Hello my name is Tom and I’m an addict.

When I need ink or toner for one of my printers I buy it ‘Open Box’ from a random person on eBay for two thirds of the typical new price on Staples or Amazon or Office Depot.

On the rare occasion I need a replacement camera or lens I buy it ‘Used - Like New’ or ‘Open Box’ from B&H or Amazon, often saving hundreds of dollars.

I needed an insulated Carharrt shirt-jac recently and got what I needed ‘Lightly Worn’ from a seller on eBay for over half the price than anywhere else, less than even Carharrt Reworked. It turned out to be brand new.

When I truly need something I try to practice patience. I got a brand new coffee Thermos at Goodwill recently for $3.

Stacked on top of these epic savings, I get cashback in one way or another for almost every purchase I make – Rakuten, Honey, RetailMeNot, Lolli, 5% from Paypal on groceries. Those rewards all get funneled into Bitcoin.

I am addicted to spending less, and spending wisely.

Thank you for listening.
