Hamlet-y anguish.

With great Hamlet-y anguish, I have forgone the last three major bargains of the month.

The distributors, especially Diamond, have been hitting me with one deal after another. I don't mind stretching my budget, because my theory is -- if I keep buying at lower discounts, then eventually the lower discounts start having a real effect.

If I back off at any point, then that thread might get broken.

But I stretched and stretched the budget this month, and I cry uncle.

I assume that the pace of offers might slow down a bit, but I doubt they'll go away anytime soon.

So I'm preserving my budget in the last few days to see what we get offered next.
