lfs bill never small$$

I just got back from the lfs, and i hate how i can never walk out of there with spending less than 80$. Well its really hard in my lfs they are like and internet shop at internet prices, and only saltwater stuff.along with frag swaps. they have everything you can find on the net for just as cheap. i was goin to get a 1 new uvl actinic bulb. 20$ . but instead i walked out with the bulb, all the supplys i need to start a copepod culture,(phyto aint cheap), and a pound of rock rubble for some frags. Do you all experience the kid in a candy store thing?lol
now i got to tell the wifey she aint home yet,lol and tell her that i have a 800 gph overflow coming, for my new sump,LOL

 

I think thats the story of our lifes......lol When I order from the net, I get it sent to my job, she rarely knows something is new. She's a good wife....lol Luna

 

i guess i dont have it so bad my lfs min purches is $50. one time i went in there to buy some snails, $5 max. the bill was over $150 needless to say mac and cheese was what i ate the rest of the week. word of advice dont go to the lfs on payday, big mistake for me

 

I went today and managed to get out for $5.86

just got 5g of pre-mixed saltwater since I dont have a ro/di

 

dont worry guys she came home with clothes and shoes, im in the clear..lol
she loves the tank as much as i do so she is really supportive.

sukafish i know how that is.... lol
with a 2 yr old, and a salty tank. Its like having 2 kids.

 

I escaped with a 15 dollar bill today. Last 3 trips where 85.00, 750.00, and 450.00 lol sux
