Good for you. Not a great quarter for me, but more importantly I have shrunk my collection a bit. Traded/sold/PIFed 24 records and only added 12 so a bit of shrinkage. Spent $225 Canadian. I had budgeted $300 but had hoped to come in under $200.
RSD is going to be the big test. Hopefully I can just keep it to the Bowie album. I was supposed to be in Toronto on that weekend but thankfully plans have changed so that big temptation is removed and will probably just order the Bowie from Discogs.
Once I get past RSD, I should be stronger. Now I just need to put the 2024 RSD thread on ignore.

Well done you
So I made it to the record fair today goal but not purchase free ! Only used my Xmas money today so technically a freebie day
But a definite reduction this year so far - so my goal for April is nothing other than the 5 I’ve earmarked for RSD followed by a no buy May !

On a saving topic record fairs are definitely a way to save if you still want to scratch the itch - 19 albums for just over a £100 - including a couple of brand new sealed - if you set a little bit aside for every three months or so you can grab a pile and also no eBay postage etc

I think I’ve just made a video that supports this thread without realising it ? Trying to point out you don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy vinyl - not sure if it comes across - I’d appreciate the feedback - will help for future videos - apologies for the dodgy edit 
towards the end !

Failed. Bought an MFM title while watching Patricia Wolf DJ at a record store in Portland earlier today.

Definitely failed for August. Worst of all my net intake is now on the plus side. I have been trying to at least keep my overall collection size from growing. I will need to do a big cull this month (15+ records)

Haven’t bought any records since RSD. Even culled some records a month ago and now have $90 in credit at my local.
Next new records will be the VMP Impulse! Anthology, which was my big buy of last year.
It’s a weird feeling, but it kind of feels like my collection has hit the saturation point, (legit the 5x5 Kallax is full, so there’s not really space). Whenever I think about buying any records now, I always think what would I get rid of to make room for this new album. Pretty effective at curbing spending.

Back in to participating for the rest of 2024.
Made one online order of 5 LPs yesterday from a new favorite brick & mortar in Washington I had a great experience with, which will be my last order of the year. Just that and one lone preorder from the Target B2G1 sale a few weeks ago remains.
