Today’s Shopping Tip for the Prom

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 […]

10 Shopping Tricks Stores Hate

“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.”

The Urge to Splurge

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 […]

10 Mistakes Shoppers Make

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.

Another Way to Waste Money

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 […]

Did Someone Say Sale?

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 […]
