Looking for a deal???

02.14.2010 | 10:46 pm | General | Tags: ,

It seems the way that the economy is, everybody is looking for a great deal on everything from groceries to big screen televisions. I look at the sale papers that are included in the newspaper for daily deals that the local stores might be having each day. Some days they are helpful and some days not so helpful. I have signed up to receive emails from several stores (such as Old Navy and Aeropostale) that I frequently shop for their daily specials, and that really helps. I hate to pay the full retail price for any purchase that I make. What are some ways that you use to save money?

Flooring for the Garage????

What do you get for the person (male) that seems to have everything? Well, I talked to my daughter, Kecia about what she is getting for her husband for Christmas. And, we were looking at some garage flooring for James. I think that would be an excellent idea. I’ve seen some garages with flooring and they look really good. The best thing about gararge flooring is that they are easy to install and remove. So if they ever move from their house and then they can take the flooring with them. So I think this would make a great Christmas present for James or any man who takes pride in his garage.

Health Insurance

You know, it seems that insurance keeps getting more expensive and the benefits keeps getting lousier. The company are looking for a new insurance provider. We renew at the beginning of the year, so I guess now is the time. I just hope our premium doesn’t go up anymore. I really can’t afford a higher premium. If that happens, I guess I’ll be looking for some cheap health insurance. I might start looking on the internet for some rates. I know a few people from work that found their own health insurance at cheaper rates, after our last increase. I know I have to have insurance, so I guess I’ll start looking around.

Thinking about Flooring??

I’ve been looking for new flooring for my bathroom and the kitchen. But I not sure what type of flooring that I would like for these rooms. I’ve been considering vinyl, laminate, ceramic tile and porcelain tile. I’m thinking that ceramic tile or porcelain tile would be the better choice especially for the bathroom since it’s a high moisture area. I work at a flooring store and we used to have some granite that I really liked but now I think I would like a lighter color than that. I have vinyl in the bathroom and kitchen now, so I definitely want to go with something different. But I’m not really sure of the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile. Since I work at a floor store, maybe someone can educate me on the differences and then I can decide.

Thinking About Another Bed…

Well, maybe not another bed, but a new mattress. Of course, my husband and I have different opinions about what type of mattress to get. I would like a pillow top mattress but he would like something a little firmer. So I’m thinking about a sleep number bed. That’s what my sister and brother-in-law have. If you sit on her side of the bed it’s really soft and if you sit on his side of the bed it’s really firm. That would be the best of both worlds. They had it for several years now and they just love it!! I think that would be great for us!

Getting a Simple Auto Quote…

Zach will be turning 15 next month and our car insurance won’t go up yet. But next year, I’ll be checking on auto insurance rates and be looking for the best rate for a good insurance. So far, my girls insurance rates haven’t been too bad, but I’ve heard insurance for boys is a lot higher. But I can always compare auto insurance online to make sure that I’m getting the best rate. Of course, I don’t have any idea what kind of auto insurance coverage that we will be getting for Zach yet.

Wow, just talking about insurance coverage for Zach sounds so strange. He shouldn’t be old enough to drive. And he’s already said that he doesn’t want to drive with me in the car. But that’s just as well, I’m not sure if I’m ready to ride in the car that he’s driving. I guess that will be his daddy’s job.

But seriously, it doesn’t seem like I should be thinking about Zach driving. He’s my youngest and it just doesn’t seem like he should be old enough. He’s getting his learner’s permit and Krista is graduating high school and going to college. My kids are just growing up. Where has the time gone???
