Saving money

Posted by Gaylord Campbell

Today I decided to talk with my roommates about adding a movie package to our TV. Together we went online to cabletvadvisor.com and decided that we wanted to get the HBO package. Lately money has been tight for all four of us, and I told them that I thought this would save us a ton of money. We had been going out to the movie theaters a lot and then spending money on snacks while we were there. Then we would always go out to eat or to get drinks somewhere afterwards and spend more money. Even if we just stay in two or three nights a week it should help our financial situations. We are all in our late twenties now and not in college anymore so we should start thinking about the future and not spend our money like it is burning a hole in our pockets. We are not the party animals we used to be. Although I would never admit that to anyone out of our house. I have an image to keep up you know.

Time is changing on the ostrich farm

1) With the next U.S. presidential election only a year away, are you keeping up with any ongoing political issues?
=No. I hate politics. I don't have time watching it. I rather watch a movie than watching it. It doesn't matter now, they're all the same after they won.

2) In "Tower Heist," which opens in movie theaters today, a billionaire cheats the staff at his apartment building out of their retirement funds, and they come up with a plot to steal the money back. If you were going to take part in a crime plot, what would you want your secret code name to be?
=I don't know. I couldn't think of anything. Well, I will think about it.

3) A friend of mine recently posted a "bucket list" of many various photographs she'd like to take in her lifetime (including ones of the Eiffel Tower, a dolphin, and the Great Wall of China). What would you like to take a photo of in your lifetime?
=A lot! Maybe me at the Eiffel Tower, a dolphin, and the Great Wall of China, at the Boracay beach, and a lot more!

4) Would you use a public restroom that was encased in a two-way mirror structure along a city street?
=No. That's sounds fishy and creepy. I would never use it.

5) If a person is on a diet, is it okay for that person to brag about his or her weight loss to other people?
=I think so. I think it's fine. It might be a good idea as well because then he can share his secret to others.

6) If you inherited a very profitable ostrich farm, would you keep it or sell it?
=I would keep it if its profitable. Why not?

7) With celebrity couple Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries divorcing after only 72 days of marriage, should the couple keep the wedding gifts they received or return them?
=I think they should return it. It's not a good idea to keep gifts that reminds them of their marriage.

8) Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday when clocks will be turned back one hour. Do you feel like the U.S. should keep the time changes or abolish them?
=I think they should keep it. It doesn't matter.

Support your Local Drugstore

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.


It’s been only two months since we became a member of Tricare insurance. A health and prescription drug program which available for America’s military service men and women. When it comes to the idea that being a member of such program, you would expect no red tape, however, a lot of these programs uses middleman in order to get things much easier which sometimes it can be speculative in customers end due to the fact that some things work on some family and some aren’t. Such as problem of how Walgreens and Express Scripts settlement ended due to the not renewed and rejected reasonable offers by Walgreens in order to maintain to provide affordable prices to patients. This worries me, however, when I learned about Walgreens has offering customers an alternative to be a member of the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club on this month of January for only $10 for family and $5 for individual and risk free, I never had a second thought to join.


The best thing about Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens is that, if you don't save more than the cost of your membership during the course of the year of your membership, you'll get a refund of the difference. This is a limited time offer only for those customers who needs a smooth transition and wanted Walgreens to be their primary source of getting a prescription.  It is regularly $35 per annual and $20 for an individual and for more than 8,000 brand-name and all generic medications you will definitely get most out of your money. Also, to enjoy discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizer and diabetic supplies and even bonuses when you purchase Walgreens brand products and photo finishing services.


So, what are you waiting for? Join now. Show your support to your local drug store by following Walgreens on Twitter and be a fan and like Walgreens on Facebook.

Online Fitness

Thanks to Darwin Barton


I’ve been using my clear internet to stream fitness classes more and more lately. I found this awesome gym in my neighborhood that records some of their fitness classes and posts them online. I though that was such a great idea since I love fitness classes, but their scheduled times don’t always work for me. I’ve really been trying hard to get in shape in the last couple of months because my husband and I want to have a baby. I am terrified that if I don’t get in great shape before I get pregnant I’ll end up having a harder time losing the weight after the baby is born. I also think that if my body is in good shape I’ll be more comfortable during the pregnancy and have a healthier baby. I’ve been eating pretty poorly lately because I’ve been working a lot and I don’t want our poor little baby to suffer because I’ve been lazy. I know I need to change my habits, and I think I’m on the right track. The online classes have really been a lifesaver since I can do them on my own schedule.

Shipping Deadlines for Christmas 2011

Last month, my sisters in law were done shopping for Christmas already! I thought of maybe she was shopping every day, but not really. Her husband was decided to just shop online while saving money. Do you know that during Black Friday Deals, you can find wide selection of online sale from electronics, clothing, games, and a lot more! Just like when you shop at the store by searching the Christmas Shipping Deadlines 2011 where you can still place your order and receive it before Christmas. Plus, most of the online store offered free shipping and handling. Aside from free shipping, a lot of stores also offered discount coupons, promotion codes such as Apple Store Coupons. What more could you ask for than saving money?

Anyway, if you are not done shopping yet, then maybe you can check out some of the products you might still need before Christmas. I do my Christmas shopping online too. Good thing I found Best Online Coupons website where I found tons of discounts and deals that saves me a lot of money! So next time I go shopping, I rather go online. When it comes to shopping online, my priority is to find stores that offered free shipping. This is the best thing because then you don’t need to spend extra cash for shipping.
So shop now and happy Holiday everyone!
