Side Hustle Shopping: Amazon shopping for $0.12.

It is no secret to anyone who reads my stuff that I do a lot of "side hustles". Mainly games and survey sites and apps that brings in a few dollars a day or week on either Amazon or PayPal or whatever gift card I decide I want right then. As with anything, if I devote more time and energy to the "side hustles" I earn more money lol. Anyway I had six dollars and some change in my gift card balance from about a day and a half of light usage on my main little gaming app to earn stuff. We had been talking about starting to watch Shameless (the US version) since we saw some clips on TikTok and decided we wanted to watch it. We had originally wanted to watch in on streaming, which is what we watch 90 percent of shows and movies on- but it is only available to stream on Netflix (unless I pay per episode, and that is NOT in the budget right now), but I don't really have the cash to spend on Netflix every month and it has gotten way more expensive than it was just a couple of years ago. So I searched to see what season one was going for on DVD or Blu-Ray on Amazon. I have never been so Boujee that I wouldn't get a used DVD or blu-ray, and actually most of the time on Amazon or eBay usually prefer to get used (if the seller's are someone I am familiar with or they have a high rating), and that is what I did this time. I found season one of Shameless for six dollars and some change. So I snatched that up. It ended up costing me $0.12 our of pocket. For almost eleven hours of entertainment and then several hours of bonus features, I felt like it was a good price. @moffittjc will make fun of me, as he always has for still buying DVDs and Blu-Rays but I prefer to have special features and have things on actual hard copies in case internet goes out. So I will still buy things on disc. I am SO excited to watch the show. There's eleven seasons total- so I am excited to have a new show that has so many episodes, especially because two of my main "current" shows are about to end this season. (Young Sheldon and The Conners. Which yes I am very sad about.) Here's a clip/trailer of season one (the one I just ordered), so you can see if you are interested, or what the show is about. What's the best deal you have scored recently?

I get DVDs from the library, if we don't get a whole series recorded on the PVR

@thislittlepennyearns Cable doesn't exist where we live. Satellite, is what we have, which is expensive. However, unlimited internet doesn't exist here either. To pay for enough internet to stream movies/TV shows would be expensive. Plus the streaming service charge. Now, that might all come in slightly cheaper than Satellite, but it wouldn't have all the games Hubby wants. So, this is what works for us.

We got rid of cable. It is a un-needed and un-welcome expense. Especially at two or three hundred dollars a month. And I do not have a library card for this county. Soooo. I like owning DVDs.

@paigea there are other ways to get unlimited Internet. We have Hulu live plus Espn so we get every sporting event ever.
