Yeah, my bank account is complaining about my $600 1900FP lcd, I removed Hot Deals a week ago (ish).

I also took Fat wallet off my favorites 🙂
 
oh Dammit rossman why do you have to linkified the Damn $100 Machine!!! Arrgggggghhh now I have to check it out myself. Dammit Dammit 🙁
 
I'm just glad this deal is B&M, I have a much easier time resisting B&M deals since I'd actually have to GO to the store and get the deals. the online ones though..that's another matter. 😱
 
If its help, you're contributing your fair share of $$$ for the economy of this nation 🙂.

One way is to cancel every single credit card you have. That should stem the spending somewhat.
 
One way that helps me resist those Hot Deals:

I say to myself, I could get it next time at a much lower price and I don't need one right now
Then keep thinking that I need the money for something else more important...

I cant cancel them b/c am paying monthly Utility bills aotumatically with credit cards. 🙁 a year ago I have been clean from buying anything other than food and normal daily needs but ever since I came back to ATOT and Hot Deals things started to get out of hand.

I'm trying to stop myself from buying this $500 all in one printer for under $100.

So far my will power is losing.

Let me help. All-in-one machines are crap. They will break down. I haven't heard anything to the contrary of this, evar!!!

I beg to differ. My wife has an HP v40 all in one and it's been nothing but awesome. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to really play with it yet. So far we have sent paper faxes, received faxes and made copies. It's really easy to us, quality is great and how cool is it to be able to scan/fax/print/copy in your underwear at home!

The HP D135 is highly rated but I think there's an issue with XP software being buggy or not available yet.

In that case, your Honda will throw a rod in the next 3 years. Only fair if your all-in-one works so well🙂
 
I was addicted to the Hot Deals forum. Until I spent $300 that I didn't have. Luckily it was the beginning of the month and my credit card didn't have anything on the account up until that point.

Now that its the beginning of a new month I have to pay off that $300 dollars and have been avoiding the Hot Deals forum for the past 2 weeks.
