Stuff I needed for my apartment, and I needed pants. I lost weight so much every pair I had was so big I was swimming in them.i wouldn't dare wear them without a belt they literally would fall off.
And a new smaller belt and smaller boxers.
Got my cat a cat tree and took him for a vet checkup.

After all was said and done maybe I got 10 bucks left.
Squirreled away some too lasted awhile but it's gone too. Because shit happens..
