Sabrina’s Money Madness

Yes the holidays are coming up, Mother’s Day in May and Father’s Day in June. Some people
out there need gift ideas. Unfortunately, I’m horrible at gift giving. Well not horrible because most people like the gifts that I give them. It’s just that I’m a self conscious shopper who always worries about the gifts I […]

Which is weird because my scale shows that I haven’t gained any weight. Unfortunately I haven’t lost any either but not adding is always a plus. I went to the store last week to get new work pants and I needed 2 different sizes. That’s not unusual because different designers use different measurements. But these […]

Well the snow is putting a kibosh on that. There was ice on the roads this morning but no snow on the ground. When I got almost to work, I noticed that it had started snowing. It’s been snowing for the last 3 hours and the snow is sticking and piling up.
I need to go […]

I generally save all of my change and turn it in once a year. Then I get a gift card and buy something for myself. This year I had planned on turning in about $100 worth of change and putting it towards a Ipod Touch for myself. Except I just looked at my change jar […]

I didn’t buy myself anything for Christmas. I was supposed to go and visit my family but there were some things going on that I didn’t want to be a part of so I decided to stay home. I did send my niece some money which she used to buy her daughter a bike. I […]

I guess I shouldn’t brag but I don’t have a lot of shopping to do. My niece is under 2 and her mother and my brother are the only other people that I buy gifts for, and I usually just give them money. That means no long lists with shoes, plus size bridesmaid dresses, and […]

I generally don’t buy gifts online and have them drop-shipped. I like to see them before the recipient sees them just so I can make sure it’s what I want. I’ve been sick for the past week and I haven’t been out at all. It’s getting close to crunch time as far as the holidays […]

I went hog-wild last weekend shopping. I bought a pair of pants and several shirts. I also bought a lot of random items that I needed. I have to work on Friday so I won’t be out with the Black Friday crowds (I usually work so I almost never go out on that day anyway).
That […]

But my niece is digging in my pockets right now and I am so not happy. I had a whole list of things that I wanted to buy. I want a pair of sneakers, a pair of boots and a new purse.
I also had a whole slew of victoria’s secret coupons that I wanted to […]

Just as an aside, I spelled “hole” when I drafted this post. I spelled it “whole” and then I looked back at it just before I hit submit.
Anyway I won some money at the casino. Yippee! Now I have to decide what to do with it. I have an extra $75-100 that I want to […]

Ahhh another way to get great gifts without getting hit hard in the pockets. I love it. This time I’m turning in a bunch of points that I’ve accumulated. The points have come from various internet searches, opinion sites and survey sites. I save all of the points that I earn and I turn them […]

I win a lot of little gift cards. Most are $5 or $10 with the occassional $25 or $50. Well now the holidays are coming up and I don’t know what to get people. First I’m going to gift the gift cards away as gifts. Then I’ll use some of the smaller ones to buy […]
