I am pretty good. I mean I managed to save for Eleven. That was tough but I did it. There was a few times I had to talk myself out of grabbing a good sale because I was thisclose. I did it though!

I am a llama more because I liked the herd. I am saving up for some give away items for our blog. And something expensive Dwtim told me I'd really like.

I don't sock away money for certain toys, but if I have a little left over play money and am really wanting something, I will save it up a little bit!

Gift cards/commissions: I tend to get side tracked, although it still tends to be from a list of things I want even if not the thing I originally had in mind, when I started saving.

Eden points: I said I would save up till Zini releases some of the toys I've been lusting after and I'm sticking to it. I have roughly $200 worthy of Eden points saved up so far.

I love saving up my points for an expensive item. It is such a great feeling to finally get the toy you wanted after waiting and saving - I always feel like I really accomplished something. (But I might be a little weird, LOL)

I save, and then get antsy and buy other toys. Right now I'm REALLY trying to save my store credit for a massive EF haul including the Zini Seed, Johnny VixSkin, Deep Water G and Hitachi but I'm not sure how well it will work out...

I'm great at saving. Sometimes I end up thinking, 'you know, I saved up to this point so fast... maybe I can get the next level up!'....which leaves me in a perpetual state of saving.

I try so hard to save my points but when I'm making points and looking at things it makes me want to buy! I have $60 in points right now but my goal is to get to $111 but I doubt I have the patience...

I'm pretty good at saving for what I really want. I've been even more disciplined lately because there's a few expensive items that I have my eye on at the moment.
