Yeah! I received a cheque for the McCain pizza guarantee for $3.99 (I used a coupon for $1 so only paid $2.99) Not sure where I'm putting my free money lol

[Caseythegoalie]

Anyone have plans for the summer? Frugal ideas for activities? I'm always looking

[jasperandchar]

cath007 if you want to share with us we are hear to listen, provide advice if you want, provide possible solutions or just vent away.

Families do that to us all, drive us crazy and make us mad but sometimes it's worst than it really is....hope that is the case and things are just overwhelming you and hopefully nothing too serious, not worth getting sick over and getting depressed (I know it's easier said than done).

Sending you hugs.

OK, well they increased my pathetic limit of $300-$1800 in the first year(June 2012) and then this year nothing.(so far). My payments have been on time (I'm pretty sure) and usually I make 3-6 per month to avoid interest as I just like the convenience of not carrying cash,etc. Fingers crossed. It was $300 so it would be nice to get it back!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!

My limit was never increased although i'm quite content with my 500 dollar limit because if need be i can pay it off in a pay period.

I found that my miniwheats had pin codes for free breakfast coupons - ordered one for eggos and one for minute maid.
I found out this morning that costco never changed my mailing address for my membership when i updated it online last year, so my rebate check was sent to the wrong address and returned to them. its been reissued and should be here in a couple weeks.

I spent today curled up feeling miserable because of allergies so glad i get a sick day at work.

Went to a theme park for year end trip with my class. Bus broke down on highway and had to wait for another for an hour. Day was good when we got there. My ticket was free, but food was pricey as you can't bring any in and can't head back to the car. Kept it under $20 for the day. So happy with that.

I don't find it right when theme parks don't allow people to brown bag it, you did well only spending $2.00 for the whole day.

[YOU AND ME]

Really wish life would stop sh*tting on us. We are trying so hard to save money and it is like one bad thing after another keeps happening to us.

First we found out we needed to replace the AC, and then found out we couldn't do it without doing the furnace at the same time. Yes, DH got us a really great deal through work, but we could have used that $2,000 to set up the baby's room or finish the basement reno's.

Then last week we found out I missed my court date for speeding ticket, got a letter in the mail friday saying we would have to pay the entire amount of the fine by Wednesday or I will lose my license (I work out of town so this is NOT an option).

Now this morning DH realizes his wallet is missing, with the rest of our basement reno money in it (he took his last bonus out of the bank account so we wouldn't spend it on other things). He thinks it may have fell out of his back pocket when he got out of my car last night. Went to check my car this morning... glove box was wide opened, things were a bit rummaged but nothing else was missing including my gps and bluetooth?

Sorry to hear of you bad luck and i hope you DH find his wallet

Unfortunately I have a hard time just getting my boys to pick up after themselves so doing the job I expect won't happen lol. I told her I want a "good cleaning" From top to bottom. Figured if I'm going to pay I should get the entire house done. Said I wanted floors washed, dusting and bathrooms. She said she is interested and the going rate is $15-$20 hour (I said I would pay cash) Hard to talk money with a friend lol so Frugal me said how about $50 for 3 hours, she said she didn't think she could do a good job in 3 hours so I said ok whatever your think. I'm sure she will do a good job and I doubt it would be more then 5 hours ( I hope not!). For me it's a trust thing too as I would rather not be home when it's being done so to have a stranger do it I would want to be there. And she already has a key

I change between $20-$25 a hr and 3 hours isn't really enough time,the customers that i have it takes 5 hours to do a good job
