How I Save Money At CVS: August 29
Welcome to How I Save Money. I am on a quest to see how much stuff I can get from CVS without spending any extra money out of my pocket.
I only got one item today although I was very tempted to get some more. My item today was totally FREE because I used the same ECBs as what I got back and did not pay tax. The really great thing was that I did not buy ANY more toothpaste even though I had a coupon that would make the toothpaste totally FREE!!!
Transaction 1
Item: CoverGirl Wetslicks lip gloss
I Want to Win a Laptop From Charter!!!
Welcome to How I Save Money.
Have you heard about the Charter Laptop-a-Day Giveaway yet? Well unless you have not been reading your blogs then you must have heard about this great opportunity that is being held by Charter.
Charter Communications is a company that offers services like Cable and Internet to homes. I used Charter a few years ago when I lived with my last roommate….but unfortunately it is not available in my area where I currently live.
Tracking My Finances In August: Day 28
Welcome to How I Save Money and tracking of income and expenses for the month.
Income for the month to date: $240.71
Expenses for the month to date: $2271.89
Net effect: -$2031.18
I just realized that I needed to post this because payday is coming up. I am currently over budget in gas at $142.98 for the month. This is because I had to drive up to the hospital so many times this month (three times this week alone) since mother had so many complications.
