My testing ledger and what I kept
•Updated January 26, 2025•Transparency
I track every purchase here. Some were wins. Some were a waste. You can learn from both.
Prices shown are what I paid at the time. Prices change. I remove order numbers for privacy.
None of these links are affiliate links. I only link to things that worked in my tests.
Total spent to date (trackable items)$303.22
