One simple thing I’ve learned on this journey to save money is that sometimes my frugal attempts will cost me more money instead of save me money. I’ve had to learn to stop beating myself up when those times arose and instead just learn from my mistakes and move on. So what type of things will cost you more? Read more »
I guess it happened in several places across the U.S. but last Thursday, our local radio station (99.1 KGGI) gave away free gas paid for by Verizon Yellowpages. The first 200 people got $40 in free gas.
I’ve got to just say this up front – I kicked butt this week. Ok, now that I got that out of my system, let me tell you all about it.
Last week I made a second trip, but I got so flustered with my 3 year old that I made a couple of mistakes. I’m going to skip sharing that trip because it was a disappointment, but I’m a lot happier with what I did this week.
You know, I’ve had some really great people go up to bat for me in my journey to create a miracle for my husband. I just wanted to give you all an update on what’s going on.
I’ve always been one of those people who thought that finding coupons, cutting them out and then actually remembering to use them was a huge hassle. And for some people, that is probably still true. However, when I started getting addicted to CVS bargains, I realized that I would have to deal with those dreadful coupons after all. It’s been a couple of weeks now and I have to say that they aren’t as bad as I had made them out to be.
A couple of days ago, I asked for your ideas on how I could create a miracle for my husband in order to get a new guitar for him. I received several comments and emails full of great ideas and I thank you all for taking them time to send them to me. So, now is the time to put them into action. Read more »
We haven’t heard anything about my husband’s missing truck or, more importantly, its contents. I’ve never seen him so depressed and it’s killing me. He just got a contract with a major casino near here to teach guitar to a group of students and he starts tomorrow. Nothing like teaching a guitar class when your guitar was just stolen.
So I’ve seen lots of talk about getting really great deals at CVS, but it just seemed like far too much work for me to take part in it. Well, last week that all changed. Today was my second week participating in the CVS deal game and I must say that I’m addicted. Add that to the fact that they are building a brand new CVS right around the corner from me and I’m really excited.
I’m just beside myself right now.
Tonight I was waiting for my husband to get done with one of his appointments and so I ran to a Walmart near where he was so that I could wait for him. He decided that when he was done, he would just run in and meet me and we’d go. When we got back to the parking lot we found that his truck was gone. A 91 Nissan pickup truck with 220,000 miles on it. The parking lot cameras showed an SUV pull down the aisle we were parked in, a guy get out, walk up to the truck, open it and drive away – all within about 30 seconds. The cop that we filed the police report with said that the older vehicles are stolen all the time with worn keys.
