A day or so reading and I’ve ordered a new flashlight the. Stumbled across some nice looking knives and had to have those too. Lots of info here but I have a feeling its not going to help me with sticking to a budget lol.
Good forum you all have here!
Welcome to BLF… where everyone blows their budgets. Dont cut your fingers! :bigsmile:
It's obviously too late for you already, so there's no encouragement I can give.
Just know that we, too, have visions of what our bank accounts used to look like pre-BLF.
Wait until you discover the group buys!
Welcome to THE forum
My Dad used to always say “sharp knives don’t cut you, dull ones do”
I’ve heard that a lot, and have to agree. I love sharp knives. But, someone did chide me once for handing him a sharp knife without warning, after he cut himself with it. Hey, he asked to borrow my pocket knife. How was I to know he didn’t know how to use one? 
And… welcome to BLF Jbean07!
Can I borrow a dull knife? The duller the better. Actually can I just borrow your shoe?
I suggest you do a “must have” light search here. I wish I did back then. Top 10 must have lights??
Heck, even lurkers should look at this type of thread before buying a torch or two. “Be Wise!” <- movie refference.
Just use a spoon!
Please enjoy your time here, Jbean07!
Have fun in the forum!!
The only budget here are the prices of the lights. No one is telling you to have a budget in spending.lol
welcome
me la like milla too
I used to work with a guy who loved to say that. 
If you want to save, stay away of the Group Buy section.
O wait, you didn’t know about the GB section!
Whoops
Remember to stay tuned to the good deals part of the forum, sometime amazing deals come out and helps you save money! Money that shouldn’t have been spent in the first place of course… 
Welcome to BLF!
Bad Influence? Thank you for the compliment! :bigsmile: But since you’ve been bitten with the Flashlight Bug too, just take my approach: Life is short so have some FUN along the way!
Welcome to BLF where we all have wrecked budgets, you’re among friends who understand here!

Haha, thanks. I’ve already got a pretty expensive Jeep habit so I’m going to have try and take it easy here. I checked out the group buy stuff I’m sure I’ll get in on some of that action. I also see great potential for gifts here. Flashlights are common gifts in my family but they’re usually pretty mediocre lights.
you lucky you did not get into moding, at least not yet. than it gets worst, leds, drivers, opicts, tools, hosts, unsuccesfull attempts, destoyed parts, new parts purchased…etc, it is a vicious cycle, lol
