I just bought some nutritional supplements last week. then another one at the beginning of this week. it came today, now i have purchased some new Internet Security Software from Amazon. wtf am i doing. money doesnt appear in my wallet from posting on ecoustics. i need to get to work.
In the last week I've bought a pool table, about 150 dollars. Worth of cool man cave signs, two shelfs for drinks/pool sticks, bedroom toys from adam and eve and I just bought a new viper alarm/remote start last night... I'm addicted
Now our computer is fucked up and a new one might be coming soon
Yeah man it can get addicting. Especially if you have a credit card. Just this week alone I bought some OEM parts from Acura, DSL component sets from Chad. And I have the home theatre itch right now as well.
Yeah the HT itch is pretty bad lol. I got 3 pairs of energy bookshelf speakers. 2 for pc, 2 for main tv in room, and 2 for surrounds for my projector setup. I still need 3 towers and 1 center channel for my main tv setup. Still need receivers and HT subwoofer or use my fi Q and do what paul did.
Nothing wrong with spending your money when you earned it Muddy. I can't say the same goes for everyone here in this thread =/ Some people just have no ability to think for themselves and do the most foolish things endlessly, I won't name any names though. The only thing I have bought in the past 8 months has been food because I don't have any money to spare for anything else, enjoy what you've earned.
It just seems that i have been overtaken by this revelation: Everything can be found for cheaper on the internet, you just gotta know where to find it.
And anytime i want to buy something, i get on the internet to go and get it! I guess it just seems like i notice i am buying things more when i come home and there are packages in my room that have yet to be opened like some kind of ghetto christmas. lmao
I like to hit up the stores and scout out things first and then score em' online at a cheaper price. I certainly wouldn't give my money to the neanderthals at BB that's for sure. Now if you're talking about car audio shops then it's a different story. I don't mind supporting the little guys as long as they actually know what they're talking about(this is rare).
Bodybuilding.com has great customer service BUT their prices are a bit high at times, they're a hit or miss seller in my opinion.
www.bodybuilding.com -They screwed up my order so I called and told them they accidentally gave me some "fat burner" instead of caffeine pills so I was issued a refund, told to keep, throw out or give away the fat burner and also given a discount on top of the refund(they credited my account a few percent on top of the refund) AND they expedited a shipment of caffeine. They paid me something like $7.00 to take their caffeine basically haha. Awesome C.S. so they're a good place in that sense.
www.fitrx.com -Best average price for 5-10lbs of protein. Their current promo deal is for Dymatize protein and ranges from $55.90-$59.99(?) for 10lbs shipped of either their Elite whey or Elite GOURMET whey/casein blend.
www.prosource.net -Once in a blue moon they have a good deal but it's been years since I've caught one from them now so eh..not my usual place to browse.
www.musclefeast.com -Great place, "Mom and Pop" owned and just good people, I believe they have 100% feedback and if you're going all out(hardcore) for some event or Summer(like most people do) you can't beat the products they offer being nearly all protein. I do have a coupon code that was supposedly specifically made for me by the owner/owner's wife so I got an additional 7% off along with the 5% off for getting the whey isolate and casein package deal. Scored 40 pounds worth of protein for $217.xx shipped to my door.
If you look on Amazon(you have to look all the time..) you can get extremely lucky and get 5lbs of Dymatize Elite Strawberry flavor whey protein for $14.99 and I believe orders over $25.00 qualify for free shipping and at this price...I'd suggest buying in bulk. However, I hear this stuff tastes pretty horrible.
There are other places I know of that have ridiculous deals here and there and I'll post them up when I come across them should the become available, I don't want to post this "source" :D
www.trueprotein.net -Never ordered from them personally but I've heard good things and they sell by the fukkload if you need it for a pretty good price.
Anyone bought any uncut currency from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing? That sh1t is awesome and makes a fantastic gift for anyone. I've purchased several sheets for my kids and MANY coin sets as well, including the entire proof states quarters series. I used to collect all circulated state quarters in a jar as well until the ex cashed them in for her own reasons I guess. I'm also a big bicentennial quarter collector as well.
All the online ordering keeps people in my line of work busy. There's packages going out constantly everyday for people all over the country side who have ordered things. One thing to consider is UPS pays their employees by the hour where as FedEx is contracted out so the driver himself owns and runs his own business. The number of stops and packages effects a FedEx driver's pay where as the UPS guy gets paid the same no matter what. So if you want to support the economy more-so, ship FedEx.
UPS drivers are given a bad shake. I used to blame the drivers 100% for every broken or mangled package I used to get. Then I found out how pressed they are under their extreme schedule. Their union (most unions by definition) is worth about as much as a pile of decaying fly maggots. The distro centers are...well....fail EVERYWHERE. Youtube is loaded with it.
I've spoken with several Fedex drivers and they are a pretty much 15-20 year and out employee. Can you imagine retiring from a job at 35? I also knew quite well an ex USPS employee who was out in 15. Took a second hand job just as cream on the top. He wasn't afraid of his boss either because of it.
