What A Week!

Hello Everyone Happy Friday. What a week this has been. First I didn't know that everything would be closed on Monday. Since New Years Day was Sunday everything around me was closed on Monday. So all the things that I needed to do was put off until Tuesday. I was sadden by the fact that my Stores Sears you know this is the story that I go to when I want a part-time job. Is closing a lot of stores and Macy's also. This week got some good stuff at CVS after holiday sale. They were selling their stuff for 75% off, So I got a few things to stock my online store with. I got good stuff to!.

Also just found out that my tenant in my rental home is leaving the end of the month. She stayed for 3 years which was a blessing to me. Now it's time to get back into my rental clean it up and re-rent it again. Hopefully I will have some good people like the last ones.. Mind you I am doing all this running and cleaning and getting myself organized while coming down with a cold. So yea I am glade it's Friday I need a few days just to rest. So what do you think?

Over Like A Fat Rat!

Here's My Fat Rat Story. When I went on my Dec cruise. I received $100 in on board credit. Then something happen to my cabin and the cruise ship gave me an extra $300 on board credit. plus they did all my dirty laundry for free. Which if you know on a ship for them to do your laundry can get expensive. So all my travel clothes that were dirty were washed and pressed free. I got $400 on board credit which I used for all the holiday shopping on the ship when they had their $10 sale. I also used my credit to take a tour of one of the islands. So when I got home the only thing that I spend for 10 days on vacation was $500 and that's was for 2 people. I say I got over like a fat rat! Thanks NCL Gem! So what do you think?

Holiday Vacation

Hello Everyone, How are you today. Me I am tired. Just got back yesterday from a 10 day cruise and I am tired. But I had fun and it was hot. I went to the Bahamas and the weather and days were great. I ate a lot and  had fun on the ship. But most importantly we got a lot of unexpected things. First we got to eat in 4 specialty restaurants that was a treat. The casino on the cruse  was very good to us I won $300 dollars. Then we got $400 in on board credit from the cruise line. So for the holidays we went shopping and got a lot of stuff . What the heck the cruise line was footing the bill so we spent their money. Overall if you get a chance take a cruise for the holidays trust me you will enjoy it. So what's your plans for 2017?  Well that's my story what do you think???

Hello Everybody. Wanted to share with you what I woke up to this morning. Here's my snow story. Have a great weekend!!!

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.....

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?
