Wow…”Oh well”. I think that is what would bug me the most. Sometimes, I feel so old when I say things like…”what’s happened to customer service?” But, honestly…oh, well. I’m amazed she’s still working there.

I can’t find any place to say one way or another. Any one else?

Comment on 10 Ways I Save Money EVERY Month by Mark MacDonald

It must be hard to budget for a whole month at once! Or the last week of the month is VERY slim pickings!

Congratulations on the NO CREDIT CARD use! The world would be a better place without them — and to think the first card was the Diner’s Club card in the 1950’s — then the 1970’s introduced the “other” cards with the magnetic stripe on the back. 40 years later, the world is addicted to them.

I create a “big” shopping with a budget in mind at the beginning of every month (I get paid once a month) and that covers everything we should need for the month. (food, toiletry, diapers, cleaning supplies, etc) We then have a set amount for going out, grocery, lunch every week. Some weeks are better than others.. but without a goal you have nothing to aim for.
Also.. if there is something we want to do.. we have to trade. Example… I really wanted to take a certain scrap-booking class… but I had to give up something else.. so I decided to color my hair at home for a few months to save the money to take the class….
It is all a mind set….
and almost 8 mo later of no credit card use….. it can be done!!!

I save all my change, doesn’t seem like much but that would include twoonies and loonies (editor: dollar and 2 dollar coins in Canada). It adds up very quickly, and I use it to pay for lessons for the kids, sports, vacations, school trips, etc.
