Default Killing the Shopping Bug

I think I found it!!! I think I found it!!!!

Last January my job was changed from multiple responsibilities covering half our departments to doing all purchasing and inventory control for our entire facility. I had been doing purchasing for half our departments before.

Here/how else can you spend 10-20k/week and NOT end up in terrible debt? Also, working out deals with all our primary vendors, tracking/comparing prices, following up on problems has been a total cure.

I have NO desire to shop for anything even though I NEED new shoes for work, clothes for a planned & saved for spring vacation, gutters on the house (1978?), a new fridge (1982?) and freezer (1972?). The money to pay CASH for all this is just sitting in my MMA so I could do it all tomorrow. I REALLY should do the fridge 7 freezer as I would most likely save BIG on my electric bill.

Actually, I may do some of of the house stuff within the next couple months as I got a $10 off 50 and $50 off 500 coupons from Lowes (good until 10/31 so I can take my time to shop). I also "hear" Home Depot will honor competitors coupons and the ad w/ the coupons specifies free delivery, free hook-up and free haul away.
