Okay, this is me venting (Jenny)....when did this life become this ridiculous? Gas is now 4.69 at our local station. It went up from $3.60 to $4.04 over night and then 8 hours after that it was $4.59. Now it's up even more! The governor says they are investigating several stations that "could be" fined $5000. And yes I reported them to the Attorney General. But here is my thing. $5000 fine for bilking the public, causing mass hysteria (long lines, no gas and other stations hiking their prices) and that's all they get??? Please!
Then, I call the doctor to get a refill on a basic prescription and I get the "you have to come in for a yearly check up before we can refill it". Now, I don't have insurance so that will cost me $250 PLUS lab work. Seriously? I went on to the American Health guidelines for exams and they said that the recommended checkup is 2-3 years for a healthy woman over 30. That would be me. Ugh. I feel like I am getting robbed everywhere I go.
I started clipping coupons (thanks Holly and Jessica) a couple of weeks ago and really catching on to these great deals out there. I got 2 huge bottles of my favorite shampoo for $2.50 today. That SHOULD have cost me $10.00! Great deal! I have some more that I am working on, still kind of new at it, but it's pretty cool. Andy and I are getting savvy at going out too. Like today we got lunch out but we ordered off the dollar menu and shared a drink. I mean, why not? And we order water at restaurants. I'm determined to beat this system. Who's with me?
