Sabrina’s Money Madness

Wow, look at that! I couldn’t believe it when I first heard of it but it’s really real which is crazy. In late October, Air New Zealand is holding a casting call for models. But not just any models mind you. They’re looking for people willing to shave their head and act as a cranial […]

I shop every week but I don’t have to. I can wait for two weeks instead. The only thing that I’ll have to change is buying more yogurt (12 as opposed to 6) and a gallon of milk instead of 1/2 gallon.
This will solve two problems for me. I won’t feel like I have to […]

Yeah! It’s Columbus Day and I work for a bank so no work for me today. I didn’t really sleep in though. I woke up at 8am. It’s better than the 6am that I usually get up but I was hoping for a few extra hours. Especially since I didn’t go to bed until almost […]

Or store brand items. I went to the grocery store yesterday and decided I wanted a salty snack. I didn’t want pretzels or chips so I decided on tortilla chips. I started to get Tostitos which is what I usually get. But the store brand was 2 for $5 and so was the salsa. So […]

I’ve started eating more meals at home. It’s not really due to the economy per se although that does have something to do with it. It’s mostly because I just want to start eating healthier. I do eat a lot of grilled chicken at work. I also eat yogurt and cereal for breakfast almost every […]

I never liked it before. I didn’t think I would start liking it now but I do. I go to the store every week for milk, fresh fruit, bread and other perishables. Then once or twice a month I buy soda, eggs and cereal. I also get anything that I may have a taste for […]

For this semester I’m $150.00 short. I don’t know what numbers I was looking at but my budget is really wrong. I do have a small “slush” fund that I can use but that will throw off the numbers for the spring. Right now I’m just going to concentrate on paying off the current semester. […]

I have a Dodge. I’ve seen some really souped up cars that are similar to mine. They add spoilers and racing stripes among other things to make the cars even fancier. It seems weird to see a car that’s the same make and model as mine but looks a lot better because of the customizations. […]

I wanted to enter a sweepstakes. All entries have to be received by tomorrow. It only has to go across state but there is no guarantee that they will get it. It just irritates me that I spent all that time saving and accumulating entries and then didn’t mail them on time.
Next time, I’ll schedule […]

One of my friends wants to go on vacation for her 30th birthday. But she is horrible at saving or budgeting money. She went and got a payday loan to pay for her vacation. The final payment is due this month and she didn’t have the money because it was due before her pay day […]

I don’t always follow my list when I go to the grocery store. I usually stay within my budget though. This past week I grabbed a bunch of extra stuff that I really didn’t need. I got that Brach’s candy that you have to weigh, cookies and ice cream. I bagged the cookies up into […]

I’m leaving the area that I live in within the next year. Right now it’s scheduled for 8 months from now. I would graduate from college (finally) and save money for two months to pad my savings account.
With all of the banks failing and getting bought out by other banks, I’m not too thrilled with […]
