Today’s post ran a tad late due to a house showing I went to. The place showed a lot of promise, Three bedrooms, 4 acres, huge garage/shop, in-ground pool, well water and propane. Not to get too excited but I may have found my future homestead. On to the topic of the day is vintage stores. Over the weekend I hit a few Vintage/antique stores and saw some great things. I only bought two things, for a great price, but saw some good stuff. Let me tell you about the experience and what I got.
I’m going to continue the money series I have going on this week. What prompted today’s article was a trip to the gas station last night. I woke up with a terrible headache and needed caffeine. I grabbed a drink and ran my debit card. The machine just sat there doing nothing. The cashier said to run it again. I repeated and still the machine sat there doing nothing. The clerk told me to try it again that it said the network was down. I have another debit card i could have used but I also have cash on me. Problem solved, I gave the man a $20 and was done.
I realized that I have done two article this week on money related issues. Since I’m a very frugal guy I decided to keep this trend going a bit longer. Today I’m going to show you how you can get prepared for enjoying the winter months outside without freezing and on a budget.I’m going to focus on wool but will throw in a few others to round out the list. So lets get into the basics of saving money while keeping warm and protected during the cold and wet months.
Last night at work I was playing on the Survivalpunk twitter account and saw a link to an article that looked interesting. The article was Saving mad money on car insurance! I’m a big fan of saving money so I greedily read this article. The article was short and sweet, very direct and full of tips. I’ve read this guys blog o occasion but after this I’m going to dig into it. I’m a cheap guy and I am working on becoming even cheaper. Let me share with you how I shaved $948 annually on my car insurance.
Starting today and running through the weekend in many parts of the country is tax free weekend. It’s mostly for clothes, school supplies and some electronics. Although I don’t support blowing money on things you don’t need, but if you need to replace or upgrade now is the time.
