Do you have to call like Bell satelitte to order your movies?

You probably could. I think that's how my friend with bell does it. But I have Rogers, I just go to on demand and pick a movie. It's easy peasy!

[SassyAshley]

Nope, no phone call just go to channel 100 and order it right through the TV. I am too cheap to pay for movies but I watch shows I miss for free on demand.

For us (we aren't with Rogers but with Northwestel) you order it right on the TV. There are only 2 video rental places left in town. I can't remember the last time we rented a movie.

Late fees are exactly why I only get movies off my Rogers on demand!! No late fees for me!!

I know. I was trying to be cheap because it was $7.99 on demand and $4.24 at the movie store Sure bit me right in the ass.

[jasperandchar]

I was not impressed with the bill I got today for water. What used to be budgeted at $50.00 per month has now jumped to $100.00 as we now have sewage charges included. Time to rework the budget this weekend.

This question is for Nancy as I know she uses jars or anyone else that feels that want to answer.

Do you miss not using CC for bonuses that you used to get such as SDM points, PC points, AM, CT money or Sobey's points?

I get all these points right now and do not abuse our cards. I only use them at the specific store and they are payed in full each month

[SassyAshley]

I actually just switched from using mostly cash and sometimes my debit card to using my credit cards more. When I was a teenager I got used to using cash as that was how I was paid and hated using my credit card. I have started using my credit cards now to get cash back.

For me the cash back is worth it plus I can easily look at my statement and see if I am on track with my budget where is I know me and cash and I tend to lose track. Either I do not get a receipt for something or I misplace a receipt for something little and I lose track of what I spent the money on. Also seems like the extra money can be tempting to others, I am not sure if it because it is seen it is so tempting but it seems like anytime a little get saved up there are very quickly plans to spend it.
