Was I bad to spend $150 on DisneyStore.com??

[EsmeraldaX]

I am trying to be very frugral this year to put aside $$ for our December trip etc.

Well of course, I'm checking out Disney online yesterday and the snowglobe I have wanted for about 4 years is now marked down $30 to $90. (the double one with all of the characters from the parks). I also see a Pooh one I have wanted for a while too, marked down to $38.

My SO (who I live and split all the bills with) kept saying, get it, you deserve it, it's not that much in the long scheme of things (and told me to get the beanbag of Piglet in a teacup too, since he's heard me talking about that for a while, and the Lady & the tramp shirt marked down to $9.99).

I did just wipe out 4 credit cards and cancel them, meaning now I only have one credit card with any outstanding balance on it and he really thinks I deserved to get these things I have wanted for so long. ( I rarely buy anything for myself...the balance on my cc is mostly due to emergency situations).

Please, somebody, tell me I am not a bad person for spending $150 on myself for things I don't "need".

Hey, what ever floats your boat. It's your life your money. Weigh out your stress from the purchase vs. your joy from it. And if you still have the stuff long after the bills been paid and forgotten your ok, if however, you no longer have the stuff but still owe the money for it, that's when it hurts.

I'm only buzzing in to remind others right now is a good time to buy.

1) Use a code to save 10%
2) Log in through Upromise to get 6% cash back.
3) Free shipping.
4) 1 to 2% cash back (in my case Disney Dollars of course) on the CC.

Thanks. I feel a little better now.

Unfortunately, my vaccum just broke and I may end up having to send this stuff back because I need to buy a new vaccum. Oh well

Hello! If I wasn't going to Disney in FOUR days (aaaahhh!) I would have bought ALL OF THE SNOWGLOBES ON SALE! I absolutely LOVE them and when I saw those prices I nearly fainted! I have a couple of the large ones and they are SO GREAT, they just look awesome on my shelves, and if only I had them all LOL. Don't feel bad, consider them an investment...you could always sell them on ebay , hehe. So what, you spent $150....it's all good. Do you have anything laying around the house you could put on ebay? Selling something you don't need or use will make you feel better. I just sold a "collection" of twelve stephen king books for $57 - I can have lunch at Cinderella's Castle now!

Thats a good point. I do have a lot of old stuff lying around to sell. I ended up keeping the order at TDS and getting a nice vaccum. I think I freak out too much about money...
