Whenever I get the chance to buy something at a wholesale price, I jump at it. Assuming, of course, that I actually NEED the product! I am a member of two wholesale clubs – Costco, and BJ’s. I love shopping there – I get a lot of good quality items at a low price, if I play my cards right. You have to be careful, though, and really know your prices if you want to save money! My old printer has started to act a little funny lately, and I’ve started to shop around for wholesale printers, to see what I might want to get as a replacement when this old one gasps its last breath. I don’t want to be rushing it to the junk-yard, mind you, I hope it runs for many years to come. But, a gal’s gotta be prepared, you know what I mean?
I love the new silent instruments
Back when I was in school, taking band, there was no such thing as a silent electric instrument of any kind. At least, not that I’m aware of! When a kid decided to learn how to play an instrument, everyone in the house got to listen the that kid practice, whether they wanted to hear it or not! I was really pleasantly surprised recently when I learned that almost any and every instrument ever made now seems to have a silent version – like the silent electric yamaha violin at WWBW that I found online a few minutes ago. I think that it’s fantastic that now people can learn how to play an instrument without driving everyone in the house crazy!
Luxury on your wrist
I was aghast when Shan was showing me some photos of these TAG Heuer watches that she found online. She was telling me that her husband had told her that his boss gave his wife one of the ladies watches from the website, and she was showing me the selection. I thought that the watches were nice looking, but I just cannot imagine having enough disposable income to put a luxury watch like that on my wrist! Just my luck I’d lose the watch a few days after getting it! Too rich for my blood, that’s for sure! But, I sure wish that I had enough disposable income to buy something like that! Must be nice!
I don’t need the attitude
When the Internet first came into our house, I never thought for a moment that I’d be using it to find bits and pieces of tooling supplies, mechanical parts, and hardware. But after a few trips to the local hardware store lately, where I got a lot of bad attitude from a rude cashier, I decided to go online and see if I could find what I needed without being subjected to a lot of aggravation. I found several sites that really had just about everything I needed, and their online catalogs were organized in such a way that really helped out a lot when I was trying to find specific pieces.
People complain about business being bad in town, and complain about how they are losing business to the Internet, and big box stores. Well, I’d like to suggest that they took a good, long, look at their employees and have a reality check when it comes to customer service. That is going to make or break the businesses, that is for sure!
Time to buy school supplies
I can’t believe it’s that time already. I was in Walmart and the school supplies are already out and the school lists as well. Another two weeks and the kids will be back in school and the next round will have started. It seems like a never ending cycle on one hand, and on the other it seems like the kids just grow so fast I can barely keep up. O.o
Love these hash browns
I decided to try these hash browns one day just on a fluke. I figured it would be enough for maybe one or two people. Wrong. It is enough for all of us to have with breakfast. That is if some of the people you are feeding are kids and don’t eat a whole lot. In any case, we all loved them and they just go into the cupboard and don’t have to be refrigerated. I really love that!
New guitar
Well my honey wants a new guitar. There is a BC Rich Warlock he has his eye on and has actually been drooling over it. I think it is hilarious because he is like a little child about it. He wants his new toy very badly. I am seriously thinking about buying it for him for Christmas, if he hasn’t already gotten it by then. I can just see his face now when he opens it. It will be priceless.
Kennels
It’s past time to get a couple of kennels for the dogs. My yard is not fenced in and they are wanting out a lot already this summer. I just don’t have the time to keep taking them for constant walks. It is interrupting while I work and since I am writing a lot, it interrupts my train of thought. If I get them kennels, they can go outside and stay for a few hours in the morning and in the evening for fresh air.
These are covered and can keep them out of the direct sun and the rain as well.
Shopping
Well Easter is well on it’s way and the time has come to stock up on the supplies I will need for Easter Sunday. I have to make baskets, and dye eggs with the kids as well as prep every thing for Easter dinner. I have so much to do and want to get a head start in it so I don’t have to run crazy later. Sometimes that happens and then I am stuck running around like achicken with it’s head cut off. (eww) Bad analogy, but you certainly understand my reasoning. Why are some of the oldest analogies so gross? Oh well, gotta go. Talk to you guys later.
Auction site
I found this neat auction site called DealDash. It looks like they have just about anything a person could possibly want on their site. The auctions sell these products for way less then you would be able to buy them anywhere else. There was all kinds of electronics, gift cards, video games, kitchen appliances and much more. I was really surprised. A two hundred dollar gift card sold for about fifty dollars. That is just amazing savings. I am going to try out the site and see what I can get from it. I will have to wait until the weekend when I am off of work, so that I have plenty of time to watch whatever I am bidding on.
If I win anything, I promise to post about it on here so you can see it too. I always try to let you guys know when I find really good savings. I like to pass it along and help others. I find all kinds of neat stuff online. Sometimes, I buy and sometimes I don’t, but I always let you know about it. There is one camera that I saw on there, and I am hoping they will have others later for me to bid on.
