I go through phases. I did spend $130 on the Backstreet Boys store about a month ago, which I would normally never do. Happy birthday to me! I also bought a couple of quarantine-themed sweatshirts on Amazon to commemorate the occasion. Otherwise, I've probably shopped a lot less, online or otherwise, than I normally would. I didn't buy any spring clothes because I have basically been living in loungewear, so that saved me some money. I haven't been to Target in over two months, which is huge. I tend to be the "go to Target for one thing and end up spending $100 after wandering through every aisle and buying a bunch of stuff I don't need just because it's cute" type of shopper, so my debit card is happy to get a break. I still buy stuff on Amazon, but not any more than usual.
Then there's the fact that stuff I really could use is out of stock. I saw an Office Depot ad on Twitter a few weeks ago for office chairs under $100, and my office chair at home is literally falling apart - the fake leather is peeling off, and I'm always having to re-adjust the height because it randomly sinks down - so I actually clicked on the ad, found a chair I liked for a good price, and ordered it. Then I got an email saying the chair was actually on backorder and would be delayed... okay, fine... and then they randomly cancelled my order without telling me and blamed it on my credit card being declined, which is bullshit because I didn't even pay with a credit card. I paid with PayPal, and I had plenty of money in my account to cover the balance, but thankfully they didn't charge me. I tried to just place a new order, but now all the chairs they're advertising, including the one I wanted, are conveniently out of stock. I contacted Customer Service like two weeks ago and never got a reply, so Office Depot's on my shit list now. I thought I'd buy a chair from their competitor, Staples, but most of their chairs are out of stock too. I guess everyone decided they needed a new chair now that they're working from home, and chair manufacturers must be considered non-essential. Oh well.
I'm just really glad my desktop computer survived online learning. It's like 9 years old, super slow, and makes odd noises... I just know it's going to die on me one of these days, but I can't quite bring myself to buy a new one yet. I mostly write on my Chromebook and only use the desktop for making graphics and stuff like that. If we don't go back to in-person learning in the fall, I will probably bite the bullet and get a new one.
