Keep More Money in Your Pocket

I love shopping, it is no lie.  But, I like to cut a fat hog in the ass, so to speak ;)   LOL!!  Finding great deals is my top priority when shopping.  I hardly ever buy anything at full price, unless I order it online thru an affiliate where I can make money back.  Finding great deals is top of my game and when you ask my husband or son about my shopping habits they will roll their eyes and say what a pain it is to shop with me. But, hubby can agree that my frugalness keeps more money in our pockets for other things.

I shop online, a lot.  I bet I shop 3-5 times a week online.  Because of where I live I don’t like to actually go to stores to shop.  I am about an hour from town so shopping online and having things shipped to me is more my style.  I can find more discounts on secret sales by shopping online.  It is also fun to get extra savings at achica online.

I think for last Christmas I bought all my gifts online.  I know I buy stuff for Birthday’s, Mother’s Day, Get Well, and just because gifts all online.  Why not?  When you can save money, shop from home, in your jammies.. it is a win win for me :)

Do you like to shop online?   What is your favorite store or favorite thing to buy online?  How often do you shop online?

My Cell Phone Dilemma’s

My cell phone dilemma’s  ~ Why oh why do I have to do this to myself?   Because I am a woman and I am allowed to be undecided about things.  LOL!!   So, here is my dilemma.   Ever since the iphone came out I have had one.  Started with the very first one, and kept getting the next model and next model until I had the iphone 4S.   I loved it!!  Had a few complaints but for the most part loved everything about it.  Never wanted to even look at another kind of phone since mine had everything a girl could want.

Well, I am working with a PR Agency and they offered me a new phone in exchange for my work.  I could either choose the Samsung Galaxy SIII or the HTC One.    I have never looked at either and had no idea about either of them.  So, I did what most people who have to make a decision do…. I asked my friends.  Well, the majority ruled and so I got the Galaxy.   Now, the Galaxy is way different than the iphone and I it is taking me some time to figure it out.   I could operate my iphone with my eyes closed!  Not this one, even with one eye closed!  It rang the other day and I couldn’t even figure out how to answer it.  Man, I am not that dumb but it is like so far off from what I am used to.   So my decision is do I keep my new Galaxy phone, or my old iphone.  Then I have to figure out how to sell a phone to make sure I get the best price, since the Galaxy is obviously new, and my iphone was new in January.   So, you can see I have a huge dilemma.. can’t you ;)     What are your opinions on the 2 phones I have?

Getting a Shopping Fix with #MoreatSears

Yes, I confess, I am a shopaholic.  But, In my many years of experience I have being a shopaholic I have learned many lessons and I do think that I am smarter in my ways of shopping than I used to be.   I used to go to multiple stores to get what I wanted and would tire myself out.  Now, that I am older and the internet has made it easier I like to shop online and tend to buy what I need from as few a places as possible.  Just like last week, I needed a new hotplate cook top stove thing for my son’s apartment, and an exercise wheel.  So, I ordered them both from @Sears.   Saved money and got what I needed in one place.  What is cool is that the items I got are totally different from each other and I was able to get them at the same place.

Saving time while shopping is key these days as life is so busy for everyone.  That is what makes #MoreatSears so awesome!  You can browse a site that has mastered one stop shopping.  Pretty much anything your little heart desires is at the click of a mouse.  Sears.com carries some of your favorite brands like Ray Bans, Nike, Tory Burch and many more.  Knowing that you can get everything you want in one shopping experience will help you with any household, or gift items you have to buy.   New arrivals every week so one just never knows what they will find.

Fitness Gifts for the Man in your Life

It was brought to my attention that I didn’t include any gift idea’s for the man in your life when I did my post about fitness gifts. I didn’t even think about it, as my husband could honestly care less about anything fitness… LOL! Sorry :( So.. I compiled a list that any fitness minded man would love to have.

Men who visit the gym would love a bag like this.

If your guy likes to workout at home it is great to have a nice set of dumbbells. These are nice because you won’t have a ton of pieces all over as they are adjustable.

For any guy who lifts weights (or girl) gloves are so important to have to save your hands. These would be a nice stocking stuffer.

If your man is a golfer he might love this.

How about getting ripped at home with P90X.

No matter what you get your man, I am sure if it comes from you with a smile it will fit his wish list this year. You can even do a massage certificate, a gym membership for the both of you, or a gift card to the local whole food store or GNC.

Have a Merry Christmas :)

My Christmas Wish List

When one asks you “What do you WANT for Chirstmas” what do you say?  I usually say.. Uhhhh… Ummm… Oh I don’t know.   It seems like I have everything a girl could want.  Well, really I don’t.  There isn’t anything I totally need and can’t live without. BUT, There is lots of stuff I do WANT :)   LOL!

So, just in case I have a secret admirer or 3….   Here is my Christmas List.

I have been drooling over this new vacuum from Dyson for a while now. I do have a big ol’ Dyson Ball Animal.. but only have throw rugs and one area rug so it is a bit much to drag out.. daily!   This would be so nice to have!  The Dyson DC35  (I even like the reconditioned one.. cheaper ! )

All it took was one session at my local spa (Spa Sensations of Duluth) and I was sold on the Infrared Sauna. I have always wanted one, but until I actually used one I didn’t know how much I truly wanted and needed one. It felt so good, and made my body feel great! My Fibro really wants this.

If you follow my blog, you must know I am a dog lover. I love my dogs, and treat them like my kids. Well my big boy Marhsall (my Golden) has had a huge kennel in our home since we got him. So, for over 9 years we have had this big ugly kennel. We got it used, so it was not in the greatest shape then. Well, for 9 years we have been saying we want a wood one. He loves his kennel, it has no door but is his safe haven. I want to get a log wood one for an end table to help with our living room space. I would love this.. and so would Marshall.

One of my favorite snacks/treats is Cliff Bars. I would love to have a year supply of them since I can only buy the ones I like at Target, and just don’t go there much. So, when I go, I stock up! I came home with 8 boxes the other day and hubby about died! But, we love them above any other bar we have tried and so I like to have them on hand, in my purse, in my car, etc.


I am sure I could go on and on with things I want… but right now being I am happy for the things I do have… I just wanted to share a little of what my “big wish” items are.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays :)

Enter the Sears Holiday #styleSurprise Sweepstakes

I am not going to lie… I totally love to win things!!  YUP..  winning rather than buying is so my style.  But, my style is also shopping Sears Shop Your Way.   Oh how I would love to win this #styleSurprise Sweepstakes, where they are giving away $5000 worth of SYW Points.  So much fun, and so much stuff a person can buy with those points.

Such an easy Sweepstakes to enter too.    I entered, now it’s your turn.

When (If) I win I am going to have so much fun shopping.  Since we don’t exchange for the Holiday’s I would so spoil myself with some new clothing.   I would like to get some new shoes, a jacket, some dresses, even jewelry.  I really need a clothing makeover.  I would also get my son and hubby a few things.. if they are good to me. One of the things on my list is this beautiful dress ~
