Shopping for my move
I’m trying to be frugal with my money as I prepare to move to Texas. I’ve talked myself out of plate lunches a few times lately and bypassed a cute outfit for my niece last time I went shopping. Money will be pretty tight until the house sells, so when I do need to buy something I’m making it a habit to look for a good sale before committing myself to a purchase. Buy.com is a great place to do that. They stock brand name electronics, fahionable apparel, baby goods (very tempting to me!) and all kinds of goodies for the home. I’m taking most of my furtniture with me when I go, but you can bet I’ll be checking Buy.com for anything I need to replace. They’ve come out the winner on every item I’ve done price comparisons on lately, and that’s just on their regular listings. Their sale items are priced even better.
There’s one item that’s a bit of a luxury for someone on a budget, but that I might break down and buy anyway. It’s the Nextar X4-T GPS In-Car Navigation System. If you’ve ever driven in the Dallas area you won’t have to ask why I’m considering this. Dallas has the most confusing street, highway and freeway system of any city I’ve ever been in. I almost have panic attacks just thinking about all the driving I’ll have to do on those nightmare roads as I search for a new home and set up my new business. The Nextar GPS seems like a reasonable investment to help keep me sane. When I enter a sough-after location into it, a voice prompt and map will help me find it. It plays MP3s too, but since I’ve never had an MP3 system I guess that’s just an added extra that I might not use. What I can use is the price. The Nextar GPS is a weekly deal and priced at just $109. That’s way cheaper than what I spent on the GPS system I bought my son a while back. I’m anticipating a lot of expenses connected to my move, so the savings will be greatly appreciated.
