Shaking my head

Now I know in why I do not like Walmart at all here.  Since I still forget things while I am out here and that is ok at this point in time.  What I do not like is people that come up behind me and start squaking about the fist of coupons that I have and use at the check out lanes.  Alot of folks do not get the coupons and refuse to use them totally.  Alot of the coupons you can get out there are hooked up with the sales at the stores totally and alot of the things you can get for either free or almost free.  With the buy one get one free deals you can use 2 coupons totally then you have something like the deals for 2 for 4 dollars lets say and you can still use 2 coupons on the sale.  With that being said here if you ever watch the coupon show on the TLC channel they can explain it better than I can at this point in time.  So I will be working on that part of the household again at the stores when I do go again.  Also my Dear Husband started laughing here when I looked at him and said here's coupons for tomarrow here for when we are out of the household.  This is what happends when I do get the coupons totally in the mailbox here at the house.  It seems like we get more here at the house than while we were at the can.  So now that I do use alot of them out of the mailbox when I do not feel like cooking at all here during the week.  Since I can walk to many places from the house here without a problem at all it is well worth it all when I do get out.

Way to hot

Well yesterday was bad and tomorrow around here will be worse with the heat.  So I am not sure if I will get out of the house tomorrow except for once to get my Dear Husband from the truck here.  Of course the best way to combat this one is to get out today and do what needs to be done early here before all of the heat builds up.  That is why I guess that I try to get everything done early in the household here.  With that being said some people get in what I have been doing out on the grill to where others do not still at this time.  Just like yesterday here I got told again that the window units were nothing but fans by the one neighbor.  I just shook my head and said ok whatever and I know different here.  Now at this point yes it still gets warm in the house and the window units are going full blast here.  That is why I try to block up as much as I can here so they do not have to work as hard during the day.  Anyway at least there are ways of doing here without a problem at all to try and keep cool.  Also the guy was knocking the garden already yesterday to me while I was out.  Then again the guy only plants tomatoes for the summer in the front yard.  Since I have tomatoes, onions, and egg plant I guess it is not to bad at all since we got a late start on planting.  The carrots and radishes here are growing also at this point in time.  Now I will get my Husband to plant the 2 other raspberry bushes that we have here and see what happens for next year with them.  With the raspberry's and blueberry's I will not have to by any I hope next year for pies and other goodies that I want to make.  So now to see what is going on outside this morning here along with afew other things of course to start the day here at the household totally.

Looking around

At this time I have about 5 minutes of clipping the coupons that I printed out yesterday around the household totally.  Also my Dear Husband did not know in what I was doing all day anyway and that is fine by me here of course.  The man knew that I was going to pay the loans on the household yesterday morning and did not know what else that I was going to do for the day.  So now here I am free to get some things done here today that I did not get to yesterday at all.  With that being said here my Husband called mainly here to ask a question and tell me that since Sunday he had not charged his new phone at all as of yet compaired to the other phone.  By that point in time it was 36-48 hours later since he charged the new phone up.  Now this tells me something here totally.  So now here at least I know that I can go without charging the phone up at all for at least 24 hours here in the house.  That saves me right there compaired to the other phone.  Pluss I was on and off the phone all day here totally yesterday.  Since I am looking around here totally and trying to get cheaper totally I found part of it out with the cell phones along with afew other things here in the household without a problem at all.  Also here at least I can say that somethings never do end for the place at all.  SInce I am back with the coupons here yet again on alot of things for the house here to help out with that part of the budget it is all good.  The one grocery store will take the printed coupons here without to much hassle at all also while I am at it.  Another thing about some places is that they all do not mind coupons at all when ya have a stack of them to turn in for the order since the cashiers do not have to lift anything for about 5 minutes if not more here with some of us.  Pluss it is a good way to start saving money on that part of the household.  I found that out when I was really broke and money was coming in at the trailer also at that point in time.  So I started with getting coupons with the paper to streach out the grocery budget and the cleaning budget there.  Between that and the nickle returns that I would take in at the time it was well worth getting 75% off of the bill nomatter in where I was at.  Now with the household I had laxed up on alot of things here and that is fine since I am starting in on alot of things again for the place.  Sometimes some of us need a break from the work that we do.  With that being said here I will start posting free things on the blog again here since I do try to get that part done here.  The mail gal that we had asked me where I got alot of the free things in the mail and I told her about it.  Since samples of things are always good for a back up in the household anyway that is what I have done over the years.  Soap is a good thing nomatter if it is laundry, dish, or bath soaps that you get as a sample.  Or in case of my Sister in Law here forgetting what she had bought and still had in her place only to buy more, then to pass away on us.  So as I sit here and had looked in the one cart that I have for some things here for the bathroom the sucker is full again on me so I will not need any bath soaps for awhile again.  At this point in time it will not fill the holes up in the one container at all unlike 5 years ago in May.  Now I can somewhat laugh about that part of things here.  Anyway it pays off to try to cut down on everything in the household nomatter where you are at.  So now here this is why I only need some food for the freezers and that is it at this time.  Now to get motivated enough to start part of the housework and go from there for the day.

Shaking my head

Well I finally got the power bill yesterday around here and it was not as bad as I figured it would be.  With the 2 window units and the 2 loads of laundry that I threw into the dryer here the bill was only 103 dollars for the month.  So now I will keep the power off as much as possible around the house here and see what happens after that.  With that being said here at this point in time it seems weird that I do not mind the radio at all when it comes down to everything for the household.  Even with the new phone here I am not charging it up every 3-4 hours anymore so I am saving there on the power bill totally for the household.  So the power bill will be a toss up for next month here since the area is getting up in the higher 80's to middle 90's also at this point.  The first things to go is the T.V., and computer totally here for the household again along with not using the dryer at all for laundry.  Since alot of things are unplugged during the day anyway it helps at least one bill to be lower here in the household.  The grill also helps out with not heating the house here during the day when I need to cook.  This is what gets to alot of folks in what I am doing at this point here for the household and some power bills are pretty high also once I think of it all.  All of us got to talking about the power bill and a few other bills while we were outside about a week ago.  Some do 3 or more loads a day for laundry at their place since they have children in the household still.  Since my Husband had said something about the line going up soon here outside it will be a good thing on me here even if I put the towels and blankets up on that part of things then to have the drying racks for when I have to get alot more out if I ignore parts of the laundry here for weeks on end.  The weird part about things here is that I have been doing all of this on my own here and will continue to do so without questions about it all.  So now with the good phone here for the house and alot of other things that I will be trying to do to get that much cheaper for the place it is not that bad at all.  Since I am still switching things over to the cheaper end here for the house for the cleaners, I know some people got fairly mad about that part 6 months ago.  Some do not even know in what I have switched out as of yet including one of the window units here since they have not been over at all in almost 5 months.  With the window units here I will say it again close the rooms off that are not being used at all and block off places without doors that are hanging.  I have a blanket/curtain to block going down stairs here to keep the kitchen and living room cool along with all the doors closed also.  Also I have a window unit upstairs for that bedroom here.  Now last year I got one unit in the beginning of June and it worked well for the main floor if all the doors were shut along with the blanket up near the back door.  Then came time that I needed one for upstairs also and got that one also for the place.  Since it will be years before I can get a centeral a/c unit for the household now I will have to work with the window units and I may as well get use to what I have to do for the place anyway to keep it somewhat cooler at this time.  Anyway at least I can say that it all works for what I have been doing so far here for the place and I am always looking to get that much cheaper also.

Shaking my head

Well I will say that my Dear Husband tried and so did I after all said and done here.  My Husband called the 800 number for Cricket and I walked up to the place that I got the ZTE's from and said ya got one chanse to do right with the question that I have.  Both said NO to the question and all I have asked for was the 94 dollars PERIOD from them that was never used off of my phone number.  I told the gal that I have the forms at home sitting in my email to print for the State of NY and the FCC and will call my lawyer here as soon as I walk thru the door to my place and that is about 4 minutes away on foot.  Now I have the form in my hands on the Kitchen table and will make the complaint out in how the guy up on Deleware In Buffalo NY talked in circles untill I stoped him the first and second time and how the one on Niagara Falls Bulve.  Blew me off also here within about 27 Hours here and robbing me of the 94 dollars period.  Now some will answer or I keep up with all of the blogs and totally nail the company here for what they are worth on their own Crappy Service and that is it.  Now to fill out the paper work here and make copies of what I have and make sure if ya have Cricket to get the copy of the last bill Period.

Fighting mad

At this point in time I have not made a phone call to the main office for Cricket again.  With the flex bucket being at 94 dollars and the one manager told me that was part of the phone plan when it was not.  The money looks to be gone at this point totally.  It makes me mad when I get robbed for that amount of money totally here for something that was needed at the time since I could not see going without the roaming minutes totally when I traveled.  With that being said here at least I still have phone service thru anonther company now and will stick with the one I have now.  I have better coverage now than what I did with Cricket and a better phone here without the worry about the junk that Cricket has now in their stores.  When I went to Illinois in November I hit up several of the Cricket dealers there and on the way up and nobody wanted to see what was the problem with the internet on the phone nor help me out at that point, out of 6 stores.  That was when the problems arose with the Cricket company totally.  The last phone here that I had which was the ZTE phone it went postal within about 24 hours.  With the phone shutting off by its self, dialing out, rebooting without anyone around, apps on the phone doing what they wanted with nobody near the phone, and not keeping a full charge what so ever I was done when I got told from 2 different stores that there was nothing that they could do at all since the phone would not do everything on command.  Also another person that was at the Deleware Cricket store out in Buffalo NY was having the same problems with the Mauve Music that I was it was down for 4 weeks and could not use it and was being charged for that part of things also when we could not use it.  So I will not endorce any of the Cricket adds on my site at all now after being treated very bad for the past 7 months here.  Oh and the store out here on the Niagara Falls Bulve. and Millitary here in Niagara Falls NY, when you would go in with a phone problem or a service problem the first thing out of their mouths were "Oh Well and We CAN'T FIX IT" without even looking at the phone at all.  Or the costumer would have to call the 800 number and trouble shoot the phone over the phone totally to get the problem fixed.  At this point I would rather see folks get a 2 year contract at another company and reliable service for what you pay for.

Looking around

Well I got to looking around here in the household yesterday after we got back from getting the cell phones done here totally.  I know that I have to get alot cheaper here in the household and that will be getting done without a question at all after yesterday.  As I noticed that I have alot of the back stock built up again here for the household I am good on that part of things for the place here and will not have to get many things at all here for a good while at all.  It will be the little things like milk, bread, onions, potatoes, and some meats also at this time.  With alot of things still growing in the garden we will be set on that within a couple of months also here for the household.  That is one of the reasons of why I wanted the garden in the first place here for the house so I can cut down on the price of produce at the stores.  With that being said here at this time since I did get to looking around I have noticed some things that can be cut down and or out at this time totally yet again and I am working on that part myself.  With the cheaper products in the household and I have spent less than what some folks figured that I did at the time.  When it came down to getting dish soap for under 76 cents along with under 90 cents for shampoo and conditioner I am there totally on that part of things for the place.  If some folks that were coming over knew in what I had done they would have flipped out and cut me down that much further here than what they were doing at the time when they were coming over.  Even the poor manager at the one store that I went to looked at the total of the bill before and then asked if I had the card for the store.  I said here is the card and lets see where the bill comes up to now for the day.  The poor mans jaw hit the floor and said you just saved 50% off of the bill today if not more with the card period.  That did not cover for the coupons that I ended up getting also with the bill that was cut by alittle over half.  I also got back up there during that week to get more of the dish soap along with the shampoo and conditioner while I was at it.  This is what some would have not got at that point in time in what I was doing for the 2 areas of the household at all here at the time.  Now others have got it and I do not have to go out to get that part of things for a good while here at all.  So now at this point in time at least I will say that some things that will not be needed here at all I will get to save money on that part of things here without a problem at all.  Also now with the phone here I do not have to run the power hardly at all anymore with the radio nor the computer here during the day if I do nor want to.  I can pick up the radio off the phone totally now for free and go from there.  So that will help out also here in the household for that part of the power bill and I will let you know in how the battery does off of that part of things also here.  The funny thing about all of this is that since some folks did not know in how cheap I really am and about to be even cheaper for alot of what is going down now for the house here.  I have kept alot of things from the can and brought it to the house here totally.  Alot of it is second hand in what I was trying to do in the first place at the can.  There are always the ways to get the bills down and I am still figureing all of this out here at the house.

Thinking

Well I have been thinking around here as normal in the household.  I have figured that my Dear Husband and I got out of Sabre Park when we did here 19 months ago.  At this point within 19 months the lot rent went up almost 100 dollars above the 2 loan payments that we have now.  I was in shock when I was told that out of one of my old neighbors this past weekend here.  It has got me to thinking about what if the both of us were still there and we would have been stuck till the very end totally.  The nice thing about where we moved to here is that alot of things are cheaper here for the household while other bills went up.  So now here that is why I have been trying to switch every thing over from the Green Works products for the household over the past 7 months here also.  With the Ajax dish soap, Purex laundry soap, and the Ajax scrubbing cleanser things have got alot cheaper in that way here.  Since I do not watch alot of T.V. during the week here while some are at work it gets turned off totally from the power strip along with other things not being used and unplugged also.  That is how I end up with a power bill that is about 50 dollars a month here for the house compaired to the 90 dollar pluss power bill from the can here.  Also I am not using the dryer except for maybe 2 loads a month to dry the laundry.  This is why I have the lines up down stairs and the drying racks for outside at this point in time.  Also I am still using coupons at the stores at this time even though we moved and I have started shopping smarter here.  It is well worth the trouble to get alot of things off the cards along with the coupons.  Pluss I get down to Punxy also to do alot of the dry bulk shopping at this point of the year also.  Once the weather starts cooling down again so things will not spoil at all I will start getting the freezer and the fridge stuff also here for the household.  There is so much going on at this point in time that I have to be cheaper from now on here that it is not even funny.  Thank goodness that I have stocked up on things that are needed anyway here in the past almost 5 months here.  Also since I do not have to worry about some coming over anymore to the house here it is even better on the budget that has been set up here also.  So now at this point in time since alot of things are sticking around longer here it seems wierd that I do not have to worry about things anymore of what is running low or the budget was blown up here since the power was going all of the time.  With that said alot of things have calmed down in the almost 5 months that some have not been here at all.

Shaking my head

Well I did get 5 loads of laundry done and out on the drying racks today.  It amazes me in how something so little can wipe me out totally around the household at this time still.  So between everything here I do want the lines out side again with alot of room so I can get more out and less trouble on binding over 5 racks to say the least.  So I will see what my Husband can do for this weekend here and go from there.  Since there is at least 2 of us on the block here that still hangs laundry up outside and in the basements here it is not that bad since we can talk while we are hanging everything up while we are out.  Anyway that was only part of my cheap day here and I will take it that much further tonight since I am that tired already here for the day.  At this point in time I have to fold some of the laundry here along with watering the garden also here tonight while I am at it all.  So it will be a long night here either way that I look at it.  At least I do not have to cook at all today here since I do have some leftovers for tonight.  I guess tomarrow I will have to get out to the meat market here or to one of the stores here so I can cook either outside or in the crock pot.  Well I better be off and on the run again here so I can get more done here.

Shaking my head

Well it looks like it will be hotter this up coming weekend so I will have to cut back someplace here in the household again for the power.  The things to go is the lights, computer, and the T.V. around here totally up untill about 6 pm if not later than that.  So now with that being said here at least there is the radio and several books that I have been wanting to read anyway after I get some of the housework done today here.  Since tonight the buckets outside go to the curb here for tomarrow morning it should not be that bad at all here today with what I have to do.  Then there is the laundry that needs to be done for the day here without a question at all also while I am at it in the next few days here.  Thank goodness for the drying racks all the way around for the household.  Since I do not have the lines outside at this point in time here the racks will have to do for now to hang the laundry up to dry.  I know that I will get a power bill here shortly anyway and I will see how high it went for the month here with the 2 window units and without the dryer.  This year is totally different from last year here since the dryer is not being used at all except for maybe 2 loads of laundry instead of 10-20 loads like the one gal did to me.  So I will see this month totally in what is going on and down here.  Since the gas bill went totally down this month I was impressed with that part of things also for the household.  At 50 dollars on the budget plan where am I going wrong here at this point in time?  That is what would hurt some folks that if they knew that the bills were and still are coming down for the household after they dumped me and I redumped them totally 3 weeks ago.  So now at this point in time I have not started anything as of yet here in the house since I have to clean out cages today on top of everything else here.  So it will take maybe 3 hours in what I have to do here for the day.  Who ever told me take an hour a day to clean was out of their God loving minds totally when they told me that part of things along with they had 3 other people living in their place.  So now at this point in time there is not alot that needs to be done at all and maybe that is why I am stalling out also here for the day.  Oh well at least things will get done either way today.  Also it is the 1 year marker after my neck surgery and that it seems wierd at this time to be saying that part.  Anyway I am looking for a good day here in the place and go from there.  What got to me the most here on Monday is that I had started cleaning and my Husband was in shock in what I was doing totally as the normal grind of things while he was home.  Now he can not complain that I do not clean any longer here after this week.  The funny part of it all was that I was always doing something here and will continue to do so each day and week here in the place untill I can get it all done.  And yes it will be done on the cheap end of things as normal.  Oh well now to get started on the place in what I have to do and go from there.
