3/1/11 - Time Flies, So Does My Money

I still don't have the hang of things when it comes to timing the V4L coupons with my ordering needs. I mentioned the other day that the coupon was only for carts & juices, which wasn't going to work for my friend's 1st purchase. I really didn't need to make a large order either to meet the minimum. But the next day I thought maybe it would be a good idea to get at least a couple more boxes of cartos since I'm going out of town again for the weekend. So began my buying frenzy...

Started innocently enough - 2 boxes of 555 from Bloog. OK that will hold me over. Wellll, maybe just a couple boxes from V4L too...have that $10 credit to use up. Decided to try Chocolate and the new VG version of Cowboy. Fine throw in their 555 too.

Of course, the very next day comes another coupon, one that my friend could have used (grrrr). And I don't really know what came over me, but I went ahead and bought a bunch more stuff. Would have easily qualified for the bigger discount on carts/juice if I had just doe it a few days earlier. I'm such a dork.:facepalm:

So now I've got 2 bottles of juice and another 3 boxes of carts on the way (for a total of 8). That's enough to keep be vaping for at least 2 months. I know some folks are stocked up for Armeggedon and my measly supply is laughable to them.

It is a pity I couldn't have planned better, or used a crystal ball to see what sales were just a day away. I would have saved about $11 more. But I have to remind myself, in the same amount of time I would have spent about $280 in cigarettes, compared to $100 in carts/juice.:)

Kinda like timing the purchase of gas for your car, huh? Just never quite works out.....
 
Agreed. Seems silly to fuss over a few dollars. But now I know the timings a little better. What is funny is now I need a new battery and want to buy from Bloog. And in my gut I just know they will offer a sale soon. It would make me nuts if I was to order it today only to find out that 3 days later I could have saved $5. LOL
 
I am the same way, SS. I ordered my equivalent of a ultimate kit by piecing together stuff, and extra batteries and cartos...used a code that gave me 10% off. Got stuff in mail, loved it so place another order today...same code gives 20% off but I'm only getting a few cartos. Doh, I really needed to have saved that extra money, since I'm unemployed. I can't stand to feel like I have not paid as little as possible =)
