Hey, big spender....

I bought a new messenger bag for school. I know, I know...

My previous bag was too small to carry my laptop. And my laptop isn't ridiculously huge or anything, it's just that my bag is ridiculously small. I felt weird walking around carrying my laptop, like I was a walking target.

So I bought a Sherpani Flora Major. I shopped around and found the best price, even though it meant buying a color that I don't like. By doing this I saved a significant account of money.

I bought it from Amazon.com for $58.99 with free two-day shipping since I have the free Prime membership as an Amazon Student. Macy's had it for $69.99 + $12.50 shipping, and after cash back by using upromise and a free $10/$50 coupon, it still would have cost $70.49! So I think I did pretty good.

Still, this just about wipes out all my earnings so far this month. I did debate about counting it as a necessary school purchase, but it's not necessary. I could have kept carrying  my laptop.
