The Bargain Life

why is the last thing you need always the hardest to resist? the logical part of me knows it’s not a bargain if you don’t need it, but 12 shirts for $4.21? i was looking for black tees to wear with all my crazy colored/patterned pants, but i found a lot of other really awesome shirts. and i may try to sell The Used shirt on ebay or something because i’m sure i could get back more than the 50 cents i paid and i’m not a huge fan of the band, but i do like them and it’s a cool shirt.

fronts:

plus a solid pink shirt i plan to do something crafty with
& top right has the back-side up – oops!

backs:

In the past 2 months I’ve bought a total of 6 records, the 4 pictured and 2 pre-orders that haven’t come yet.

the collection right now:

Set Your Goals – Mutiny! LP – brown
Four Year Strong – Rise Or Die Trying LP – purple/yellow
Fireworks – Adventure, Nostalgia, and Robbery 7″ – yellow/green
The Wonder Years – Won’t Be Pathetic Forever 7″ – black

pre-orders:
Set Your Goals – Reset 7″ – mint green
The Wonder Years/All Or Nothing – Distances 7″ – white w/ red and blue splatter

I don’t know if this is a worthwhile collection or if I’m just wasting my money. I stopped buying band t-shirts over a year ago because I have so many t-shirts and the $15 band tees weren’t getting worn any more than all my 50-cent thrift store tees, so buying them was clearly a waste. I don’t have shirts for any of the bands I own vinyls of because I’ve only gotten into most of them in the past year, and I wanted to support them by buying something. I’m also really into album art, so it’s cool having it full size. So far, so good. But here’s the catch…i don’t own a record player. So I’ve bought 6 records and I don’t have anything to play them on. Now that seems like a waste.
