Black Friday, Prime Day\u2014Good God, the frenzy of consumerism is enough to drive a sane man mad. The whole charade is designed to lure you into buying junk you don\u2019t need and will rarely use, all under the seductive guise of a bargain. I already hemorrhage enough cash and accumulate enough crap to last several lifetimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But last week, necessity reared its ugly head. I needed a few things and figured I\u2019d gamble on Prime Day, hoping the capitalist gods would smile upon me. The prices didn\u2019t plummet as dramatically as I\u2019d hoped, but I did save a few bucks. Here\u2019s the haul:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a giant tote\u2026 or bin\u2026 or box\u2026 whatever you want to call it, it\u2019s a lifesaver<\/a>. It\u2019s pricey, but RUX is offering $75 off their 70L bin for Prime Day. If you\u2019re the right kind of person who can make full use of this thing, it\u2019s a steal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the end, it\u2019s a dance with the devil, but sometimes you come out ahead\u2026 And other times you end up a broke hoarder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what did you pick up?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Black Friday, Prime Day\u2014Good God, the frenzy of consumerism is enough to drive a sane man mad.
