What are you doing with the money you save with e-cigs?

Well, there was going to be about a $150 a month savings with e-cigs but once again as soon as I find a way to save money - someone else finds a way to take it away. I have been hit with yet another pay cut and it will come to the tune of about $400 a month.

Just this week, I had broken even between all of the money I've spent on e-cig supplies and what I would've spent on analogs.

I had planned on taking my savings and putting it towards a trip to Greece to celebrate my daughter's graduation from high school next summer. Now I will be trying to break even with the cost of living. Still, at least now my worries are solely on the cost of survival and not a choice between food and cigarettes. I'll have to give up vaping too but I think it has gotten me to a point where it is for pleasure and not a physical addiction.

I lost a bad habit and gained a new Hobby.
At least the money Im not really saving, well I have something to show for it at the end of the day.....

I was really joking with my comment earlier, I am not at all disappointed in any aspect of this financially why would I be? I spend a lot more on tobacco products in a month than I do on juice. Yes, the initial investment can be steep to those of you that live in a low cost tobacco area. That's not the case in Michigan where the ratbastards just almost tripled the cost of roll your own tobacco with their ridiculous tax increase. You know something is wrong when the tax almost tripled the cost of the product. I look at it like that and it doesn't bother me a bit to slap down $40 a month for a new kit every month if I wanted to and still save money.

Once you have settled on a E-Cig that you like and a few flavors that you enjoy the cost decreases too. You are not ordering new kits all the time just to see if that is "the one" or not. You won't be trying every flavor of juice each week or whatever, once you cut it down to a few favorites you can also order it in larger quantity saving even more.

I have kept track of my orders and I need to update my sig to reflect the last couple of orders in respect to money saved. That's one thing I do as well, I keep track of all my expenses related to E-Cigs.

I'm redecorating my house. I'm also buying extra Christmas (yes, already) I'm making extra payments on bills and even saving some of it *gasp*
