My New Motto!

I have to admit. I was an impulsive buyer. I saw something I wanted and had to have it. That type of instantaneous microwave generation way of thinking is the same thing that got me into debt once. Thus I realize that it has to stop. No more spending money frivolously on things which have no quality based upon an emotional impulse which will subside in an hour. The high of buying something on an outward appearance. My new motto on any and everything is ="If it can't be bought with a coupon, I don't need it!."

There are things that I would love to have that can not be bought with a coupon of course, like my own home and luxury car of my choice. With time and savings I will be able to have those things. Good things come to those who wait and are patient. So I realize that I'm going to get myself in order financially and live off half of my income.

Goal is to be done with student loans, car note, and miscellaneous debt by age 35.
So I have 3 years to go.

Ms. Frugal Deals - Remember if it can't be bought with a coupon or negotiated for less, you don't need it.

Another Man's Treasure - 2 treasures

This weekend I went out to take out the trash and what do you know I found a 32-inch Emprex HD-3201D TV I also found a six drawer cart near the dumpster. I guess it doesn't sell much anymore at Fry's or any other store for that matter. It retailed between $400-800 in it's hay day. This brand is known for the defect in the power supply. It appears it was manufactured in 2005. I am going to replace both the power supply and the tuner. I found out that I will have to pay only 50-60$ for a power supply on ebay. I have set this as my May 2011 Project. Some people don't like dumpster diving, they think that it's dirty or that it's for the poor. I do not agree.I'm not against dumpster diving I absolutely solute those who can make another persons trash their treasure. I actually wasn't looking for these items or diving for them just there. I've wanted an LCD TV for awhile it's going to be fun to fix and not have to spend so much on it. . It...

The so so "Truly Awesome Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies

So much has been going on so I haven't written in a few months. So here is the skinny. I found this awesome website http://www.bzzagent.com/. They have these campaigns where they send you items to try. I got these in the mail tonight and decided to try them straight out of the box.. YUCK!.. they were nasty cold, hard and tasted like butter cardboard. I learned quickly they are best popped in the microwave for 30 seconds with some vanilla ice cream. This makes for a warm chewy cookie.
