Had a temporary promotion running for a vacuum in the store I worked at. Ran out of them, no New stock coming, but for a week we kept awkwardly repositioning this one show model. Until I just walked up to the boss and asked him if he'd at all mind if I took it home. Didn't have a charger, or a manual, or anything else for that matter. So one internet search later, I got the charger in the mail for about 40 bucks. Sure that's a lot for a charger, but it's all I paid for a vacuum that would've set me back 300 bucks or something.

Either that or a store that went bust where I bought a jacket. Still got it. Priced it down from 170 to 30 lol.

Besides that, hardly any social life so no going out, no drinking either, no smoking, no drugs. I do spend a bunch on old books though. Gotta have a vice right.
