More Than a Little

When I posted about the first online offer that I completed, I think I mentioned that I already had a second one approved and was just waiting for it to arrive.  Guess what!  The FedEx guy brought it to me yesterday at lunchtime! Timeline Began 2/1/2009 Approved 2/14/2009 Mailed 2/17/2009 Processed 3/11/2009 Received 4/8/2009 Just [...]

Have you ever noticed that it’s really easy and quick to come up with a to-do list and not so easy to actually do everything on your list? I am coming down with a terrible case of springitis here.  I am looking around my house and thinking… man, have I really left that bag of [...]

My child woke up at 4:49 this morning. Personally, I am still not adjusted to the time change so to me, this is the equivalent of being awake at 3:49.  I think this will be a very long day indeed, especially considering that she was tossing and turning all night, and woke up once crying [...]

My husband took the baby shopping this afternoon to get her out of the house. We’re in the middle of a painting project here, and the living room was off limits to little girls post nap.  While they were gone, I sat down and finally got our taxes finished and filed.  Yay refund! I have [...]

I sort of took a vacation last week. I didn’t feel much like doing anything, frugal or otherwise. I did a little shopping but my heart wasn’t in it. I also didn’t much feel like cooking, so we ate a little less well than usual.  So, as always, some of my meals are getting “recycled” [...]

Do you like romance novels?  I do.  I know it’s not cool but I love reading books with guaranteed happy endings. Tell Harlequin is a site that I’ve been a member of for a few years. Ever so often, they mail two books to you for free. The only catch is that after you read [...]

Most of the people I talk to about my shopping hobby are completely shocked (and confused) at the type and quantity of stuff I buy. They look at my storage closet and think that I have lost my mind. Everyone wants to know what I do with all of the stuff I buy. I think [...]

The baby and I headed out on Monday for a round of shopping at CVS and Walgreens.  I considered myself extremely extravagant to buy two packages of Pampers and one bottle of Dawn at near retail prices (only using a $1.50 coupon for each of the diapers and no coupon at all for the Dawn! [...]

I bought four packages of Kroger diapers (Comforts for Baby) tonight for $2.99 each! That’s a pretty good price for diapers, I think. (Not as good as free, which is my favorite price, but it’s good nonetheless!) They’re on sale for $5.99. There’s a $3 printable coupon to use with it. I printed two more [...]

Maybe I just have a short attention span, but I am always forgetting if I have used the last of the money on my Walgreens gift card. Since it gets reloaded for the next month, I want to keep it in my wallet, of course, but then I try to use it and I feel [...]
