    Default paying with cash has paid off again

    I needed to get my rats a bigger cage. I know, I know ...Rats??!! Well yes! Even though they are rats, they are my pets and as a pet owner you take on a certain responsiblity to the animals you take in.

    Currently I have two rats in a very small cage. They fight terrible because there is just not enough room for the two of them. So I researched rat cages and the one that I wanted was $99. Holy Rat Cage! So as with my slippers, I saved up the cash and was ready to buy. I got online last Thursday and they were having a 20% online sale! So yeah me, I got the cage I wanted for $84 including tax and no shipping!

    So once again, being patient, and paying with cash paid off!

    Rats make great pets, they are very intelligent and can be trained. My dh is a health inspector and just will not go for a rat as a pet.....Oh well.

    Nice job, it always feels good when you can buy items with cash. I even don't like using my debt card anymore.
