I have spent the last two days working on some old photos. My Grandma passed away two years ago, and my mom let me have all of Grandma’s photos so I could put together a memory book.
I haven’t done this in a while, and since I didn’t participate in any blog carnivals this week I thought I’d mention some favorites I found at a couple of the carnivals this week:

My health insurance provider contracts with Prescription Solutions for its prescription drug benefits. I am on a prescription medication to control my asthma, and Prescription Solutions allows me to order a three month supply at one time. I love this service for two reasons: it saves me time, and money. My co-pay is $20, and I only have to pay for two of the refills. If I refill through a … click here to continue reading Prescription Solutions: Get Your Medical Prescriptions Cheaper
I have noticed over the years that I have a bad habit of doing something when extra money comes in. For example, last month an extra $30 landed in my PayPal account. So I thought I’d go ahead and buy those Wii games that I mentioned on my spending spree. But I’d forgotten that was one of the reasons why I went ahead and bought the extra Pioneer Woman Cooks … click here to continue reading Do You Ever Spend a Set Amount of Money More Than Once?
Today I have a guest post from Mr. Credit Card. Yesterday I was on Mr. Credit Card’s blogcast show and what a lot of fun! I was rvous about what I was going to say, and I stuttered a few times, but overall I think I did okay. You can hear the interview with Mr. Credit Card by clicking on the BlogTalkRadio button in the top right sidebar. We talked … click here to continue reading Guest Post: Don’t Always Listen to Conventional Advice
Arizona has several tax credits available for individuals: Charitable Tax Credit, School Tax Credits, Health Insurance Premiums, and Water Conservation Systems. These few are mentioned specifically on their website. The 2009 tax forms are not yet available for viewing on the site, but the 2008 tax forms show there are quite a few tax credits available. It will be interesting to see if they have done away with most of … click here to continue reading Arizona’s Charitable & School Tax Credits

Just a little one. It started with my boss buying Christmas presents for Big A. She wondered what she could get him. I’d seen these at Walmart 2 for $30 Wii Bundles and 2 for $25 Wii Bundles. You have to pick two games they are offering. I’d already asked AJ about them, he said they were all duds. But he’s an adult, and Big A’s somewhat less mature (having … click here to continue reading I’ve Been on a Spending Spree in the Last Week
The month of October really got away from me. Auto expenses were high: I had to buy new tires for my vehicle ($346), and we had to replace the fuel pump in Mr. A’s work truck ($257). Somehow, gasoline was $135.79 lower than it usually is.
Our goal on groceries was $640 for the month, but we went over by $63.56.
Our goal is to have $160 each week for groceries. I got behind on tracking our personal finances after Week 6, but I got caught up this weekend, so here is a rundown for Weeks 7 through 10. Y’all are probably getting sick of hearing about how we did every single solitary week, so after this catchup post I’ll go to a monthly update.
