Today Payday!
Since my payday fell on Thanksgiving, I got paid today. Remember what I said that for some reason, last pay I went through a lot of money really quick? Not this pay. Some things are changing and how I spend my money. The boyfriend plans on going to Wal-Mart on Friday and I picked out some stuff for Sunshine that will be dirt cheap at the sale. Also my work times are changing slightly.
This weekend I am working full 8 hour shifts which means an hour lunch after that I still work a lot of hours but most shifts will be 8 hours with a half hour lunch so I can bring peanut butter and buy a can of soda from the machine. Also, I changed my cell plan and I have been workind on getting free minutes through Virgin mobile. Another thing I am changing is my coffee buying. I probably should quit buying coffee but I can do it cheaper by using a cup. For the size I buy now it costs me $1.29 plus tax for a refill I am paying $.69 saving .60. I work about 5 days a weeks so that is $3.00 savings.
Another thing is I do by a snack when I am the store with my coffee. I will be changing my snack to a bananna $.79 if they look good or 2 donuts (they are 2 for $1 I know not terribly healthy but I burn the calories at work). I will watch odd spending and no extras except $20 for a pair of work pants. I tried looking for pants second hand but can’t find any in my size so I have to get them at Wal-Mart. I would like to have some money left over by next pay, how great would that be. I know I can do it, I just need to be smarter and cut up my Visa debit card because when I cashless I reach for it.
Have a great day
