37248, Bought Anything For Yourself This Week?
Posted by teklein, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Figured id see if anyone else bought stuff for themselves this week.

So far:

2 Shirts
Aluminum Shifter Bushings
Energy Suspensions Shifter Base Bushings
I started my first tab at a bar, it was pretty cool. Until I saw the bill.

The shifter stuff I bought for cheap off eBay, about ten less for both than one Symborski kit.

I bought

new pair of work boots, skate bearings for my shifter linkage to the trans, a matco digital tire pressure gauge, matco connector terminal release tools, matco 1/2 metric swivel impact set, and my son a pair of new lebron nike shoes for christmas!

a pretty expensive week for me.

Let's see I'll go 5 work days;

9 bottles of orange Gatorade (16oz)
3 Cokes (12 oz)
4 packages of Hostess Donettes
3 packages of Hostess Cupcakes
1 package Kelloggs Pop Tarts (Apple Strudle)
1 Little Debbies' Scooter Pie
1 Medium Dunkin Donuts Hot Chocolate (whipped cream in a large cup)
1 Wendies "Double" Meal (Medium w/Ketchup, Lettuce, Mayo and Mustard)
1 Milky Way Dark

I think that's about it.

That sounds like an awesome deal. Where'd you manage that? I want to get a blue ray but am leaning towards picking up a PS3 so I can do more with it. BTW. Walmart has had for the past few weeks a 42" vizio 1080p for $800. Definitely a good deal IMO (which is why we got one).

PS3 still gets some of the best Blu-Ray reviews. I might end up selling this Samsung Blu-Ray and putting that money towards a PS3.
