Well I was going to write a long drawn out testimonial about how sick I am. How I have received 5 t-shirts this week, a free printer after MIR, free postage, laser pointers, calendars, dog food, socks and the list goes on and on. But wait! I have a solution,( because after reading the previous posts I am the least addicted here evidently). From now on, whenever you find a great deal, buy it, PM me and I will send you my mailing address for shipping. Yes people, this may seem harse, but it's for your own sanity. There is no need to thank me, just knowing that I could help just one person (and all the freebies I'll recieve) is reward enough. Repeat after me,, one step at a time........

Hi my name is Healey and I'm a deal addict.

I just want to say I feel a lot of love in this room, and it feels great. You all understand, and I love that about you. Others just don't get it. They laugh at the way I can spend hours to shave a few bucks off the price of some gadget I don't even need. They smirk when I tell them about the free printer I got. They shake their heads when I walk in wearing YAFT. But you, you feel my pain.

I love you all.

I feel better now.

Initially when i read the first posting - what the %#$@*^%(?

Then after I read all other responses, I realize that I'm also a deal addict.

I wasted 10 hours (5 hours on the anandforums, 1.5 hours on the phone, 3.5 hours on a subway) to go to Staples to get a CDRW for $108.24.

I spent 2.5 hours buying the two PalmIIIc PM frm Staples for $281.44 (tax included) that i only need one. Luckily this morning I got a very patience rep who allow me to return the extra one for refund.

Though I posted the Sprint PCS $35/1500min deal, i am still spending time everyday try to look for a good deal on the phone .... (I found one - $90 off list any Sprint phone, NO $29.99 activation fee, 1-yr agreement, but it's referral so I am not going to post here. Please send me private message if you need it).

I am not as serious as others but the deals with Staples already cost me more than I saved. May be I should change my login to StaplesRemover.

Thanks for starting this thread, and the therapy!

Hi,
My name is Vinh.
In the process of saving money, I have charged an average of $1.5K to my credit cards each month.
I'm not sure if I'm addicted to hot deals, or addicted to charging my credit card.
I was a real penny pincher(saver) until some years ago when I started college. They were handing out credit card application left and right. When I apply, they were handing out free candys, pens, toys, shirts, etc. I have several of each different kind of credit cards( 7 master, 2 discover, 5 visa, American Express Blue, etc. You name em, I've got em. One month, I even charged up close to $5K. I have been able to paid them straigh off so far. But, my last paycheck was only $62.
Somebody please help me, I don't know how long I can go on!

With all the money I've spent, I don't know where it all went to. It's not like I have a lot of possession(my roomates will tell you other wise)
that I cherish. I don't have that $4,000 widescreen Tv(please don't post any hot deals on this), I don't have a
nice beamer(don't post any hot deals on this neither). I don't have any shoes that I like. What I do have is close to 100 DVD movies, most of which is sitting there collecting dust, unopened. I do have a bunch of cd-rom drives, modems and cordless phones laying around also. I do have a lot(I do mean a lot) of rebates that are supposed to come in. Yeah, some of them were supposed to come in last November, and I still haven't seen them.

There is something wrong w/ me, I must be really sick. I have a badass computer system, but I don't use it to look for porn any more, or barely even play game on it.

P.S I think the UPS delivery person hate us. They drop by pretty often w/ both their arm full.

(stands up) Thank you everyone here at D.A.A. --- It's been 2 weeks since my last fix and I feel great!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Who am I kidding !!! I am miserable!!! My apt looks like the stockroom for Best Buy. I even have the digital cameras grouped together, then theres isle 3 video cards, isle 4 CD-roms for 9.99 or less, and I have to move clothes out of my closet to make room for more "Cheap" 19inch monitors....

I stay awake at night thinking of ways to justify a canon s-100 when I don't even use the scanner or digi-cam I have had for the last 6 months.....

(sob,,, sob) If I could just stay clean ................. >

Hi, my name John, and I am a deal addict.

I still cry at night for missing the Tivo deal and the infamous bestbuy/msn deal.

I just told my co-worker to get me a firewire card, even though I don't have any firewire device. But once I get the card, I'm gonna have to buy something expensive and unnecessary so I can feel good about buying the firewire card. I secretly hope that the firewire card is sold out before my co-worker gets there.

I buy 100+ dollars worth of dvds at a time so I can take advantage of the buy.com coupons.

I need to find a second job to support my addiction...

Hi my name is Ross and I'm addicted to spending, err saving money, yeah that's right!
Aww heck I'm addicted to these deals.

Case in point.
I spend $95 on 256MB PC100 Kingston ValueRAM yesterday even though I have absolutely no use for it. So I blew almost $100 just because it was a good deal?

Wait it gets better.

I spend $228 on a ReplayTV 3030 even though I watch about an hour of TV per day and haven't used my VCR for about 1.5 years.

Can anyone top that ???

Hi everyone
My name Is Sam and I am a deal addict.
Before joining the forums I was content with my k6-2 300 and my tnt.
I now have 5 systems and misc parts =(
I too spend $100+ just to use coupons on dvds.
The UPS girl and I are on first name basis now.
And the USPS guy too.
Not to mention my credit card company.
I too used to have paychecks, but they seem to have become double digits as well.

I'm going broke saving money.

Must resist the Refresh Button.

LOL.....you know what ou guys? I had no idea that I wasn't the only one.

geoff2k.....I noticed that about myself too......I'll spend hours trying to save $5-$10 but when it comes to anything else.....$5-$10 is nothing!!!

I stress over the fact that the CSR's at Staples wont give me a pricematch so that I could save $10. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth the whole day!!! But when I do save $10, whoo hoo I'm on cloud 9!!!



DOES ANYONE EVER GO SHOPPING AND GET UPSET THAT SOMETHING LIKE TOOTHPASTE IS $.10 MORE EXPENSIVE AT THIS MARKET THAN IT IS AT THE OTHER MARKET??? or is it just me
