Somebody please help me get a copy of the November issue of Vanity Fair.
I've practically scoured all bookstores I know but with no success. I've been having sleepless nights because of this. Seriously. I don't get how bookstores here can't be consistent with their magazine supply. One month they have it, the next they don't. Out of frustration I've decided to directly subscribe to Conde Nast for my Vogue and Vanity Fair issues. (Why didn't I think of this before?) Beginning next year I won't only be assured of my monthly copies, I'll also enjoy at least 62% savings off the bookstore price. With the current economic crisis, what's not to love about money-saving deals?
Also on the saving front, my siblings and I are giving up our daily Starbucks habit in exchange for Dunkin Donuts. Kidding. The Dunkin Donuts part I mean. Yes, no more vanilla latte (a newfound love) fixes every day. I'll start the self-imposed ban after I get the planner for 2009. I need five more holes on the stamp card which means forcing my siblings one last time to order the required toffee nut latte. Yay! I can't wait.
Anyway, in anticipation of recession, next year will be all about taking the subway and bus instead of cabs, more home-cooked meals instead of eating out, less trip to the cleaners for items that can be washed at home, reading in bookstores instead of buying books, and spending only on necessities. Saving is clearly the new spending.
