Potentially funny thoughts from a local comic
It’s been 2 1/2 months since my last Dollar Tree Dining post. I have been disconcerted by the $3/$5 section in Dollar Tree that keeps growing larger and larger! I have never purchased anything at Dollar Tree for over $1.25 – I must stay true to my roots. Yesterday we went to the largest Dollar…
I am so sorry for not posting for the past two months. I’m back now, and eager to share more exciting Dollar Tree finds with you. At a Dollar Tree flagship store, I found several bargains:
This post is an amalgamation of several recent Dollar Tree shopping trips. I’ve had a couple of disappointing experiences, recently, at Dollar Tree. One store had a freezer section that was full of exotic new items, but they were priced at either $3.00, $4.00, or $5.00. That’s a new thing. Obviously, I’m not going to…
With food getting so expensive, I made a list of dirt-cheap meals in my bullet journal. Some of it is kinda ridiculous. Much of it is the opposite of foodie. Most of these meals can be adapted to be vegetarian or vegan. If you need a recipe, google it. You may have to sift through…
Nearly everything is getting significantly more expensive. To top off this hellacious year of inflation, my favorite store, Dollar Tree, threatens to morph into its ugly sister, Family Dollar. I won’t even go into Family Dollar in a pinch; it’s full of trashy and overpriced items. If Dollar Tree becomes like Family Dollar, it might…
I went to Nordstroms.com because I wanted to buy the Estee Lauder “Defend by Day, Detox by Night” collection. I purchased a face cleanser for $10 to bring me up to $45. That way, I could also get the free gift that also included a day and night face cream, mascara and several lipsticks. When I got…
I started out November at a disadvantage, ok?! I needed to pay for car insurance, an oil change and a haircut. $550 was already gone by the second day of the month. I still could have easily made it through November under budget, though. Little did I know… In essence, my “urge to spend” switch…
I haven’t blogged in nearly two weeks because I’ve been busy writing a book about saving money for Nano: http://nanowrimo.org/dashboard. I worked at an affordable housing conference for two days this week. I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely couple, Alexis and Christian, from Tiny House Expedition: http://www.tinyhouseexpedition.com/. I also attended a roundtable discussion they…
I am rocking the thrifty! Last weekend I was a little worried because I’d already spent 73% of my budget for the month. However, today is 10/18, I have 2 weeks left to October, and I’ve only spent $100 in the past week. Not bad and I may actually beat my goal! My spending this…
Those of you keeping up with my blog might know that in September my man and I were competing to see who could spend the least amount of money. I lost, but not by much. On the last day of the month, I “had to” buy a fire pit from a dude on Craigslist for…
