So unfair

I went riding downtown today and stopped at a store that sells outdoor/sports/travel clothes. They have Icebreaker clothes on sale for 30% off. Two whole racks of clothes are 70% off. Lots of outerwear, breathable rain jackets, etc. Fast drying pants. They are relocating and are trying to sell a lot of their inventory before they do so. BUT I am sadly poor. Both my accounts are overdrawn lol. I get a cheque in a week or so and maybe they'll have something in my size at that time. Maybe they will have boxing day or white-out sales after Christmas

This is pretty much a constant state of affairs for me except for the overdrawn part. I somehow manage to stay teetering on the brink.

lol well they are just overdrawn the monthly fees so $6 or something easy to clear up. That's why I like being a student again. It's 'ok' to be broke if you are a student lmao. Just kidding. I enjoy thrifty life but I sure did want to buy a couple things today!

I just try to do the best I can with what I have. My house renovation took me for a ride, so I'm back to the starting point again. But I have these custom bamboo cabinets... THAT was a lesson. I haven't been a student in 10 years, so I have no excuse except my own doing. But that's okay, I don't need any of that stuff anyways.

Stay out of the stores and you don't know what you're missing.

Excellent advice

I hadn't been a student in 6 years before I returned this fall and we were always living paycheque to paycheque lol Soooo I think it's just us.

It can be very satisfying to find hidden treasures amongst the thrift stores and Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc. I've snagged some fabulous merino and angora type sweaters for like $5 that way.
