  It's fun to shop knowing that you really don't need anything. I like to look at "new" things and then maybe a few months later, if I still think I need it, I might go look again.

Bailey Davis 11/11/2021 9:10 AM

The barries for me is if I just use my water bottle, not plastic, and just drink tap water it's actually cheaper and no money for me to spend on getting a case of bottled water. How I can make this permanent is If i can keep up just using my water bottle and not buying a case a water I'd be saving me more money
