When you are shopping for that perfect dress, be sure to wear the stockings and the shoes that you want to wear with the dress. If you can’t wear them, at least take them with you so that you will see what works and what doesn’t. It might be easier to simply shop in […]

“Using Credit and Paying it Off on Time: Sometimes stores will offer a “6 months, no interest, no payments” offer on big ticket items. Pay it off on time, and you’ve used their money for free.”
This has to be one that they absolutely hate. The stores are hoping that you will buy those big […]

I really need to pick up this book and then maybe not. What fun would it be if you quenched that urge to splurge? Maybe I simply need to control that urge! Yeah, that’s it.
I have the best of intensions… honest. I go to the mall and tell myself that I’m only going […]

Why do I know these mistakes?? Probably because I have made most of them… okay all of them.
1. Go shopping because you are bored. That is the quickest way to waste money.
2. You don’t start your shopping armed with a list. If you know what you need, chances are you won’t buy recklessly.
3. You have […]

To be quite honest, I really didn’t know that there was this many ways, but when I began to read the list, I can see how many of us can fall into these traps. And one of my biggest is having to have every Women’s magazine on the rack. I simply can’t come home from […]

I had a boss a few years back that received a green shirt from his mother-in-law. First of all, it was green (his words not mine lol). As a joke, he wore it to work one day and it was really, really out of date style-wise and not in a good way. But the funniest […]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but who here thinks buying movies is the biggest waste of money out there? It’s bad enough they charge an arm and a leg to see the thing in the theater, but then they expect you to pay upwards of $30 to have the privilege of owning the thing. My […]

When a dollar store has a .70 cent bananza blowout sale, can it really be called a bananza blowout sale? A savings of 30 cents on a dollar is hardly what I call a sale, let along a blowout sale. The crazy thing was the store was packed; people were bumping into each other nearly […]

When you’re stuck trying to find that perfect gift for someone, most of us turn to the gift certificate. It’s a little impersonal, but a certificate pretty much guarantees you the chance of not buying the wrong thing. A friend and I were talking about this the other day, and he told me how much […]
