How much money have you been saving to spend in the next BF?

Thread's title is pretty self-explanatory. I have set a budget of $100 USD to spend on some gadgets, e.g: 4k streaming box, few intelligent lamps and such. :>

    I have a few hundreds CAD in reserve. Yes, it could go towards my tuition, but ‘tis the season to be spending!

    Few hundreds? Like... For a new cellphone? Or, random stuff / crazy deals?

    Probably going to snipe a new laptop. (I want to upgrade from my MBP 2012 to something newer.)

    I spent 350 EUR three weeks ago, bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, 9.7" it's like a computer, now I'd love to buy a bluetooth keyboard...

    We got plenty of deals for small PC's nowadays, but rarely with SSD, they usually have eMMC only.

  • Already spent $1000 on a new TV set from Gibbys Electronics few days ago so it wont be that much more after this. Maybe a couple of little VPS here and there... just a couple :P

  • Trying to save as much as I possibly can, which means I'll probably end up buying out @Virmach.

    4k I guess, OLED? :>

  • MikePT said: 4k I guess, OLED? :>

    OLED for this price ? Wish this was true. It's just a potable Samsung 55" Class 7000 :)

  • I get paid tomorrow, so no saving necessary. I'm ready and waiting to tear this shit up, if what I want (what I really, really want) comes along.

    I'm not aware of TV pricing nowadays, I bought an Hisense TV a few months ago, 4k LED, and I must say I am pretty impressive. :P

    Man you're gonna spend your full salary on BF deals.

  • Only planning for a few things. I'll probably pick up another VPS. Keeping an eye out for a 4K curved TV from Samsung and maybe a digital SLR. If I find a really cheap iPad Mini 4 I might get that, too.. My second gen. is just too slow to be usable at this point but I can't justify full price for a two year old product.

    I think I'm full of VPS already and have been letting those expire (close to all VPS I have, and we're talking about dozens of VPS), only keeping Backupsy storage KVM, Clouvider VPS and Dedicated, Ramnode VPS and huh... Even let my OVH VPS'es expire. All of them.

    I am fully prepared for this.

  • @MikePT,

    See, I had a few at RamNode but I'm starting to outgrow them because I keep adding more services to them. At the same time, I used to pay for my VPSs with points from my credit card but that bank has changed their terms so now I can't really redeem them in this fashion anymore. What used to be free now actually costs me money, so I'm trying to figure something out. Also doesn't help that US$ is foreign currency for me. :(

  • I saw LG Wallpaper but currently is a bit expensive

    Any idea on the deals you're going to click on buy now instantly?

    I know the feeling, being an EU company, we lose a lot of money on currency exchange fees / PP withdraw fees. It's crazy.

    Nope, because I need nothing.

    So far I've bought a few lightning cable bundles and a couple of portable chargers because they're handy to have around, cables always break and it's always worth having a spare charger ready to go.

    Yea is really innovative but a bit expensive considering is the first of this kind, i'll wait some late reviews

    You know that you can get those year-around with people trying to gain traction on Amazon, right? I don't think I've ever paid more than $10 for a 10,000mAh+ pack.

    I keep an eye out all year round, typically, I prefer the ones with built-in cables so they're a touch pricier. I know I'm only saving a few quid each time, but I do keep watch on the prices to make sure they're actually decent deals.

    I don't necessary need "something", but I know I'll spend some money for sure...

    Yeah seems to be really recent, I think I've seen one of those in McDonalds @ Portugal.

    That's like 2,5 USD per month, that's... Really low budget!

  • vmhausvmhaus Member, Top Host, Host Rep

    Plenty of money if I see a deal. Hopefully enough for a new location for Cyber Monday. Let's hope the deals are good.

    Money?! Humanity no longer needs money. Our species has evolved so much, money is now a historical object of the past. I can not think through money anymore.

    There were some difficult times in our long history, when we had a simplistic thinking such as this:

    ..

    Yup yup.. They said the same about 100gb of storage, 5gb of ram and 4 cores for $40 a year with a reliable carrier but we made that happen too! Just depends if it's the season for deals or not..
