Expensive rookie mistake

Run Forest, run, it's a money trap. lol

Better not take her to the next RV show!

Now that's a the King mistake of all mistakes!
:B :B

Last night: Went to Acme tools in Twin Cities to pickup my repaired Milwaukee sawsall.

Wife picked up an orbital sander for use on projects - $60
I started looking at Dewalt impact wrenches - I don't have one and my 12v cordless screwdriver isn't putting out a ton of torque with 5 year old batteries.

Picked up a Dewalt set for $200 - impact driver and drill, 20v, charger, two batteries. Then I remembered I needed to get some 3 and 6" 3/8 extensions: $25. Then bought some sandpaper...

$320 later, we got the heck out of there.

I should note, technically this is not for RV'ing, it's for our park model at the seasonal campground.

I don't even like to stop for fuel or bathroom breaks!

That's almost as expensive as stopping at a home depot/camping world/cabellos/harbor freight/etc., so the DH could get that part/tool/thingy he really needs. :)

Yes, but at least I have a written LIST when I go into MY stores. :)

That is me :) My online shopping carts are full of camping stuff. At my stage of life, I know what clothes/shoes/jackets etc. fit me and would rather buy them online.

But, I do admit to thrift store addiction. We always stop at a Goodwill or a Salvation Army when we are on the road. I just don't consider that "shopping" like going to an outlet store or a box store.

I loathe shopping, my idea of shopping is sitting at the keyboard and looking for a free shipping deal after I identify what I want.

This is why I can't afford to do "free" overnights in shopping area parking lots...

Stopped at a shopping mall so DW could just "pick something up" :S:S:S

LOL Loved the title to this thread!!
for me it is hubby. omgosh he can't keep his wallet in his pants, me, I don't want more stuff. I want less stuff :)

No rookie here just a weary and bemused trooper.

His issue is electronics. If it duplicates something he already has OR is technology discounted because it's become obsolete that makes it better.

Me? I'm trying to keep up not with the Jones but Imelda Marcos.
