Is this interest free financing? I take that whenever it’s offered for anything more than a couple hundred, why not. But Asher if you’re set on arbitrarily spending more to become eligible then just get a lot of something that you’ll need anyway. Also how does it work if you just return whatever else you get? Sometimes they don’t care that much and you can get away with that.

I'm buying two pairs of earbuds and a battery pack at Best Buy, but it's only coming out to about $230. I need to spend $299 to get 12-month financing. What sub-$100 tech accessory do I not know I need? Tell me about it so that I can know that I need it and then I can buy it

This is some Rent-a-Center shit. Please don’t buy earbuds until you can pay for them all at once.

Maybe this is coming from a place of privilege, but I think the only things you should ever finance are your home, a vehicle, an education, and your hvac system.

Honestly - I'd take vehicle off the list

Cars are expensive af in Australia. Rangi ballin.

Blackout honeycomb blinds for our east facing bedroom. Always shockingly expensive.

Aluminum foil is much cheaper

Yeah, it was 12 months with no interest on my Best Buy credit card. So I just pay 12 bucks every paycheck instead of 300 all at once right now

I just bought better headphones

You guys are judgmental and a little scary

I was about to break out my heavy duty zips ties to lengthen our dog gate. Then I realized I could just remove and add two hinged panels from one to the other to lengthen it sufficiently, and it’d be more aesthetically pleasing. Kinda bummed.

These guys are dicks, but you did end up with better headphones. That's the greater good, baby.

How was the stew? The recipe looks good but Persian food is generally disgusting
