My Second Purchase of the Year


This is my second purchase of the year (after the bowling shoes a month or so ago).  Although I have several backpacks, they are mostly for hiking.  I have one backpack that can carry a laptop but the straps are too wide, it's uncomfortable to carry, and it doesn't have water bottle holders, and so when I saw this one half off on sale I ordered it (a week or so ago before the whole hospital thing happened).  While this wasn't a necessity purchase, it will make my life easier because I take my laptop with me everyday and work from where ever we happen to be (casinos, bowling centers, poker room, etc).  I LOVE this backpack!  It is a Patagonia Refugio 26L pack, it has a good warranty, it has pockets for everything and fits my water bottles just fine, and it carries really well.  Also it's green which reminds me--Happy St Patrick's Day!!

    I looked up the specs; that is a super-nice backpack.

      I love it--not too big, not to small, lots of pockets...I'm forever in search of the "perfect" backpack!

    Awesome website you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any
    message boards that cover the same topics discussed in this article?

    I'd really love to be a part of community where I can get comments from other experienced individuals
    that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please
    let me know. Thank you!

      Thanks! Definitely check out reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frugal/) which is an insanely popular message board for every topic under the sun (also look at the side bar of frugal reddit for lots of other related bulletin boards).
