I meant to post again earlier, but that obviously never happened. Anyways, it's lengthy, you've been warned lol. So I've been doing a little window shopping online, and I actually added two things to my cart on Walmart's website (for home delivery, not store pickup). Here's what I've added so far: - A jean jacket. I went a size up since I can't exactly try it on, plus I don't like my jackets small on me (even if it's the style, but I don't think it needs to be with this jacket). I want to wash it and then put a few pins on it. :) - A 20oz Apple Pumpkin candle. I have one of those small ones for $0.94, but it doesn't give off a huge scent because of its size. I really do like the scent though, and if I'm going to be inside (for the most part) for the foreseeable future, I want to light a nice candle. It literally smells like fall, like it just reminds you of fall, so it's perfect. Plus at 20oz, I should still have a some left for the actual fall season. - I've been going back on this one, but burgundy hair dye. I know how to go back to brown when I'm ready (and I can order the stuff online), it's just going to raise the price of my order. But it's also the Revlon one for $2.62 ($2.92 with tax), so it only raises the price by a few dollars, so I may just throw it in my cart. I'm also trying to wait and see if this feeling of wanting to go back to burgundy passes. It hasn't passed yet, but we'll see how I'm feeling when I'm ready to place the order. It's not going to be free shipping, but I don't feel like adding a bunch of stuff to my cart just to get free shipping. I'd be spending more than necessary for 2-3 things. I can cash out two $5 Walmart gift cards on Shopkick (for some reason, they don't offer a $10 one). I'm thinking of waiting until I get another $5 one so I can have $15 instead of $10, but we'll see. I'm also trying to at least get a $5 Walmart gift card on InstaGC, but it's taking forever (but in all fairness, I haven't been as active on there as of late). Most of the other survey sites offer a cash payment (InstaGC does, but I need to cash out a certain amount in gift cards first), and that's going to my self-employment taxes. Even if the pandemic slows down before I can place my order (which I doubt will happen, but humor me for a minute), I think I'm still going to place an online order. It'll be a nice visual goal, and a reminder that if I procrastinate, I can't get what I want. Sure I can go to the store and look at the stuff, but it's better to pull up my cart and think "I need to get on the ball so I can place this order," because my gift cards aren't gonna cover all of it. On another note, I don't even know if that candle is available in stores anymore. I assume they'd only have spring/summer candles, and I really want the Apple Pumpkin one. Sooo, we'll see what the next few weeks bring. I'm not in a huge rush to place the order, but it would be nice to get the jacket before it's too hot to wear it on walks. Anywho, I'm watching Halloween 5 and finishing up my work. I may be back to make one more post, but I don't know yet. You all have a good night/day and take care.

@tammys85 ok and when you get it enjoy it. There is a place around where I live that I like to go in and check out the clothes they have, but, since this crisis, they have been closed, so all I can do in look inside the window and drool.

@Hannihar Aw thanks! I was finally able to order it. It's due by this weekend but I have a feeling it'll be late, but that's okay, I know other orders (like food and toiletries) are more important right now. Oh man, I'll be happy when this is all behind us and we can actually go shopping for fun.

It is a good motivation. I also do online window shopping just to satiate my desire of going to the malls

Thank you lol. I'm shopping at Walmart.com, but it's probably good I stay off the other websites lol.

@yoalldudes I'm not sure. I think so, but I'll check once I'm ready to place my order. If not, maybe I can at least place the order before the items sell out. I've decided to hold off to let my funds build up a bit.

I'm sure the apple/pumpkin candle smells wonderful. I hope going up a size for the jacket works and it looks good on you. I hope you can place the order soon.

It does! I can't wait to get the new one. And thanks! I hope so too because I'm not making a special trip to return it. Thanks! I'm going to hold off for a bit to let my funds build up a little more, but I do want to order it sometime soon.

@tammys85 I don't blame you for not wanting to make a special trip to return it if it's too small.

Thanks, girl! I'm hoping to order the jacket this weekend, as I found a cheaper one. I can wait on the hair dye and candle. I just want the jacket before it sells out, since it's on sale.

@Courtlynn Thank you! I think I'm just going to put the whole order off for now, but it's all in my cart and "save for later" section. It won't be too long, but I don't need them right now.

I'm gonna place an order, but I don't know when. I may have found a cheaper jacket, but I'd rather wait 'til I get paid, just hoping it doesn't sell out before then because it's on sale. So for now, it's window shopping, until I hit the button to place the order.

@amitkokiladitya It'll be fine. I sanitize my packages with disinfectant wipes, and I'm throwing the jacket right in the washer.
