Frugal Shopping: Gaming Paid for What #3

I hadn't planned on making any orders tonight, but as I told @AmbiePam earlier if I don't get a case for my phone soon, I will break it. So I got on Amazon, since I have Amazon credit from one of my side hustle game apps, and found the most basic cheap case that I felt like would still protect my phone from the little drops and bumps I put it through. The one I ended up with was $4.80 with tax, and comes with a screen protector. So it will at least keep my phone protected until I can get a better one. Now we have Prime, which for as long as I can remember has meant two day shipping. But it gave me the 14th as delivery day. Dude Amazon, whats up with that? That is not two day Prime Shipping, but whatever. Now that I think of it, Amber mentioned something she ordered, and that it said it wouldn't be delivered till about that same time, even though she too has Prime. Anyway. So phone case and screen protector secured. And I didn't pay out of pocket. What's the last thing you treated yourself with earnings from online?

I bought myself spiced Coke. I gave in, broke my ban of soda, and bought a ten pack of the tiny cans of it. They quit selling it around here. I justify it by saying those tiny cans aren’t too bad. That’s a good deal on the case.

Tiny cans make me smile. Do you remember when the tiny cans were the same width as the big cans just half the height? Is the spiced coke any good? I tried the Oreo one, and well that was not a good idea.

@AmbiePam I don't think I tried it when it came out. I will have to check the next time we go into town, and see if I can find some.

My online earnings go into investments. If I want to spend, it comes from the money the earnings earn rather than the principal. It's just the thing I do.

I haven't figured out investments.

@thislittlepennyearns You will. I mean, once you start digging around a bit. Making money you don't have to bust your butt for can be quite fun and addicting.
