Brings the total to $1002.00. Not happy with a product?February 28th, 2008 at 01:51 pmSeveral weeks ago I bought two frozen items at the grocery store. When I went to open the package, the food was freezer burnt. Checked the experation date. Yep, out of date by one month. The people at the store are too lazy to rotate stock??? Called the 800 number on back of package, and recieved coupons for free items. Also let the store know that their stock was out of date. Management wasn't very happy! Got a refund from the store also. MRI todayFebruary 26th, 2008 at 02:21 pmI finally broke down and made an appt. for a MRI today. My back and leg is still really bothering me. Hope all goes well. That's MY $1.69February 22nd, 2008 at 10:48 pmI went grocery shopping the other evening, and upon getting into the car noticed that I didn't get the discount. At this particular store the items ring up regular price with the discount immediately after it. On my forth item of the same thing my discount wasn't applied. The next time I was in that store, I showed "customer service". She gave me every excuse, but finally gave up and refunded my $1.69. Bummed!February 20th, 2008 at 07:14 pmA few days ago we bought a dining room set off Craigslist. Table, six chairs, and a side buffet table. Both tables have glass tops. On the way home the buffet glass broke. To replace it (1/2" thick with a beveled edge is going to run $328.00!!! I only paid $400.00 for the whole set! (talked him down from $450.00) There's some truth to that.February 18th, 2008 at 02:17 pmYesterday my DH and I were trying to make some room in the fridge, and I pulled out our 1/2 gallon ketchup container (we make BBQ sauce out of it also) and realised that there wasn't much left. I opened it up and started scraping the sides and bottom to get the last bit out to put in a smaller container. I told my husband that this was really sad - most people would just throw the container away. (But we have never really been "most people") Taking pen to paper...February 16th, 2008 at 03:33 amnow that we have paid off my car 2 mos. earlier that speculated. It was a five year loan, so actually we paid it off 4 yrs, 2 mos. "early"!!! Gazelle intense. Not bad at all!February 14th, 2008 at 07:43 pmSold some valentine cookies today and made $165.00. Not too bad I guess. It's nothing compared to the money I made last year tho, but I really wasn't up to it this year. This added to the challenge brings it to $893.00. Yea! Paying off the car 2 mos. early!February 13th, 2008 at 08:39 pmI got a new to me car last year and was hoping to have it paid off by the end of April, 2008. Well, we are going to be paying the balance off this week. 2 months early! I am elated! Now, by Daves plan, we need to work on 3-6 mos. emergency fund. Hope to have it fully funded by the end of the year. I'm really wondering if that is possible? Hopefully so. Oh the pain!February 6th, 2008 at 11:06 amI blogged a while back that I had hurt myself but did'nt get into any details. |
