Shopping trip

27th July 2007

Shopping trip

I am so proud of myself.  Last night I went out shopping for school supplies and school clothes.  The reason why I’m so proud of myself is because usually I put this chore off until the last minute and then end up paying outrageous prices.  So, I thought this year I would try something different and get a head start on my shopping.  I’m happy to announce that I got it all done.  I was extremely pleased with the prices so I just kept buying and buying.  Any other year that I’ve gone out and done this, I usually end up paying unreal prices and don’t always get the products that I want because I leave it so late.

Since this worked out well for me this year, I’m thinking that I will probably try to do this again in the following years so I can save myself a bit of cash as well as a bit of frustration.

Warranty for your car

As many of you are aware, a couple of months ago I was involved in a minor motor vehicle accident. Now at the time I thought I didn’t do any damage to my car so I in fact thought that I had gotten away without having to have any Car Repair Costs. But unfortunately this wasn’t the case. Thankfully I had an adequate Car Warranty that covered most of my costs. I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I had to pay these expenses out of my own pocket.

Because of my experience with the accident and the following car repairs after it, it got me in to doing some reasearch on different car warranty plans and especially on how I could obtain a Continental Warranty. So, through my research I was able to find a company at continentalwarranty.com where I could obtain one of these warranties at a very reasonable cost. While visiting the site, I discovered that they offer a 30 day money back guarantee, I can get a quote directly from their site and this warranty would be honored by mechanics from the US and Canada. And of course, if I have any questions or concerns, they are only a phone call or click away.

No one wants to get into an accident and have to use the coverage that they pay for. But wouldn’t it be a nice feeling to know that you have the proper coverage available if and when you need it? Also you will get great satisfaction knowing you have the best possible coverage available to you at the very lowest of prices.

I have holes.

I am so embarrassed to say this, but my sneakers have holes. I never ever buy myself anything new and that goes for shoes as well. I honestly can’t tell you how old my sneakers are, but their pretty old and now my husband is threatening that he will buy me a new pair if I don’t. Well I love him to death but I don’t want him to purchase my footwear so I have decided it’s time to take the plunge and buy a new pair of sneakers. One type of shoe that I really like the looks of is Air Jordan shoes. I love the style and color of them. Now hopefully I can find a pair in my size and then I will be able to let you all know that I broke down and bought a pair of shoes for myself.

As far as the ones with holes, I’ll still keep them and maybe use them for gardening or swimming. They still have some life left in them and maybe if I continue to use them I won’t feel so guilty for buying something for myself.

Success!!

Since we have been going camping quite a bit and going to different camp sites, I needed to purchase a bathing suit.  Normally all I would swim in would be shorts and a tee-shirt but at camp sites they don’t allow this type of attire in their pools.  So, I went on a search for a perfect bathing suit.  I have to tell you all that this search ended up being a very extensive search.  I went to four different stores before I was able to finally purchase one.  The reason for this is because most of the stores I went to only carry size six and up and I’m a size two.

But success was had this weekend even though it came at a very hefty price tag ($45).  So now I’m able to  go swimming with the kids in the different pools that they go into.  So I guess the price wasn’t too difficult to pay.

The low down on credit cards

For the longest time, if someone told me to apply for a credit card I would laugh at them. I always thought that having a credit card was a bad thing but have learned since that if you use it wisely and carefully having credit cards can be a good thing. When used properly they can help you establish good credit and that is the number one reason why I broke down and applied for one. Now I have two. If your skeptical like I was on getting a credit card, then I highly suggest you stop by thriftyscot.co for more information. On their site, they list a wide variety of information pertaining to credit cards. They discuss all aspects of applying for cards and on different interest rates such as 0% Credit Cards.

One neat feature about this site is they explain how you can get a Free Credit Report . So, if you are of the same frame of mind that I was that credit cards are bad, then I suggest that you stop by this site and get the low down on credit cards. If used wisely they can help you establish a good credit rating which will enable you down the road with future purchases.

Virtual escape

One of my dreams in life is to do some traveling. My husband and I plan to do a bit of traveling once the kids are older and out on their own. There are a lot of places that we would love to visit, but I realize that because of the cost this may not be possible. So that is why I was delighted to find this site where I can take a virtual tour of any destination where I would like to go. The site that I found can be found at sidestep.com and they have all sorts of information pertaining to Cheap Travel, air fair, accomodations and my favorite, cruises.

It was a lot of fun walking through this site and checking out the different cruises that are available and the different prices that they offer. One of the best features about this site was how easy it was to navigate. All I had to do was to plug my perferences in and click submit. All the information I was looking for came to life right away. I am determined to set sail at least once in my life time, so I will definitely be checking back into this site again to see where I will be able to afford to go with the help from this site.

Traffic, traffic and more traffic

Holy crow!  Just gotta tell you all that I was just down the road to do some banking business and I have never seen traffic like I seen today.  I realize it’s the long weekend and there will be a lot of people out and about, but I figured that if I left fairly early I would be able to get ahead of the rush.  Well, after seeing the amount of traffic that I did I have come to realize that everybody else had the same thought.  I’m not a fan of driving in traffic, so this was a very nerve racking experience.  Thankfully when we get going in the car off to our camping trip tomorrow my husband will be driving so I won’t have to have this nerve racking experience two days in a row.

Just in case I forgot to mentioned it, I HATE TRAFFIC!

Antique jewelry

One of my hobbies in life is collecting fine pieces of jewelry. So, when I stumble across a site that sells antique jewelry or estate diamond rings I really have to give this site a second look. So, you can just imagine my delight when I discovered langantiques.com. This company is one of the biggest sellers of antique jewelry and estate auction jewelry. You can browse their site and discover all the fine pieces they have for sale. All pieces are unique in the fact that they can’t be bought elsewhere. So, if your a jewelry junkie like myself and have been looking for a unique jewelry site to check out, then I strongly suggest you stop by this site. After one visit, you may just find the piece of jewelry of your dreams.
