Conspicuous consumer blog

Things I want to buy once the paychecks start coming in again, in no particular order:

a new mattress-current one is at least 10 years old and is shaped like a canoe. Actually, this is my #1 need, but will wait until around Veteran's Day sales

a digital voice recorder- no real reason why, other than my old one uses a tape that is wearing out.

a new answering machine- the one I have isn't old, but it's cheap and it acts that way

high speed internet connection- my dial up has been fine for the last 10 years, but it's time to upgrade

healthy food- down to my "hot dog" budget this late in the summer. Last year at this time, it was the PB&J budget. Equally cheap and equally unhealthy

new clothes- my other clothes are kind of cheap and I've been wearing them over and over

new shoes- see above

September 11 isn't a happy date, but the paychecks resume then.
