Netflix vs. RedBox

AJ recently subscribed to Netflix and he is really enjoying the service. He pays right around $10 a month and has watched quite a few movies. I keep wanting to watch a movie, but never find the time.  He has mostly watched movies that can be downloaded instantly, but he has ordered a couple [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Did Your Paycheck Just Get Smaller?

We got a 3% cost of living raise at work; however, after increasing the tax deductions to where they should be after last year’s Making Work Pay Tax Credit, some people are actually taking home less money than they did last year.

I’m willing to bet most companies did not give a raise, so [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

This Time I Really Did Find an Accountant!

OH! What a relief it is! I have finally found an accountant. I found her by doing a Google search for accountants in Arizona; I emailed her, and she emailed back. That is a good sign! We talked for forty minutes on Friday, and she answered several of my questions. She charges $65 an [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

My Love/Hate Relationship with Gift Cards

Dust Your Computer – Save Its Life

I had a feeling it was dust [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Christmas 2009 Target 90% Off Sale – What a Disappointment!

Well, I managed to catch the 90% off Christmas sale at Target by sheer luck.  I love going and usually I’m able to learn when the sale is going to be by watching some online sites, but this year it was hit and miss. I found out last Monday night that a Target in [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Make Your Own Knitting Needles

This is a very fun project and I love my wooden knitting needles for making scarves.

One of my nieces was watching me knit a scarf, and was interested in learning to knit. We improvised with a pair of pencils that she wrapped with electrical tape at the ends. She did really good so [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

I Walked Out of Joann’s Without Spending a Dime – Twice!

I don’t get a chance to go to Joann’s very often because it’s in town and I live out in the boonies.  I do work in town though, and pass by one Joann’s on the way to and from work. But I never want to get off the freeway and stop, and besides I [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Once Upon a Time I Bought a Lemon of a Car

Mrs. Money’s recent post of how she bought a brand new car when she was 18 reminded me of the time I bought a real lemon of a car. I mentioned it once last year but I didn’t go into any details, and I thought you’d like to hear the story.

It was after [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]
