Sunday Already??/

 
I am still trying to find more ways make my $2. I got 2 offers  to join a focus group. Well actually I filled out the questionnaire to see if they will call me ( I hope) One focus group is  paying $175. for 2 hours and one focus group is paying $95 for 1 hour.  That would be some good money if  they called me. 
Today is Sunday and I have put some more stuff out on my selling site Bonanza. Hopefully I can make some good sales for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
I will keep you posted on how  my challenge is going!
 Got any suggestions???

My Inspiration and Fustration



OK, so I like to gamble and I spend or shall I say I use to spend a lot of money doing it. ($80-90 a month) I decided that I would purchase a plastic trash can bank  $1.29 from my 99 cent store. I would place my losing tickets on the bank. My goal is  for  one year  or maybe two tops I would put all my winning from the lottery or my local casino in to the bank and in the year 2015 or 2016 around this time ( DEC). I would cut open the bank and see how much I have won. Good idea right? I have also cut my gambling budget back to $20 a month instead of the$80 I was spending when I was working.
Disappointment right now I have a week to get things set up for my $2 dollars a day challenge. I have some old gigs on Fivvers and I am having problems seeing them.  So I f I can not see them then the people who I need to use my Gigs can't see them. So I contacted the customer service dept of fivvers and they are working on it. I need for my fivvers gigs to be up and running before Dec 1. that's when my $2 challenge starts. So yes I am disappointed in fivvers they use to be easy and good to use  now they seem to be just a hassle So what do you think???

$2.00 Challenge

 
I have a $2 dollar challenge with myself. It will start on Dec 1th 2014 and end Dec1 2015. I wanted to see really show myself that I can make $2 dollars a day to put toward my investment of stock. If I make $2 a day that adds up to $ 60 dollars a month . Which would be more then what I need to add to my stock which only requires me to put in $50 a month, thus leaving me an extra $10 for myself. How hard could it be to make $2 a day? I will keep you posted!   Got any suggestions???

Side Note I am starting with 0.

Wasteful Weekend



This was a very wasteful weekend. First I tried making a cake to save myself some money. Because I tend to buy a lot of enterman's cakes which cost me about $5.99-6.99. These cakes use to be good not anymore, so I made a cake needless to say the cake was a flop and I had to make another one. So I wasted money making two cakes and using up extra ingredients like milk and eggs to do it.
Also since I have been home I find myself spending more money grocery shopping. Mind you I just went food shopping last week at my  PJ's warehouse store. Now today I had to go back to the supermarket to purchase things that I need for thanksgiving. Making my grand total for today $80 bucks and that's with stuff on sale. You asking why did I not buy the stuff I needed at PJ's last week- answer it was to expensive and they did not have what I needed. And to really look at warehouse prices somethings it's cheaper to get stuff at your regular supermarket then at your warehouse one. So all together for this weekend I spent about $100 in being wasteful. I hate that!  Got any suggestions???

This Is What I Am Saying

 
I was just talking about food the other day and how expensive it is. Well guess what just came in today . That's right my visa bill.  When I get my bill I usually go over it to make sure I was not charged for stuff that I did not buy. Well I started counting up how much money we spend eating out and grocery shopping. The grand total for the month was $800. I was shocked and mad all at the same time. I could not believe that two people in one month ate that much food up. I was so mad that I blamed it on my partner and I called him to damn greedy for eating up that much money in food. I told him Dec we are not eating nothing but bread, oat meal and cheap meat and the meat will be a luxury. He said I must be "joking" I was not. We have to find a way to cut our food bill in more then just half " hell cut in down to $200 for the month and that's me being generous. Any Suggestions??/

Expensive Food

 
 Went to my Local BJ Warehouse today. Only because I was given a $100 gift certificate to spend. I cut out coupons, made a shopping list of only the things I needed to get. After all was said and done. I  spent  $258.40.  Did I mention I only got 2 packages of meat and the rest were paper goods, health products, breads, cereals and stuff  that was needed. I was disappointed that  with my  $50 worth of coupons any a $100 gift certificate I still ended up spending over $200. More then I had budgeted for. But again I am grateful for the money and the coupons to use. But I have come to realize that even with coupons if you live in a place like New York stuff is still expensive especially food!
Got any suggestions???
