Hi!

Today I am working on reformatting the blog a bit. I will be adding links to my earnings sites, I have been using for years. Please use my links! Most we will both get a bonus if you join. Some take a while, so please hang in there. I would not share these if I have not already cashed out, some multiple times.  Also, feel free to follow my Facebook page! For those Christians or even not, Psalm 91 is a good reading right now. 

I love you guys, God bless and have a great day!

Quarantine and Clean!

Hi All! Hope this post finds you safe and healthy! My family and I are choosing to stay home right now. Fortunately my job won't count the absence and I have paid time off available. 

What are you doing to keep busy? I am cleaning up a storm! Organizing, throwing away and getting stuff ready to give away. 

Let me know! God bless and have a great day! 

Oops did it again!

Is there a cure for it's only-itis?

Is there a cure for it's-only-itis? As in $$$$ and cents. My discount will only be ten cents on this pop-no big deal(walmart workers) if you do that five days a week that's fifty cents and multiply that by 52 weeks that's 30 plus bucks! Don't get me started about buying a multi pack and bringing it to work! 

As a cashier I see this all the time. Like the teen that dad asked ....where's the end of grandmas' gift card? Oh it was only fifty cents i tossed it!! WTF that's money-and thank the lord that man pointed that out. 

When I first started my money saving journey, I suffered from this disease. So what if I save twenty five cents a month by turning out my lights? I mean prepaid cell phone service is an obvious huge savings I'll do that. Unplugging my modem when I'm not using it...no biggie. Until you start to see everything add up and substantial savings on your bills. 

To be honest I really don't want to work for the rest of my life. I am not wired that way. I will volunteer, work on my online stuff etc....but there are days and weeks I really just don't want to leave the house. The only way I am going to do that is to save money wisely and put a hefty amount in my 401k...something I couldn't do if I don't watch my cents! As the saying goes..a penny saved is a penny earned!

So do you have any thoughts on this? Any tips?

God bless and have a great day! 

I see you! Your money running!

My beautiful boy is now eight! But that's not why we're here. As you may know I work retail and I am also a frugal nut. I just get peeved when people use green bags and then buy garbage bags, paper towels, "ziplock" bags and throw away cleaning wipes. You're not being frugal OR good for then environment. Our grandparents (if you are of a certain age) didn't know the word recycle. They just did, they used what they had and then reused it a million times. I reuse glass jars for leftovers and glasses. I reuse grocery bags for lunch and garbage and litter. My mom reuses chicken carcass to make stock....I have also seen where people use veggie scraps to flavor stock and throw them away when it's made. Just throw them all in the freezer and use when needed. Another thing I do is reuse cereal bags and bread bags to store my dry lunch items(I tend to lose containers so this is the most frugal for me.) 

There are a million more ways to reduce, reuse and recycle, (btw save your cans and newspapers/magazines to recycle for a local charity...my cans go to my sons' cub scout pack, and paper to the paper retriever for the library...two birds...recycle and giving to charity...another post I can't give to much cash.) 

Anyway, what do you do to save? Reuse? 

God bless, Have a great day! Thanks for reading!
