Saving Money + New Phone = Happy Little Me!

Tweet

So my phone has been annoying me lately. I have the ZTE Majesty Pro with Tracfone, which was not a planned purchase (long story short, I had an accident with my Tracfone LG Optimus Fuel, and that's all I'm saying). It was fine at first, but it only has 8GB of internal space, and I cannot delete or move the default apps. So of course, that caused my phone to run slowly. One of my nieces introduced me to Honey a year or two ago. You add Honey to your browser, and you can use it to look up and apply the best coupon code to your purchase. I was going to get the LG Rebel 4 with Tracfone (which has 16GB of internal space, and some reviews said they could remove certain apps, which I'll test out this weekend), as they had a reconditioned one for $15. However, you had to choose a service plan, which I already have on my account. I'm actually grandfathered into their $10/month plan, so if I were to cancel and re-sign up, it'd be $15/month. So then I was going to save up for the regular LG Rebel 4 because it was on sale for $30, but they were out of stock and then re-stocked at $40. So, I put the idea out of my mind until after tax season. However, my Mom gave me $40 as an early birthday gift. I put $20 in my NKOTB funds, and I was thinking of putting the other half towards my new phone. For some reason, I decided to check Tracfone's website, and they had the $15 reconditioned phone WITHOUT the requirement of a service plan. I decided to order it tonight before anything changed. This is where Honey comes in. I let it run, and I have no idea what promo it found, but it took the cost down to ZERO. Aaaah! :D I didn't get too excited until it was ordered and I received the confirmation email from Tracfone. So NOW I'm excited! Since I saved $15, I hopped on Amazon Prime and ordered a pink/black case for like, $8. Soooo, I got a new phone and case for just $8 and some change. :D It says the case should be here tomorrow. The phone says 1-3 business days, but it's free Fed-Ex Two-Day shipping, so I'm thinking it'll be more like 2-3 business days. Either way, I'll get them both in time for my birthday. :D Unfortunately, I forgot to order a screen protector, but I'll pick one up (or place an order) this weekend. Until then, I'll be veryyy careful. I don't often get deals like that, so I'm excited. I'm sorry this was a lengthy post, but I tend to tell the story rather than always getting right to the point lol. I'll attach a link to the case I chose for my new Tracfone. I promise there isn't an affiliate/referral link, I'm just posting it to show you guys. I looked through the questions and answers to make sure it fits the Tracfone models, and it does, so yay! :) Welp, I'm out. I'll be back later. See ya, peeps. :) Photo Credit: Pixabay. Here's the link to my new phone case, it's the rose/black one:
