The World

is ending. I cannot find a single thing I want to buy. My bank balance has increased and I keep looking for a major bill I haven't paid. I even have more than $300 on an Amazon gift card. surely Armageddon is looming.

@excpa ~ That is funny! I feel the same way. I bought a few things from this past Christmas in July, and a bought an out of print book from Amazon. I think the UPS guy must think I moved or something! It's a nice feeling, isn't it?

I've been feeling the same way for the past two weeks. Not about QVC because I'm not a weekly (or even monthly) buyer, but about shopping in general. Nothing I really want that much. If I can keep it up another two months I'll be CC debt-free - then I can buy a new phone, lol.

You just reminded me I still have a $100 gift card from Christmas. I really should use it for grocery shopping or something but gift cards feel like they should be used on something special or frivolous, don't they? Let me know if you come up with anything.

LOL @tansy, I haven't bought any in a while. I have been pretty well stocked after spending a fortune - and then I had a cold (still have totally annoying cough) so wasn't "consuming" because it can irritate the throat. But just this morning I made use of my ACDC ;-) At least now I have a much better idea of what not to bother with any more, and will narrow my product selection so as to hopefully only continue spending on the most effective things.

LOTS of rip-offs in the pure CBD biz - I see prices much higher than 2-3 months ago. Bandwagon & all that 👺 It pitheth me off.

What a terrible situation! Out of the kindness of my heart, I will assist you with that "$300 Amazon gift card" matter.

Don't thank me, glad to do it.

Anything to help out......

@Bri36 - DS decided to move off campus to "save money." So far it seems to be costing more! He bought a lot of hand-me-downs at school from graduating seniors, but still doesn't have a desk! We're too far away to help much, so he'll have to figure things out when the semester starts!

Could be because this is the time of year when we are tired of looking at the same spring and summer things that the stores are full of and QVC is mostly Christmas and clearance of old stuff. It sure is helping me with my self-imposed shopping ban. I had bought 6 items the beginning of June and vowed to not buy any more that month as a first step iln my slow down. It was pretty easy as I didn't see anything I really wanted. We are now through the first week of July and I haven't bought anything; hopefully, I can get through July! My problem will be when the Fall things start coming out in August.
