Saving some green

I don't know if you know this about me or not, but I'm kind of cheap :). I don't like to spend money on stuff unless I absolutely have to. Of course, I'm no master shopper like PIGS or anything, but when I come across a great deal, I do what I can to make it work for me.

Every year for Christmas I make my family calenders with pictures of my three nieces. Usually I make them on Cafepress.com. However, last week I got an ad in my email for Snapfish (the website I use for picture prints) saying that all calenders were 35% off for the week. So, naturally I went with that. I also usually wait until November to make my calenders, but I somehow pulled it together Friday afternoon.

Here is a snapshot of my ultimate shopping victory:

New Shoes!

It's too bad both of my football teams crashed and burned this year, but at least I can still get some enjoyment out of football:



This is my fantasy football prize. Why yes, I am going to buy new shoes with that.

I have the POWER!!

Funny, I turned off my hot tub a month ago (after recieving a LARGE electric bill) and I got my new electric bill and it went down $100.00.

Thank goodness. I mean, I'm glad I have it and all, but seriously?

The best part about having a hot tub is that one day, when I want to sell my condo, it will help a lot to have that as a bonus. Condominiums aren't very big sellers 'round these parts.

Not that I'm moving anytime soon, but I like to think about these things ahead of time.

P.S.
