Finding Great Deals

 Let’s face it, I don’t earn as much money as I would like to, so I must think a lot before buying something, and choose carefully what I purchase. That’s why eBay and Amazon are my dearest shopping places. One can find anything he dreams of on eBay, and prices of the items on Amazon are beyond belief. When it comes to electronics, first thing I always do before buying a new gadget is go to eBay and see what their offers are.

 These days I fancy an mp3 player. I have compared features of all the models there are on the market, and I have found the one I like. It’s the perfect mp3 player, but it far beyond my reach because of its price. Well, there’s always a solution to every problem, and in this case, the solution is eBay and Amazon. My dream mp3 player is there at a price I can afford.

 The desired model is the iriver e100 mp3 player . Apart from having everything I need, it also has a radio tuner and card slot. Of course I could buy the player at the stores nearby, but their prices are way too high. I’m glad my mum doesn’t know I spend more on electronics than on food, otherwise she would insist on moving back home. What she doesn’t know, cannot hurt her, can it?

 I guess my girlfriend has the same opinion on this as my mother, so some of the stuff I buy remains unknown to her. I wouldn’t like to face her when she’s really angry, even if she’s not going to send me home. I have already told her about this one, and she totally agreed with it as I have promised her she could use it, too, but I see no need to let her know about my Xbox, or my new pair of headphones.

I just noticed a brand new Xbox controller. I wonder if she’d object if I buy that as well. It might be a good opportunity to tell her I have an Xbox too. I hope she doesn’t throw it out the window, like she did with my Playstation 2.
