Sabrina’s Money Madness

Wahhhh!! I really wanted these shoes but I was being cheap and didn’t buy them. They weren’t that expensive but they’re a pair that I can only wear with 1 or 2 outfits. I finally broke down and decided to buy them. But the store doesn’t carry them anymore. I’ve gone to several websites and […]

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 have 2 magazines that I subscribe to. The subscription is running out soon and it’s time to renew them. I had a 2 year subscription and I got it really cheap. I’m not going to renew right away though. Usually if you wait they drop the prices. I plan on waiting until they send […]

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 […]

Working in banking you see people dressed all kinds of ways. When I worked at my old job we were total slobs. Nobody took pride in their appearance. I then moved to my current job but a satellite location where were required to be business casual. Most days I wore casual slacks and shirts. Most […]

I haven’t been feeling well for the past couple of days. Tonight I ate a bowl of chicken noodle soup but I still wasn’t full. Then I ate a bowl of oatmeal and that made me feel a little bit better.
Once I finished eating I looked in the cabinets to see what I had left. […]

Since I left my milk at the grocery store last weekend, I’ve had to find other things to eat for breakfast. I went into my pantry (actually my cupboards) and pulled out some oatmeal. Just as good for breakfast if not better than cereal in my opinion. I’ve also been eating my side dishes and […]

I had to though. I’ve actually lost a little bit of weight. Not much but it was enough to get down into the next smallest size. I was already close to the size as it was. I probably only lost 5 pounds maximum but it sure feels good. When I was in the store and […]

I went on my weekly shopping trip on Saturday. The only thing I really needed was milk. I got most of the other stuff because it was on sale (like the yogurt and soda) or just because I wanted it (ice cream and pretzels). I spent more than I really like to for my weekly […]

But I don’t mind. That’s because there were some good sales so I was really able to stock up on some things. Yogurt and the diet soda that I drink were both on sale this week. I won’t have to buy soda again for a month and a half at least. I have enough yogurt […]

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 […]
