I have been "saving" for an Eroscillator for, like, I swear, a year. I keep buying other things. Halp!
01/14/2010
I have other more important things in life to save for, but when time comes that there is a good deal on something I've been wanting for a long time (like the holiday coupon code? Of course I used it on the Joque harness! I cannot wait for it to arrive tomorrow), I will spend it on that. This goes for any money, not just store credit or gift cards. I do not waste any money on things I am not really lusting after.

I hoard gift cards. For everywhere . But it's great when something expensive is on sale, or I just want a lot of new toys.
01/14/2010
Sometimes I'm better than others. If I really set myself to it, I save up for a toy religiously, and nothing else gets bought until that toys is on its way. But if I don't force myself, I end up buying a dozen less expensive things that I don't want quite as much before I squirrel away the money for the big item. Which is kind of stupid, now that I think about it. I need to work on my sex toy spending habits...

I usually have a good idea of what I plan to get next and then spend accordingly. But I am really not good at hoarding my giftcards.
01/14/2010
It takes a lot of restraint, but I definitely save up money to buy the toys that I really want. I haven't been in the community long enough to get gift cards etc. but I'm looking forward to the day where I can start hoarding them
Out of curiosity, how much do you get per article for Eden Café?

I saved up my first couple of gift cards for a Pure Wand, but ended up adding a number of other things to that order because I was also using my holiday discount!
I'm saving up for the Eleven next

I lived in a tree house
I lived in a cake
and I never saw how the orange slayed the rake
I've only had the one gc and with the holiday discount got some much needed Maximus and Silk.
I'd like to know more about article writing too, please and thank you

I am working, today, on a set of guidelines for writing on EC. Will post them on EC and put a link here, just so all you questioners don't think I'm ignoring the question.

Thanks Carrie Ann. I have some pretty cool ideas for a few articles, but I'm starting a busy semester so we'll see if this writing thing actually happens...

Yeah, I get distracted and can't decide. I always tell myself that I'm going to save up for something really nice in a luxury line, but I get distracted by something else. If I have more points than I needed, I use the remainder for a smaller toy. I need to make myself stop doing that or I'll never get those toys I've been lusting after!

I'm usually pretty good at saving up for particular things, but I'm still working on trying things out and building my collection so I haven't saved for anything super expensive yet. I think the most I've managed to save was about $40 worth, which I think is fairly substantial. Also, I am a llama.
01/28/2011
Sometimes I wanna buy little things but I saved over 5000 points and just spent them and that's the most ever. I'm gonna aim for 7500 and get another corset or something. Not sure yet!

I'm pretty good at saving, but I've only been around for long enough to save up for one of my expensive wish list items so far.
01/28/2011
I'm good at saving for everything except toys. I see something I want and I have to have it then. I think the most I've held out is two weeks.
01/28/2011
In the past I haven't been good at saving but then I had my heart set on the Freestyle and a number of other items.
So I was able to save enough along with my coupon to get my Vday order!
Think I'll save for one of the Vr vibes, Soraya or the Generation 1 next.

I have a date in mind for when I want to spend my EF credit and have asked that a certain amount be set aside in the budget to supplement my purchase. I have 22 items in my lingerie wishlist that I am drooling over and about fifteen toys I really really want so I'll narrow it down and make my selection when that date hits.
01/31/2011
I'm terrible at saving. =(
01/31/2011
Yes, I am successful at saving. And yes, you got me, I'm a llama.
02/02/2011
EdenPoints definitely helps because you can't spend them elsewhere. Before I have had problems - I'd get close and the car would die or something else would eat up the money.
02/02/2011
I always save up for expensive toys. I rather have quality than quantity.
