We’re at the two month mark already! Man time flies when you’re stuck at home during what Kristen B. calls “The Rumpus”, huh? And by flies, I do not mean flies at all. Still, we’ve had 8 weeks to save and adapt the ways we earn.
In my attempts to get the best deal on a work bench, I’ve somehow managed to let all of them sell out around me. I’m assuming it’s because Father’s Day is coming up. Because I can’t get a price I’m satisfied with, I’ll wait and make do with what I have until I can get a better price. That’s the danger of hunting around too long- but since it’s not an essential purchase, I took the risk. I’ve made a note of the highest price I was willing to pay for one of the benches that is sold out and I’ll put the difference in savings when I finally find my better deal. Until then, it’s just going to be a waiting and watching game. Sigh. That’s been one of the biggest things I’ve had to learn to control in my money saving journey- because like Veruca Salt, I WANT IT NOW.
That big paying week long panel paid out and I was thrilled to see it in my inbox! I love when sites pay out promptly, it definitely means I will prioritize trying to qualify for their surveys and panels over something that takes months to finally pay out.
