Sometimes I’ll settle for cheap over good.

Working the deals beat often means buying things I don’t truly need because I can’t pass up a good value. So here I am again, ordering a set of Philips Hue bulbs from Woot that are $29.99 for a four-pack (around $40 off). They’re not the brightest and they don’t turn fancy colors, but damn they’re cheap and I’ll find a use for them.
