Foods To Darn High!!!

Hello everyone, Well here's the story for the week. First I got my visa bill  yesterday and I saw how much I spent on food and eating out for the month. I spend around $400 and that was for 2 people. I did manage to keep my food bill low, but is it me I still think $400 a month of eating for 2 people is still to much??

Drug companies and insurance I Hate Hate Hate them!!! here's why I went to the pharmacy yesterday to get my insulin. Yes I am a diabetic. And I could not get it . The pharmacy stated that my drugs now have to come through mail order.  When did that happen!! So I called the mail order company that is now doing my drugs and they stated that I could not get my insulin right now. It would take 10-12 days. Hello I am leaving in 3 days on a cruise and  I need my insulin. I was screaming at them over the phone. They told me to pay for it one time out of pocket. Do you know how much insulin cost . I will tell you $700 1 box of 6   Do I look like I have $700 to give to the pharmacy. I  told the mail order company. I also also told then the next call I make will be to my lawyer so when I sue them for not getting me my life and death medication I would be able to pay the $700 out of pocket.  The mail order company found a way to get me my medication through my local pharmacy for my trip. I hate mail order medication.

So that's my story so far trying to plan for my cruise next week and doing it on the cheap. I have spent way to much on clothing for 2  people $300. I think my partner over did it this cost I blame on him.  Have a great Holiday and I will speak to you when I get back. Caribbean Here I come.....
So what do you think?

Twenty Dollar Challenge Update

Good Morning  Everyone Here's the story for the week. It really pays to pay attention to coupons. I went to Sears, Yes I know they will be out of business in 2017. There goes my job search (LOL) Well they had a 20% off coupon if you spend $50 bucks or more. You know I spent that because I am trying to get some fresh things for my trip. That coupon saved me $19.89 which is going toward my challenge.


I won I won  $20 on a scratch off ticket. So that's good. Also I am doing some serious mystery shopping this month so that should add $75 to my challenge. So far it's been a pretty good month.

I did mention that I opened a online store but so far nothing special but I am trying. I have not stop rolling my coins for the investment challenge. Last time I rolled coins it was about $45 and I still got plenty of coins to go. will keep you posted. So that's my story what do you think?

Changes

Good Morning Everyone. Well here's the story for the week. Changes and Fed Ex. Let's talk about Fed Ex first. Friday I get a sticky on my door stating that I had a Fed Ex package waiting for me. I was not aware of anyone sending me anything. So I called and they stated that my package would be send to me between 8-10:30 am Monday morning. So like the fool I am I got up at 6:30 in the morning and waited, By 12:00 no fed ex package.  When I called about my package  they could not even tell me who send me the package or when I will get it. Then I got mad! Fed Ex in my book sucks. Long story short I got the package and it was important but damn Fed Ex I had to go through to many changes just to get it.

Changes we only have a couple weeks left until the new Year 2017 and what surprises have I gotten before the new year a new increase in my property taxes. Happy holidays to me!  I got a $170 increase in my tax bill. You see why I need to win the lotto, I need the money for all these stupid increases. Well the bright side of things is that I will be adding money toward me $20 challenge for 2016. I rolled $55 in coins and I did a mystery shop in November for $15.

Yes I am still using my money toward my Kellogg purchase of stock I am just waiting until they send me a new statement to see who I send my checks to now. They changed transfer agents.
So that's my story what do you think???

Holiday Gift Saving Tips

Failure!

 Good Morning All, Here's my  story for today. I am a frugal failure. The reason why I say this is that the months of October and November I spend money like I'am Mama WarBucks and I got it like that. That's right I don't think about coupons or discounts or anything related to saving money. I just spend. Perfect example of this is  last month on eating out and groceries I spent $575.00 That is what my charge bill stated. I was shocked and made at myself all at the same time. I have to get it together money wise or I will be in trouble. Since as you know I am not working which means no income for me right now.
I know that December will not be any better spending wise because my cruise is in December and hopefully I will not over spend my budget . I saved $1200 for the 10 day trip. Come Jan 2017 back on the cheapskate/frugal wagon. seriously.... So that's my story what do you think?

Having Fun!

Well Everyone. Here's my story for the week. I went in to my local CVS Pharmacy and saw they had their  Halloween items at 75% off so I got a hat. ( you can  see the sign in the background of the video)You like it. I also was going to get a new pet the rat but I decided against it. I got 3 bags of the good chocolate instead for $1.99 a bag. Like I really need chocolate. Not!!!

Also I made a sale!!!! On e creator (that's my online store) well almost. I had to refund the $$ because the shipping was wrong, but at least I know  they are looking at my e creator store.  My e creator store was build for my $20 dollar challenge.http://coinqueensyardsale.ecrater.com/

Finally got my passport even though they make me look like I have a bead in my picture. I am ok with it as long as I got it before my trip in December I am happy.
Well that's my story for the week short and sweet. Hope you voted today I sure did!

Served!!!

Hello Everyone, well here's the story so far. I got this in the mail today and I got scared. Though they were telling me which is the Unified Court that I had to report for jury duty. I am not feeling Jury Duty right now, Not when I have doctors appointments and I'm planning a trip in 6 weeks. Well with luck I got a questionnaire to answer but you know what happens when I send it in. You guessed it. They will send me a letter to report to Jury duty. Which I will postpone because of  all the things that I need to do in the coming months. I could really use the Jury Duty Money . I think they pay  like $50 bucks a day. I think?

Well that's my story for today. Oh yea can I tell you I love Consumer Cellular the new phone service I am with . I got a bill for $50 bucks called and told them I was suppose to get 45 days free. They explained the reasons I would get 45 days free then they looked at my bill and took $20 bucks off. Now instead of paying $50 bucks for 2 phones with internet  monthly. I will be paying $35 a month for my same services. I love that company. You know the $20 bucks I am saving is going toward my $20 challenge right. That's my story what do you think???
