I have been going through craigslist quite a bit over the past couple of years, while keeping an eye on any good deals for things I need for the condo. Of course, this must be balanced with the fact that I currently do not have any money to spend. That huge spending spree last year wiped me out and I have to be frugal for another year before I get back to par.
Still, good deals keep coming up and the temptation is there..

Ah the bargain hunter's fallacy. The more you buy, the more you save.
I'm claiming that I have coined the phrase, "bargain hunter's fallacy." Y'know, like gambler's fallacy.

Heheheh. Quite right. It is true that the more you buy, the more you save, but only if you are buying things that you need rather than what you want (or just for the sake of buying).
For example that couch I got. I probably could have bought something similar for a tenth of the price.. but it was on sale! *sigh*
