Love Watching These Stories

                        

                           

Hello all well here's the story for the week. Watching stories about lottery winners is one of my guilty   pleasures. I like to know what they did with the money after they got it. I like to see people who have no concept of having that much money spend it foolishly and some wisely.

Can you imagine having that much money. Your life would change so fast. For me winning more than 5 million is scary money to me. Winning 100 million is more than one can spend in a lifetime if you know how to use it right. If I won that kind of money, I was be a paranoid, scary hide in my closet for the rest of my life person. I am already a semi-scary person so that money would just add to my fear. 

So how was your Thanksgiving? Mine was small and quiet. Just me and my partner a small turkey, backed potato, cranberry sauce and cornbread. That was it.  Was trying to visit family but New York traffic is crazy when it's not a holiday and its worst when it is. 

                   Nothing much to report this week which is a good thing in my book. 

                                            So that's my story what do you think?

Holidays Are Here

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. The holidays are coming  I am ready as I will ever be. My new past time is going to different grocery stores to see what kinda crazy prices they have. This week it was Stew Leonards. My partner wanted to go since this was a fancy-dancy kind of grocery store. They make a lot of their foods and you could buy things like lobster rolls $14 each or 3 for 30.  They also offer all kind of buffet style chicken wings. Would not touch them with a ten foot poll. To many people's hands been on  it. The store offers entertainment while you shop. Singing bears and other barn creatures. It was cute.

Stew Leonards had tomahawk meat. The meat with the big dinosaur bone in it for $25 dollars a pound. Hamburger was $12 a pound. Most of the stuff that I saw was expensive. More then the normal grocery store. I did buy a roasted chicken for $4.99. I should have left it . The chicken was dry as a bone had to feed it to my stray cats. Over all the store was a  wasted trip. To expensive, food not very tasty, and not enough variety. 

Thanksgiving this year is going to be quite and a small meal. Ham, veggies, cornbread, cranberry sauce and a small pecan pie from Walmart the 50cents ones. What about you what is your thanksgiving looking like this year?

                                          Well that's my story what do you think?

Love my neighbors

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. In New York it's cold outside. Today is about 38 degrees. I love my neighbor because we share a love of stray cats. either she is feeding them or I am. We have about 5 of them in our backyards. I told my neighbor that I wanted to purchase 2 $30 dollar shelter homes for them for the winter. She build one instead. Made out of her outdoor furniture, plastic coverings and wood. It's nice  I don't know how I got so attached to these strays but hey you just do. They are costing me $$ buying a big bag of  cat food for $15. 

 That darn CVS I had an appointment for a booster shot today. So why did they cancel on me. Needless to say I made the appointment a week ago. Now I have to make another appt for a booster. Hopefully they will keep the second one. 

Not to much to tell beside crazy food prices at the supermarket. This holiday it's Turkey parts that were on sale 2 weeks ago. I got a pack of turkey wings for $5. That works for me with some inexpensive side dishes and my sweet potato pie. What more do I need?

                                     Have a great Holiday  Be Happy, Safe and  Full

                                            That's My story What do you think?

Cutting Back

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. Cutting back. I am trying to find ways to cut back on everything. Since heating oil is going up it now cost me $4.50 a gallon to fill my oil tank. Which is about $600-700 every 2-3 months depending on how much oil I use to heat my house with. I hate oil I am a gas girl myself. Cheaper and cleaner. So far when food shopping I am only buying what's on sale. No new clothing or shoes don't really need it. Trying to sell a 1989 van and my childhood home. These could take a while to  sale.

I use to do flea markets ,yard sales and I was a toy freak. I have so many toys that I am trying to sell. I will be using that money that I get from selling for two things. One is my next year's big birthday vacations and two is just in case money.  I am getting rid of  everything I can get my hands on. I can't stand a lot of mess and junk laying around so either I sell it donate it or throw it out.  As long as I get rid of it I don't care how it goes.

I am also trying to find surveys, sweepstakes, giveaways anything that will help me not to take any money out of my pocket. My friends goes to Atlantic city once a week on the bus. She pays $20 for the ride they give her $15 back in food & play money.  Which makes her tip cost $5 one way. She gets free rooms and somethings gambling money from the casino. She just goes to get the free gifts the casinos offers. While spending very little to get there and gamble. It's about a 2 1/2 to 3 hour  drive to Atlantic city from her house.  She brings her own food & drink.  Now this is the way to cut back and enjoy a vacation.

                                          Well that's my story what do you think?
