How Much Money Have You Spent Since Lockdown?

Xtra food. Xtra Food. and Xtra food.
I’ve put on 3 kg so far. Wife over 2.

hibernation rations? :beer:

With my wife blessings (Imagine that!) I bought myself a gun :smiley:

And now there is a freaking shortage of ammo!!! Just my luck!

Looking for defensive rounds that don’t cost you an arm and a leg, ammoseek seems to be out of affordable JHP rounds! :frowning:

9mm: 350rnds
12ga: 80rnds 00Buck+40rnd #5 shot
$275

Update parts for my SBR’d AR (so that I could build a new AR pistol out of spare parts & the take-off’s from the upgraded rifle)
$460

CZ P09 from a buddy
$175 out of pocket (he owed me some money so that’s why I “got it so cheap”).

Cerakote on a bare steel remmy 870
$160

Raised bed/hoop house rebuild + seeds & seedlings
$90

Bitcoin on March 18th
$200USD

Adding it up it seems I’ve spend about $1600 to keep myself occupied during shut down (but the gains from BTC bring that total down to about $1270 already). Thank god I’m getting paid to not work lol. And now I find myself back at BLF looking at options for my next light purchases, smh!

Do I understand correctly that you bought a gun to defend your life, but you have no bullets?

ROFL! I do have bullets, but wanted some more… You can’t have enough of those!

Honestly, a freaking ton. My biggest mistake was making an account on Slickdeals 10+ years ago, as it will have you buy things you don’t need! lol!

I have an obsession with bluetooth speakers, the same way I do with flashlights. And can’t turn down a deal on one, even though I have an Aiwa Exos 9, which is far superior to anything under $500.

Luckily I’m still getting paid, so nothing has really changed as I have an essential job.

So I just spent R$820 on a new video card for my PC. I’m tired of only playing games from 2010 and before with a smooth framerate, barely anything newer than that plays at “better than slideshow” fps.

I went with the cheaper FMJ instead of JHP …. I can do a fairly quick Mag change if they get back up or try to get away… :smiley:

Still running on the fuel from seven weeks ago when petrol was £1.16.
Oh those heady days.

Yesterday I spent near $1000 on lenses and about $500 on a couple of other lights. This morning i brought a CRX light and that is going to be a long wait for that to arrive.

What generator did you go with? We just stocked up a couple freezers and would hate to lose it all to a power outage.

Make sure whatever you get starts easy and doesn’t use more fuel than needed. If the power is out, the gas stations will be closed. I have a 2000w Honda inverter-style generator. It just purrs when the load is low. And it revs hard when the microwave runs.

I’ve started a smallish solar back-up power system. Should be capable of running anything, even a welder, but for a limited time frame. Fridge and freezer should be no problem for longer term use.

I do NOT want to think about the total $. Wife and I are both still working though, hopefully that doesn’t change.

$150,627.12

^ It sounds like you bought a house.

Not in California.

Yes sir! Got a great deal on it too, covid-19 had made it a buyers market (here atleast). Got new windows and some painting done and minor repairs made by the sellers all for under the asking price!

Congrats! :smiley:

I’ve actually never been to Cali. I can’t imagine living somewhere where I can’t build a giant house in a great neighborhood for 700K. Prob wouldn’t get you much in a nice part of San Fran. I bet it’s beautiful out there though
