Seems like

Well I think I fixed a problem on the monster system this morning around here.  By taking out a program and reloading it at 5:30 am seems to have fixed the problem I hope.  One of the things of not paying monthly for some browsers pays off also.  With AOL you do not pay for it when you have the dsl line thru the phone company or cable dsl.  I can fix most of the software problems my self and like it like that.  So I had to reload the AOL big deal.  With alot of things I figure why pay for something when you do not have to at all for the household.  Now I have been good with the coupons even for the household.  I know there are sites that you pay for someone to clip and send out the coupons to you.  I refuse to go that far for that.  I would rather get the Sunday paper and clip the coupons myself.  Coupons and the cards that the stores have are a good way to save around the household also.  I know that Kmart is has their double weeks out of the year for the cents off coupons and with the card also to get points.  It pays off by the end of the year there.  Also with alot of places I will use the coupons to save that much more for groceries and cleaning products for the household.  When there is a buy one get one free at the stores and you have 2 coupons for one you can use both coupons for the sale.  Now if the coupons can be doubled that is even better on the shopper.  There have been times where I have walked out of the store with over 70 dollars worth of coupon savings and that does not include the card savings at all.  What the card does is it takes off for the sale items and some stores have perks with the cards.  Like so much off of gas if you spend so much, free items like turkey or chicken, or point systems to get things free by the end of the month or year depending on what you would like to use them for.  Some of it is tracking for the store itself to see what goes fast and what does not.  I could care less if some track my shopping habbits for the year.  Also with alot of places that is how you get the double coupons off also for the store and the sale price.  Some folks do not care what they spend at the stores at all for the week, bi weeks, or the month.  Just like up at the doctors office today I got asked if I could make a payment there and I told the girl that they had to wait untill at least Tuesday or the week after.  She looked at me shocked and said well we have to get at least 20 dollars off of you.  I looked at her and said well I guess I don't eat for the next 2 weeks or so then.  The girl started freaking out when I said that to her.  Well it is true for me it takes about 20 dollars for about 2 weeks worth of food and I am eating like a queen around here to say the least.  I almost have it down to a since here in the household.  This is what some do not understand about in what I do at all.  The one girl at the doctors office said she had at least 3 grand going out and that does not include the groceries.  All I could do was shake my head.  So now I must be doing something right for my place trying to keep everything under 2 grand at the moment.
