    Budget, isn't that something mythological?

    I guess for some people... I actually have one. crying  At least, I try to have one. laugh It saddens me. I'm very disciplined about my spending. So, I'm somewhat protected from going too crazy with this stuff. I fill a cart, dump a bunch of stuff out, and usually just buy a few things I want and can use. That ensures I always have something for next time. And since it's usually OS/QG stuff, the charge is small, too.

    I keep filling up, emptying, filling up, emptying, until the store updates, at which point I'll either cheer or regret it. 

    Been filling/emptying with the $2.50 deal off & on this weekend. Maybe I will just forget about that and the $1 item coupon. I have WL stuff in both selections, but not feeling more than lukewarm aboutr them or the 1 buy-in I might use. Maybe I should just use up my 2 monthly coupons. 

    These kinds of discounts that require purchasing new products are best taken only once. The $1 DO product is a trap. I've already used up my monthly coupon. I believe there will be amazing discounts at the end of the month that will make me regret using it so early. Maybe not.

    End of month is usually The Time! But as I will not have membership at the end of the month and as savings from the recent sale on OS/QG items paid for my membership, now was the best time for me. And perhaps you actually got a better deal now. One never knows about these things!

    I ended up getting Niketa the Lioness HD for Genesis 9  so my Lahr the Lion HD for Genesis 9 got a mate. 

    + The AJC Dawn Warrior Outfit looked good for mixing.

    i haven't purchased anything this weekend yet. i only want 4 bundles of the 250, so its just not worth adding a new item for 11-13 dollars that i don't really want. it basically doubles the price to $5+ per bundle, so i'll wait. i'm immune to fomo. i did get the orange banner for the free item though, so at least it wasn't a total waste of time.

    Also a member of the strict budget club.... I had it drilled into me as a kid that the only time you go over-budget is emergencies and true necessities (vet bills, urgent car/house repairs, the kind of thing that absolutely can't wait), so being even close to the limit makes shopping really not-fun for me. 

    But hey, Daz has been making it super easy for me to save up for the PA sale, which has historically treated me quite well, so I don't mind that the sales haven't worked out for me and OS and QG have been shrug-and-walk-away affairs. (Though in fairness I have a lot of what's on offer, and there are a finite amount of products i'm interested in, so it was probably inevitable.)

  • WolfwoodWolfwood Posts: 996

    Well, budget gone. If daz had provided better deal for GC without buy in i would be in the red.

    Save 10 on 25 Coupon make it worth more because that $10 do get better with tokens and made it worth using (for only de buy in, not so much). So 7 tokens spend...i mean renewed smiley $35 gone but 17 products in(counting the buy in) . Practically  $2 per product, and some are bundles. Could had saved $10, but since i already was paying for the buy in, why not 4 more items at 2.5 and destroy my credit? devil

    Would not mind even a mid tier gift card sale just to buy a bit of credit now.

    I think this just disappeared from the store very recently, maybe today, it was in my wishlist but now shows inactive and the link takes me to "oops".

    Has it been removed from the store permanently? I know sometimes these things get sold to Daz and become DO items and temporarily become unavailable while they are rebranded/repriced. Just curious what happened.

    To me, today would be a nice day to go a bit crazy in the Daz store. Not doing that, though.  Gotta take my poor old dog to the vet instead, and that will be $$$.  crying

    Yeah but your dog provides more loving value than DAZ Content!

    I hope everything is okay. But I feel you on the bills. I have a pair & one is elderly

    I've banned myself from the store and put a freeze on my card. I've spent way too much recently. I now have stuff in DIM I don't have room to download. Total assets showing in DIM now over 10k.

     

    Damn those sales!

    Hmm... It's pretty new for something to already be retired, it's already an iray product, the read me is still active, and E-arkham hasn't made an unexpected exit from the store.  Might have needed some kind of fix, maybe, or possibly being moved to another store... stuff disappears here all the time.  .

     I hear that. My cat cost me $1200 in tests and surgical costs last month. But pets are worth it, and fortunately I have cat insurance.

    Me too! I have an elderly beagle girl and she's got those fatty growths that a lot of dogs get as they age. One has turned hard and rubbery. Most alarming!

     Thank you all for support and understanding! I also feel for all of you. Pets are expensive! But they can be wonderful, too.

  • theflarftheflarf Posts: 214

    Another sale another no use for tokens, none of this is giving me much incentive to earn any future ones,

    Since the '60s, inexpensive pet food, as well as some major brands, has been dosed with propylene glycol (proven to be oncogenic [tumor-causing]). Even the CDC recommends "avoid[ing] contact with propylene glycol," although it is in many ice cream brands (to inhibit freezing) and has recently become the main ingredient in all major US anti-perspirants (check yours and see for yourself). The increase of intestinal tumors, as well as runny stools, in pets may be caused by this, as propylene glycol is also prescribed as a laxative for humans!

    The PA has removed a few products, we don't have any additional information but it is deliberate not an error.

    I have 15 tokens but no cash. That last 2.50 flurry did me in plus we have cars requiring new annual registration this month. $$$$ for that.

    Thanks for letting us know. I really like modular sets like that. I guess I should have bought it sooner, but it's one of those things I always forget to buy during big sales until its too late.

    My heart goes out to my wallet. I bought a lot from both stores, but all my favorite clothes are in the other store.

    And this artist has also left; I'm sorry, I can't remember their name.

    Thanks for pointing it out. It seems the store is still open. Then I don't understand why it was taken down.

    Yep.  I've lost track of how many items I've missed because I waited too long.  That's why I really appreciate those vendors who take the time to warn people when they're retiring items or leaving the store, but all too often one just has to hope for the best and expect the worst.

    Unless you added the wrong link, that artist is Luthbel, who has NOT left the store.

    That item in the store goes to an Ooops page. But the readme page https://docs.daz3d.com/public/read_me/index/113000_113999/113905/start is still there.
