Hot deals forums is the most addicting thing since porn. I've spent every penny I got there that I have no money for food, clothes, shoes, school supplies, etc.

I've worn the same t-shirt and jacket to school for the last couple of weeks. I've been eating ham & cheese and canned soup for weeks.

lol, damn. Let's set up a fund for the best "Hot Deals Ruined My Life" story ;) (and no, I'm not funding it completely :p)

I personally haven't been too into the HD scene for a while, since I havent' upgraded my computer in years (HT has taken over...3-4 DVDs a week adds up fast :p)

Eggs are pretty cheap these days. Check your local grocery market. I usually get a dozen for less then $2 I think.

I really don't know why I said that. It was the first thing to come to my mind. I used to work in an arcade, but have since quit. I have no idea what I spend all of my money on. I dumpster dive for most of my stuff.

No, hot deals allow you to buy more with the same amount of funds.

You WILL spend the same amount of money, it's a universally proven truth :)

This is America. Do the right thing an file a lawsuit. Then demand the government define "Hot Deal" and regulate sales. If you are white and male, you'll never have a hot deal again. Problem solved.

if you can't afford it, you probably don't need it.
[logically] if you can afford it, you probably need it. :D:D:D

Can someone explain how you get so attracted to hot deals? I'm only 16 so I know i'm missing some factor because in my mind I know exactly what I want and how I plan to get it, I avoid impulse purchases.

i was all into the hot deals back in the day, but it isn't quite the same now. So I just go to the hot deals forum when I actually need something and try to find a good deal on it. If you go there and browse you'll end up buying crap you don't need. eating bad and having surplus computer hardware you prob don't even use is a bad trade off.
