Pay Day

Thursday, October 09, 2008

The real challenge has began I actually got paid. I bought three used books from Amazon this came to 24.07, shipping included. I bought 10.85 worth of credits (3 credits) from Paper back swap. So all this is within the bounds of my agreement. I spent 20.95 at Elf.com. They had their entire make up cases 75% off. I ordered 6; none of them were for me. My mom is really bad about wanting to get everyone a little something at the last minutes and then over spending so I am trying to make sure that I have a lot of little things around that I have picked up at a good price for whomever. I did cheat and buy three things for myself, a foundation brush, mascara, and blush. ELF is a really great site most of their make up except the mineral collection is one dollar. This is also true of their make up brushes and nail polish. Shipping is a flat 6.95 unless you order over 75.00 then it’s free. Once you have ordered from them they will sometimes sent you coupons for half off the shipping fee. It’s a pretty cool site if you like make up.

 

I spent 92.92 at Wal Mart this was mostly on pet supplies, paper products, and the things I will need to make paper mache pumpkins and the rag wreath. I don’t think I really cheated there. I spend 41.22 at dollar tree on house hold stuff, lotion, toothpaste. The only thing I really cheated on there was a pack of glass votive holders and a spooky Halloween sign for my room

 

All told under 200.00 dollars. I will also have 300.00 to leave in my checking account to get me through until next pay day as I get paid bi weekly. I am going to get an oil change this afternoon and my boyfriend and I will be going to the video game store and out to eat while we wait. I have to go back to Wal-mart to pick up a few items to bring to the office pot luck tomorrow and a prescription. So unless I break the bank this afternoon I am very proud of my money management.

 

I don’t think I will be purchasing any video games for myself. Between us Matt and I have a Wii, PS2, XBOX 360, and 2 Nintendo DS. The only thing I play regularly is my DS as I often times play it during my lunch breaks. I don’t really have anything that I am crazy about playing on the Wii. I bought Mario Party two years ago but as no one likes that game as well as I do I have no one to play it with. If I buy any games for myself it will be for Wii or DS.
