Recently, I've adopted a to-hell-with-it approach to shopping, and caved in and purchased a mobile phone over eBay. Part of me is saying it's wasteful to get another one when I still have a properly functioning, practically new phone, but dammit, I wants it! I've yet to pay for the item, but I should be able to do so by next week and it'll be shipped here via UPS. Woohoo!

Today was a productive shopping day too. I eyed a lovely pair of Chucks ($25!), a pair of sandals, and ended up buying flipflops and a pair of trainers, which I say I need because it looks like I'll be here for a while and therefore need decent footwear for exercise-specific purposes. The whole thing could've set me back $70 but they take 20% off for two pairs or more, so yebba! Two pairs for the price of one! Same type of success occurred when I purchased two tops; instead of a $37 total, I ended up paying $14.

Ahahahaha! While I'm here, I may as well take the opportunity to replenish my still-unrecouped clothing items that perished in the fire.
