Sabrina’s Money Madness

I usually buy certain foods from WalMart and just get my fresh fruit, milk and bread from the grocery store. However this weekend I didn’t feel like driving to the mall so I just went to my local grocery store. It is so much more expensive! I usually buy a box of oatmeal and it’s […]

I think I talked about my 11am run before but if not I’ll describe it again. Every day I just need to get away from my desk for a few minutes. Some days I walk around the building and some days I just go to our convenience store. I’ll buy snacks when I go to […]

I thought I had a budget worked out where I could pay my spring tuition without taking out too big of a loan. But as I was reviewing the numbers today, I realized that I had overstated my paycheck and tuition money. Going through the numbers really quickly it looks like I mad a addition […]

This is my last payment for the semester. I’m glad that the semester is paid for but I haven’t even had my first exam in the class yet. I’ll pay the bill before the day is over. I hate seeing that chunk of money leaving my checking account. This payment is $606.00 because I paid […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 know that I don’t graduate until April of next year. I don’t plan on moving until the end of May or June. However, it’s never to early to start looking for new apartments. Not only am I moving to a new city, but I’m moving to an entirely new state almost 1,000 miles from […]

How special is it really when the food is not that good? We went out to lunch today and the specials ran anywhere from $4-8 each. I got pizza but I should have probably gotten something else. It was ok but not great.
I really had a taste for Chinese food and I should have just […]

I buy some weird stuff. I don’t really notice it while I’m shopping. Or even after I get home and look at the stuff. But I recently filled my last checkbook register. Before I started the new one, I looked at some of the entries from my previous register. I bought a coat I never […]

I’m looking for ways to cut my expenses. I have some things that I can cut back on like my food budget. I can just buy more economical food and stop eating out so much. I also need to change my cell phone plan and maybe my dsl plan too. I also plan on looking […]

Just call em’ up and ask. That’s what I did with my cable company. I called and asked if I could have a cheaper package. The operator asked a couple of questions, then she gave me a 1 year starter package deal. After the year, the cable will go up but it will still be […]
