I was really pleased when my sister told me that she had found the perfect insurance policy for her son’s after she visited the allredinsurance.com website that I had suggested to her a few weeks ago. I had encouraged her to get complete coverage – especially since her son is a teenager who only had his license for a few months. But she did not listen to me, and only got liability. Yesterday he totaled his car in a single vehicle accident! Now they are in the very difficult position of needing to buy a replacement vehicle, and having no money to do so! I sure wish that hadn’t happened!
Too Much for Chips
Just noticed the price of a bag of potato chips while I was shopping today. At the Kroger a bag of Lays chips is $4.99. Not even gourmet chips – just regular chips in the bag.
I’m astonished. This bag is nothing more than one potato that has been sliced very thin, tossed in hot oil for a couple of minutes, salted and then tossed into an oversized thin foil bag. When you think about it, the bag is 80% air. So what on earth can justify charging almost five bucks for one bag of chips that will last an average family just one day? This amount of money for this little bit of snack food is crazy!
Fool me once shame on you
My sister asked me if I would help her to buy a beginner guitar for her son so she could give it to him for Christmas. She doesn’t have any credit or debit cards, or a paypal account to use to be able to order one online for herself. She has found the one that she wants, and she told me that she will get paid this Friday and give me the money to pay for it. I told her that when she gives me the money I’ll go ahead and order it and use my paypal account to pay for it. But I’m not going to order it before she pays me! I’ve been burnt before! Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!
I love buying wholesale
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?
My mother
My mother came over yesterday and helped me clean out the spare room since the roommate moved out the night before. I am making enough money right now to not have to worry about having a roommate anymore anyway and my mom said if I need help she will help. That way I don’t have to worry about anymore problems like the last one. I am sooo happy that her and her animals are gone !
I have never really understood the whole twitter thing. You can’t post much on there. You can only put a few lines of dialog, so what is the point. Other than to create drama and such, it seems to be kind of stupid. Don’t get me wrong. I have a Twitter account like everyone else, but I barely use it at all. I think most of my tweets are from being linked with other social websites that I am on.
Oh well, it doesn’t really matter. I will use the account as needed or not. Who knows, maybe I can find a way to make money with it. That would be neat. I am sure there has got to be a way to do that. I will go research it now and see what I can find. TTFN
