Well, the time has arrived for back to school shopping! This is one of my favorite times of the year because, for whatever reason, I love shopping for school supplies and home furnishings. I have a sneaky suspicion that I am one of the few. Since I have never actually lived in an apartment before I have to buy a ton of appliances. Thankfully my parents are helping me with those, but I am still on a tight budget so hopefully some sales will be popping up quickly. However there are some big ticket items that I have to finance myself:
- new computer
- digital voice recorder
- printer
Now, two of the items on the list are not a necessity for me. My current laptop is 5 years old and is a bit slow but is in generally good working order. I had to replace the hard drive in November and if I keep it I'll have to replace the battery before school starts. Plus, after 5 years my poor laptop is pretty beat up. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a new one.
The voice recorder, also, is not a necessity but I think it'll be a good idea to record all my lectures just in case I missed something.
I need a new printer. Mine has been broken for over a year.
If anyone knows of any deals on any of these items (or home furnishings) please let me know! I'll keep you posted with any deals I may find.
