RossMAN... those 20% Dell coupons are being sent out.

I know, I signed up for the Dell coupons via e-mail received 3 of them today and gave them all away on FW.

Otherwise I'd SPEND MORE MONEY which I don't have.

Argh Hot Deals!!!


Was it hard to let go RossMAN?

Yes but it was best.

Once again common sense prevailed!
"Once again"?!?!?

I quit smoking, quit drinking 6 to 9 20ox bottles of pop a day and quit eating out... that saved me about $30 a day if not more...

About 2 years ago I finally got the point that speeding is not worth the cost of high risk insurance so pretty soon that will save me some money as well...

My place of employment has a stock purchase program that is like forced automatic savings so 60 bucks comes out of my paycheck every week and at the end of 2 years I get 60 to 70 shares depending on the market and a check for about 1 to 2 grand...

Now impulse shopping is a big downfall for me and the only way I have found to not fall victim to my own stupidity was to just not have the money to spend so I pay all my bills right away now instead of putting them off for as long as I can...
 
one thing i heard of before (though it does require a little spending)

whenever you buy something, make sure you get back all the coin change... even if your total comes out to $3.01, pay the 4 bucks and get the .99... then take all the coins, and save it in a jar of some sort...

after a while you'll have lots of saved up loose change...

dunno if anyone would really like to do this, but it's worth trying maybe??
