Update: I gave up my gym membership to save $60 a month and it backfired

I canceled my Planet Fitness pass in January thinking I'd just run outside and use free workout videos, but I ended up buying a bunch of cheap home gear that totaled over $200. Now I see that fixed monthly cost was actually keeping my spending in check. Has anyone else had a budget cut spiral into a bigger purchase?

Cheap home gear that totaled over $200" is wild. What did you even buy? That's like four months of your old membership right there.

Wait, $200 on cheap gear? the_harper is right, that's a whole different kind of math.

Reminds me of when the_harper tried to fix his own sink and flooded the kitchen.
