Tracking my Finances in 2009: 30 April
Welcome to tracking of income and expenses for the month. Please note thatI get paid on the last day of the month so my cash flow net effect will usually be negative until the last day of the month.
This does not mean that I am adding to my debt, it just means that the money coming in is less than the money going out because bills are due starting on the first but I don’t get paid until the last day.
One Dime Richer
So I found a dime on the ground outside Walmart…..after weeks of not finding a penny.
I guess things are looking up since that person did not miss the dime.
Now I am one dime richer!!! This dime is going into the sandwich bag until it gets full enough for me to roll some change and take to the bank.
Thanks for the money!
Dinero Saves Dinero: Foil And Water
Meow!
Hi everyone, this is Dinero and I am telling you about another way that I help Lulu save money.
Lulu feeds me dry food and wet food in two separate containers. The dry food has a handy dispenser that she just fills up and it it doles out small amounts of food over time.
The wet food is a different story and this is where I come in. The wet food bowl is just a regular feeding dish where Lulu puts food when she feels like it she is ready to give me some wet food.
How I Save Money At CVS: 19 April 09
Today I paid $0.79 out of pocket for $3.79 worth of items. I love this ACT mouthwash because it restores minerals to your teeth. My dentist is pleased with my teeth so I guess it works.
I got a $1 ECB from the coupon machine at the front of the store, as well as $10 off $50 worth of items. I amnot sure if I can find enough to fill that order between this week’s sales and the upcoming ones but it would be a blessing if I could combine that with coupons and make a killing.
Update On Poopy Cloth Patrol
So I recently wrote a post about Reusable Toilet Wipes that drew some interesting comments (and emails!!!!).
Just for the record I do agree that using a moist wipe helps with hygiene and does feel better.
In fact I use baby wipes as well AFTER using regular old toilet paper (too much information?) because I feel cleaner that way.
I am not against having that moist wipe usage after using the toilet…I just did not like the idea of using only moist wipes and then having a load of that stuff to wash.
I Am Going Home!!!!!
I will be going home for the month of July this year. I have not been home for a long time (about 5 years!!!) and while I will be happy to see my family…it will be a litle sad since I lost my mother in December last year.
I will finally get to see her grave since I could not go home for the funeral. I am not sure how I will react to that yet…but it is something I need to do.
