$pending More Money to $ave Money

bob.bud

It is often said, that this forum temps us to $pend more $$, and we all know that to be true. Today was no exception as I made my obligatory Saturday morning run to pick up some wine and other needed items.

While I spent more $$ on this because of several of your posts:



It was on sale, and it will save me some $$ in the long run. Here is what I paid:



and here is what I found in Amazon a few minutes ago:




with the $$ saved and future projected savings... I should buy a...

+1  @bob.bud you'll love it.  Get the bulk bargain at Amazon, less than half the price from FoodSaver.

If you want to $ave even more, get a chamber $ealer, it'll pay for itself in bag $aving$ down the road   My pay-back estimate is about 5 years!

Love my FoodSaver, use it all the time for extra/leftover meats.

I'll help you even more. Now you need to get a sous vide machine to get full use out of your foodsaver

You'll love it. Now hit up Amazon and grab some rolls like this:

Then go back to Costco and purchase bulk meats
(I bought 20 lbs of pork belly to do more bacon with today)

I just bought one today, too. This BGE deal is costly.

I bought one a few weeks ago at Sam's. Already love it. Roasted the last of my jalapeño harvest recently. Froze them individually and yesterday vacuum sealed several pouches worth...just because I can.

The sign says you are gonna save $2700 a year - it's gotta be true!  You now have a bunch of extra cash to spend on eggin' stuff!

Not sure if it will save me 2700 per year, but mine has paid for itself a couple of times at least since purchased in May.  Not a bad ROI

I buy a lot of stuff now in bulk at RD and Costco.

It's the threads that make me buy stuff like Yeti Lowballs that don't make me $$$.  Those threads I've got to start staying away from.

"Spend more money to save money?"  That's an excuse husbands have been using since before the invention of money.  Well played!

I thought about that, but spending more in order to save more sounds more like a husband type scheme then what a wife would do.  At least to me it sounds more like Ralph Cramden then Lucy Ricardo.

@Fred19Flintstone I just can't count the times Amy came home from shopping bragging about how much money she "saved." OTOH, she gets it from her dad....

bob.bud

with that moniker, you should know this all too well.

Don't hang out with this dude. He knows how to spend your money.

Yep, spending more on a cooler to save money on ice.
