I love a good deal. It's my love, my desire, my compulsion, my obsession, my addiction. I can't turn away from a good deal no matter where it is. Stores, online, garage sales. They are all my haunts. I'm in constant search of something new, different, well reviewed and cheap. Nothing gives me a bigger high then a great find. If you could stand in our toy area I could tell you what I paid for almost everything in there. For example, can you believe I bought a complete Blockus game for $1 at a garage sale? And Apples to Apples jr for $1 at the same spot? I was so excited. Quality games for a steal. I'm also a fanatical researcher. I can sit and read reviews of products for hours. So when I find something I've researched at an unbelievable price it is the ultimate high. I can't wait to tell everyone. I call my sisters, my mother, my friends. I Facebook it, tweet it. And every time that someone is surprised, jealous, comments it's like inhaling again. Who needs drugs? Just take a whiff of that deal.
I don't always need what I buy. Actually, I rarely need what I buy. But to walk away? Too hard. I can justify it. I run a home daycare. I like the daycare to have educational and interesting toys. I can write them off on my business. See, easy.
I know it has to stop. There are lots of reasons. I have a little house and it's bursting at the seams. Oh, the money I will save. The chaos in my house is causing me angst. These are all valid points and reasons. The biggest one of all is two little girls. My highs are affecting them. And I love them too much to continue. So this is the Fall of their unspoiling.
