I have had TERRIBLE luck with Zenni.
No way! That's terrible. All of our pairs were great, I wonder if we just got lucky!
We are doing ok, but this month is tiiiiiiight. With the move, we somehow made a slip up somewhere in our budget to the tune of $400
. Luckily, we were able to pull from savings and a tiny bit of cc rewards and cover it, but we are kicking ourselves! We missed our budget meeting that week, and if we hadn't we would have caught it! It's especially annoying because I'd been buying some things that really
could have waited, but since I thought I had $400 more than I did I was being especially liberal.
But it's fixed, and we head to an out of state wedding in a few days. I was able to purchase a few gifts off their registry and only spend about $30 OOP all said and done. I wish I could have done more, but I think it's a nice gift, and we
are traveling 2 days to be there, so I feel good about it. It's just a tough time to have to buy a wedding gift with the move and our cruise coming up!
I have been saving a lot of my personal "fun money" each month out of our budget since March, and I have about $240 to spend on our trip, plus $250 in Disney gift cards I've accumulated from my mom and DH for birthdays and Christmas over the last year and a half. It kinda was boring not getting much then, but I'm really happy now that I've banked all of this money so I can buy a nice
DCL Dooney and Bourke purse and still have some leftover to splurge on a spa treatment or some souvenirs at the Character Warehouse when we're down there. It's only a 3 night cruise and 1 day in Orlando, but I really want to be able to go all out for those three days! It's really encouraging for me because I'm not so great at saving, so I think this has been a good lesson for me that saving pays off!
We still need an entertainment center and end tables for the new place. Our bedroom set came, but a part on the dresser was defective so we are waiting on that part to finish building it. It feels so nice and cozy in here now! It's the first time we've have furniture we picked!
