I have been on a shopping spree lately. Well not really but it feels like it and it makes we want to do more and more shopping. Shopping begets more shopping it seems. All my purchases are school related.
I am excited. I bought half of the books I need for school. I love books. There are a lot of required books for this next semester due to all the English classes I am taking. I actually toyed with renting books this year but the rental cost was almost as much as the new book cost on Amazon so I went with my old standby and ordered from there. I usually order from Amazon because that is the cheapest place and I can find used books. This year I actually was able to get some of the novels (and Shakespeare plays – have a nice set of Shakespeare but it is really not portable) I needed for free as a Kindle book on my i-pod. Yay!
To keep up this frugality I am going to try to utilize the library for some of the books I need. There are 5 more books (novels) I need that I know I can find at the library so why spend the money? I hate to spend money on a book and not like it, not want to keep it (plenty of books I know I want to spend my money on) so I am going to try to play it safe and see if I can get them from the library for the time that I need them.
I also bought a beautiful leather planner to keep me organized. Lord knows I need some organization, especially over the next year. I got a good deal on it too.
And to help me out in going to the gym I ordered myself a pink duffel bag. I can’t wait to see it in person and pack it up. I am definitely going to spend some time at the gym this year.
Now school just needs to start.
