Made a Couple Sales!

December 14th, 2015 at 09:14 pm

Since my last post, I've sold a couple of items. A portable DVD writer for $30 on Facebook, and a lens for $50 on Amazon. Nothing earth shattering, but it's nice to see things leaving and getting some kind of return on them. I'm also talking with two potential buyers of my extra camera - which would be an extra $500 in pocket. Nothing to shake a stick at! Crossing my fingers.

In less happy news, I got my internet bill for the month - $90! That is far higher than what I'm used to paying, and it's because we went over our data limit. I didn't even know that was a thing until a couple of months ago, and it's never been this high. So I need to talk to DH and see what we need to do to get that lower. Either upgrade or readjust what we're doing. That's just absurd.

Went to Aldi and grabbed groceries today. Spent about $40 - not too bad. We had a couple of meals left over from last week, and we're not going to be doing a ton of cooking this week either. Largely stuck to my list. Didn't get milk because they didn't have the organic 2% this week - after drinking it for so long, I can't handle non-organic milk. It just doesn't taste right to me. Did grab my $3.99 bundle of flowers this week - the last bunch lasted 2 weeks! I couldn't believe it. And these were incredibly fresh and gorgeous. Very much enjoying them already!

Tonight I've got a holiday party. Tomorrow, a meet up for my BNI group (still haven't decided 100% if we're going). But we'll be cooking Wednesday night for sure. Thursday is Star Wars!!! Shout out to another SA member that lent me the first 6 movies so I could watch them all before Thursday Smile

Friday, we'll be having friends over for dinner - and making home made crunch wraps! yummm. The weekend is a bit up in the air, but Sunday I'll heading to my mom's to do holiday baking in the morning. So I may or may not be sticking around for dinner that night. We shall see.

Either way, shouldn't be a *terribly* spendy week. My xmas shopping is pretty much done, so it's back to normal (for the most part). I can't believe how much it all adds up to. It definitely set me back a bit on my goals, and I'm looking forward to finding new ways to make up for that... let's hope.

At any rate, I hope you all have a fantastic week! And yay for all of the great fixes we've seen on the site!! Smile

    Christmas shopping totally adds up, I'm in agreement with you there! Ps I was always going over my data until I hooked up wifi from the home internet for both the phone and iPad, makes such a difference, I never go over now. If you don't do it already you should definitely try it.

    Thanks, everyone!

    @VS_ozgirl - We are hooked up to the wifi on our devices, it's not our data plan on our phone going over, it's the actual internet itself. Which is super weird for me. Apparently we're just streaming way too much? I'm wondering if all of the uploading of photos I'm doing is putting us over as well. So frustrating!

    I guess it's possible if you're using it to run a business. We have 200gb a month and rarely stream so it's more than enough. But when we signed up the plan they said that sometimes people have 500gb a month! These are people who stream a lot.

    @VS_ozgirl - DH also streams a lot, because we don't have actual cable and he's just a *bit* of a sports fanatic. Always streaming a game or watching highlights. lol
