slickdeals asian friends. TV was obtained for like $300. The college jackets for $10 each during my school's yearly clearance sale.
My aunt and uncle actually got me those. I've been out for some time now. I was back with my parents for about 2 years while in college, but ever since I was 18 I was on my own save for that period. I live about 50 miles away from them now.
