Sabrina’s Money Madness

Well the snow is putting a kibosh on that. There was ice on the roads this morning but no snow on the ground. When I got almost to work, I noticed that it had started snowing. It’s been snowing for the last 3 hours and the snow is sticking and piling up.
I need to go […]

I generally save all of my change and turn it in once a year. Then I get a gift card and buy something for myself. This year I had planned on turning in about $100 worth of change and putting it towards a Ipod Touch for myself. Except I just looked at my change jar […]

I didn’t buy myself anything for Christmas. I was supposed to go and visit my family but there were some things going on that I didn’t want to be a part of so I decided to stay home. I did send my niece some money which she used to buy her daughter a bike. I […]

I guess I shouldn’t brag but I don’t have a lot of shopping to do. My niece is under 2 and her mother and my brother are the only other people that I buy gifts for, and I usually just give them money. That means no long lists with shoes, plus size bridesmaid dresses, and […]

I generally don’t buy gifts online and have them drop-shipped. I like to see them before the recipient sees them just so I can make sure it’s what I want. I’ve been sick for the past week and I haven’t been out at all. It’s getting close to crunch time as far as the holidays […]

I went hog-wild last weekend shopping. I bought a pair of pants and several shirts. I also bought a lot of random items that I needed. I have to work on Friday so I won’t be out with the Black Friday crowds (I usually work so I almost never go out on that day anyway).
That […]

But my niece is digging in my pockets right now and I am so not happy. I had a whole list of things that I wanted to buy. I want a pair of sneakers, a pair of boots and a new purse.
I also had a whole slew of victoria’s secret coupons that I wanted to […]

Just as an aside, I spelled “hole” when I drafted this post. I spelled it “whole” and then I looked back at it just before I hit submit.
Anyway I won some money at the casino. Yippee! Now I have to decide what to do with it. I have an extra $75-100 that I want to […]

Ahhh another way to get great gifts without getting hit hard in the pockets. I love it. This time I’m turning in a bunch of points that I’ve accumulated. The points have come from various internet searches, opinion sites and survey sites. I save all of the points that I earn and I turn them […]

I win a lot of little gift cards. Most are $5 or $10 with the occassional $25 or $50. Well now the holidays are coming up and I don’t know what to get people. First I’m going to gift the gift cards away as gifts. Then I’ll use some of the smaller ones to buy […]

Most of my work clothes are really boring. We’re a business casual environment and trust me when I say that we that we push that casual part to the limit. This morning I tried on 2 pairs of pants before I came to work. The first pair didn’t have a zipper at all. I don’t […]

And how bad is bad? I haven’t spent a lot of money but every time I go into a store that sells home decor products, I’ll look and try to decide if it fits into the scheme that I’ve already imagined my house to have. When I move in, I won’t need a lot of […]
