It’s no secret that I like to save money. I will comparison shop, and clip coupons, and look for discount codes until the cows come home! I’ve already started to do some comparison shopping on a Jem7v for Chuck’s birthday, and I have to say that I’m disappointed that the guitar is so expensive. I know it is a high-end guitar, and you get what you pay for, but even with a sale price that knocks about 25% off the price, the guitar is more expensive than I expected it to be! I’m going to have to have a chat with Chuck and see if he is willing to chip in some money towards it himself.
Tax Free Shopping
Once a year, Tennessee and a couple other states give the families a break and declare the first weekend in August is Tax Free Shopping. That means all the clothes, shoes, computers and school supplies are able to be bought without having to pay the sales tax. That is a huge savings when you can put off buying those things until this particular weekend and then buy things you need. A lot of stores have extra sale prices, too. Even people who aren’t going back to school save money when they buy clothes and shoes during this weekend! Smart time to shop!
Synthesizer
My daughter wants me to shop yamaha mm6 for her birthday. I just got done looking around online and OMG they are expensive. She has been taking piano lessons from my mom since she was just a little thing, and now wants a synthesizer instead of the old piano we have in the living room. I suppose I could sell the piano to help pay for it, but we have had it so long, it’s almost like a member of the family. I know that sounds weird, but it is true.
