun~ About two months ago I was planning on a trip to China but planned really late and, as someone unable to bend the laws of time, was thus forced to purchase my ticket from SFO to Beijing Capital International Airport really late as well. Now unfortunately I have yet to Ding! So that's how I ended up in a ten-thousand-dollar, first-class seat for no money out of my pocket. Oh, and did I mention it's a Boeing 747, I believe, Inception-style under the cockpit?! Heck yeah. Maybe I'll meet someone famous | ||

Everything that was happening on the screen, I wanted to start doing it all too. I was only like 16, but I was determined to find what I hungered for. What I was thinking about day and night as a Junior in high school. I went all over searching for this beauty, and one day, I found it. + Show Spoiler + The StarCraft Battle Chest. $20. Best. Deal. Ever. Here's the first video iirc: + Show Spoiler + | ||

As far as the topic of the question goes, pretty mych everything i buy from online stores in US and Europe here is a GREAT deal. I buy stuff with my card, get it delivered to my doorstep and chances are it will still be 30-40% cheaper than if you buy it at the store or local online shops. Imagine that!!! Example: Timberland boots here cost up to 450$. Any mechanical keyboad (if you can find it) will cost you at least 200$. | ||

The best deal I ever got was purchasing a mini-fridge after moving out of the house. For those of you who live in an actual house, either with your parents or on your own, you probably use a full fridge. Your typical refrigerator is about as high as a man is tall, a half-stride deep, and a stride wide. It often has a freezer compartment, and if it's particularly fancy, a water filter and ice maker. This sort of machine can easily service a group of 6 or 7 people with some room to spare. It can also cost a fortune. If you go upscale, a new 18 cu ft (500 L) fridge can cost nearly a grand. Even a low-end one will still cost a lot, but if you buy used, bargain, and take your time, you may be able to pick something up for a little under $250. It won't be new, clean, or even fully functional, but it'll be something. If you're like me, though, you don't exactly have a couple benjamins just lying around, especially if you're just moving out. A mini fridge, though, has all the benfits of a regular fridge-- you can store your I started, of course, by checking prices online. I found some as of them going for as low as $150 new, and considered (briefly) buying a new unit. I figured I could find a decently new one for cheap online, though, so I started browsing craiglist and shopping around. Your typical used minifridge seller is a lot like me. A young person who's moving, and can't be bothered to lug around a big heavy piece of equipment. Maybe the new apartment has a fridge. Maybe he's moving back in with his parents. Maybe he finally tired of having to crouch every time he wants a beer. Generally, though, the fridge is priced to sell-- and sell fast. I finally found a listing at a price I liked. A used Haier, the description told me, but sturdy. Only used to store drinks, clean, runs well. No freezer unit, but at a fairly spacious 4.7 cubic feet (133 L) and a generously low price of $20 USD, the appliance was a winner. I brought it home and it instantly became part of the household. It ran like crap, the compressor letting out horrible gasping noises, and one of the machine's 4 legs was ever-so-slightly shorter than the other 3, leading it to tilt precariously, threatening from time to time to send the empty bottles atop it tumbling to the floor. The black paint was scratched in several places in slow, long arcs from being hastily dragged into and out of the bed of a faded-red pickup truck, and where the paint wasn't scratched it was faded. In almost every aesthetic sense, this fridge was a piece of junk. It was mine, though. | ||

Later I then noticed that most items won in the normal auctions were taking about 100-200 tokens per person to win. So I changed my strategy to have the best chance at winning with my little amount of tokens into playing their game style auctions where you can use special cards that have different ability's like blanking out the auction timer, etc. They also had cards to counter your cards and cards of their own, so it was sort of a little battle. I ended up winning a laptop worth about $380 in about thee hours of work using their original free ten tokens, if you ask me that is a pretty good deal.. a free $380 laptop for just being slightly clever. | ||
