Patience

Good Morning Happy Sunday. Here's my story for today. I have been looking at this camera well actually it's a video recorder for months. It's from vivitar it's a  620 HD, which by reading the reviews they say this is a pieces of crap video recorder. But of course I ignored what the reviews were from people who actually purchased this video recorder. The reason I wanted this video recorder was  I t saw it on a youtube.  This guy was using one  I thought it would be neat to have one to use when I go garage sailing. Well I looked on
e bay and I even bid on one and lost. My price was no more then $3 dollars to purchase it. I felt that if this camera was a dud then if I lost $3 no big deal compared to the $40 bucks that they were selling for in the stores.

Well yesterday I went garage sailing and I found this camera the one I was looking for for $4 bucks it came with the case to. So I purchased it cheap right? I used it last night . I am still working out the problems and trying to find my way around this camera but over all the reviews were right. This is not a good camera to do any kind of videos on. But hey for 4 bucks I will still use it. Did I mention it takes pictures to!

Getting Paid!!!!!

Hello everyone. Well here's my story for today. I am Happy, Happy, And Happy. Why you ask because today was a good day! First I got paid for the mystery shops that I did in July $30 bucks. Second I had purchased some Jet Blue Airline stock a couple of months ago for $11 a share and now the stock is  selling for $24 a share. Nice profit there.

 Also I am on a thrifting  kick.  I am now searching in thrift store for stuff that i can resale for money. Can I tell you back in the day thrift stores use to be cheap now not so much. So with me getting money in and thrifting again  all of this is making me happy. Now I just have keep up my happy feeling by  finding  more mystery shops to do for August and more stock to buy that will give me a good return for my money. I hope that you have a great weekend. So what do you think?

I Got The Flavor!!!

Hello Everyone. Here's my story for today, I've been seeing these lay potato chip flavors like New York Ruben, Biscuits& Gravy, Gyro, and other out of the way flavors.  I have seen them online and wanted to try at least one of them. I never had a chance to purchase a bag because my store didn't carry them until yesterday. They were on sale 2 for $3, I only purchase one bag because if I don't like the flavor I would have wasted $1.50. The store was selling the  The Ruben Chip  flavor and  Biscuit and Gravy Flavor. I passed on the biscuit one It's just didn't sound like that flavor would taste good as a potato chip. Beside I am not a fan of gravy.  I took Ruben instead. Hopefully it will be good.

In other news I manged to save $15 more dollars in coins that I will add to my coin investment challenge.
I am waiting on my paperwork to come back. I filled out the forms and send Kellogg's $65.00 so that they can open my account with  my one share ( sounds sad right?). Once I get the paperwork and everything is correct.  I will send them another $50 in coins for another share and so on. I also manged to win $20 so that was good for me because I am so not making any money doing online jobs.

Other then that the weekend was quite. I managed to get to a few yard sales . Got some interesting stuff. I spent $8 and I have the stuff  listed in my Bonanza store. Hopefully they will sell. We will see.
                                                           So what do you think?

Thrift Stores......

Good evening everyone. I am hooked on this  this program called "Thrift Hunter" basically it's 2 guys that go around to different thrift store searching for find stuff to sell on ebay. I love this show because it just brings to light what my grand parents had been doing for years. They use to shop in thrift stores looking for good stuff to resell  in their own store.( that's when thrift stores had good stuff to sell) I learned a lot from growing about thrifting, junking and so on. I also look for thrift stores, antique stores, yard sales when I go out of state. Because you never know what your going to find. Just wanted to share a great show with you. Also I am in love with the bearded man's eye's look at them they are so pretty. But keep that between us ok!

I Love Yard Sales

Hello everyone. Here's my story for today it’s Saturday and HOT! In New York it's about 90 degrees. But that did not stop me from going to my Saturday yard/garage sales. I am addicted what can I say. That is the only place that I can sometimes find good quality holiday gifts for 10 cents on the dollar. I remember last year I spent $25 bucks and came home with 30 gifts to give to family and friends. All brand new gifts thank you. I also go to yard/garage sales  to see what other people are selling that they purchased and decided they did not want it anymore. Today I went to a house where a  women  was selling used coach bags . She had about 50 of them in different colors and sizes. She wanted $50 bucks a piece or higher  depending upon the size and color you wanted but  all  her  bags were  in bad shape. I  passed on that.

I will say that my best finds are books; I find them cheap like 5 for $1. When I see a deal like that I usually buy a bunch that I want to read and then I pass them on to others who  would enjoy them. Well this is one of the books that I found today on my yard sale adventure. I love the color of the cover and even though I have not  practiced Fun-Shui I have to much clutter in my house not to try it.

Beside I got a deal on this book it was cheap and it's brand new. Like the owner never read it. Score.
Also I found 3 cents on the ground  today which will go toward my coin investment challenge. So that is my Saturday story.  What do you think?

Coins Wonderful Coins

Hello everyone. I finally made it. My $65 in coins with extra left over for next time. I am so proud of myself. I filled out the direct investment stock paper work. I will mail it off tomorrow. Now all I have to do is go to the bank , put my coins in my checking account so that I could send the investment company a check. I wish I could just mail them the coins that I have wrapped for them. This would be so much easier for me. What your see in the picture  to the left is the 65 dollars in coins and the right is left over coins for next time I invest ($50 bucks) Now on to my next challenge even though I will keep this one going I have to find other ways to make money. Since so far I have been coming up,  let's just  say not to successful with my online business, mystery shopping and surveys. But I keep trying....
I am making this short and  sweet today. So what do you think?

It's Here!!!

Good Morning Everyone. Here's the story for today. It's here what I am talking about is in regard to my coin investment challenge. I got the paperwork for the stock that I am going to use to invest in for this challenge. As you can see I am buying Kellogg’s stock which is a Drip stock right from the company. It will cost me $65 to start which is $50 initial investment $15 to administration fee.

 Going forward I  am going to find coins  and when I get to $50 bucks in coins  then I will be able to  purchase  more stock in this company. I am trying to send money to this company every other month or so. It depends on how many coins I can find. But my goal is set for only coin and 50 bucks. The reason why I am doing this challenge is to prove to myself that I might not have much money but that doesn't mean I can't invest with what I do have.

 Maybe once I join their  Kellogg's stock program they will send me free cereal or at least coupons with $2 off a box of their cereal. You know has a thank you gift for joining their stock program.

So now that the stock forms I need to fill out are here I only have $49 in coins. I am short $16 bucks. But I don't worry about it because between now and the weekend I am sure to find the $16  I need.
I will let you know how it all works out. So what do you think?
