Go on AmEx!!! and Go Tar-jay!!

I received my travelers cheques and gift card that I redeemed my Amex bonus points for. I ordered these things Sunday and got them in the mail today! To think they had an option where I could pay $10 and receive my stuff in 3 business days instead of the 10 business days @ no charge.

Glad I didn't fall for that mess.

Anyone know if I can cash in travelers cheques at a bank?? I am thinking about using one of the the cheques to pay off another card. Actually, I think that is what I will do. I have $158.23 left over in my budget. I forgot that I received a payout from Cash Duck for $80 and my rebate from my laptop purchase for $150. So that is where the leftover is coming from. I will use that and $15.01 from the Amex bonus to pay off my Avenue card which is $173.24 total.


I can still use the remaining $85 for my daughter's birthday trip. Yeah Amex!!


I returned my Target online purchase to one of their stores today. My online purchase total was $57.21 while my refund total was $63.57. ?? I didn't realize that till I got home and looked at the confirmation email with my total. Oh well. Go Tar-jay!!!


I am on a roll. Gotta love it.

Edited:

I actually have $208.44 in leftovers. So I will not need to use any of the Amex bonus. I can pay the Avenue card off and still have $35 in leftovers. Go me!!!!

My $100 grocery budget and tips for saving on your grocery bill

I did a post back in October on how I kept my grocery budget under $120. In that post, I had pictures of the grocery shopping I had done earlier in the day for a total of $29.76. I also listed a number of ways I keep my grocery budget so low. Today I did some grocery shopping for meat and some other misc items. Here is what I bought: - 2 packages of chicken breasts - 2 packages of drumsticks - 2 whole hens - 2 packages of chicken wings - 1 bag of roma tomatoes - 1 bag of onions - 1 bag of organic baby carrots - 2 gallons of water (not shown) - 1 bottle of bbq sauce Total = $24.90 One big way to save on groceries each month is to package the food you buy into servings sizes. Your serving size depends on how many people are in your family. I separate out my sizes based on how much food my daughter and I consume in one meal. Take for instance drumsticks: My daughter will eat one drumstick while I will eat two. So I package those in threes. I know some folks are visual so here is wh...

Yeah......

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Life has been extremely busy. Trying to get used to the extra responsibilities on top of my existing overflowing list. I will try my hardest to post my do's and don'ts of buying a house tonight. Hope all is well.
