Good Advice Part 1

I wanted to pass on some really good advice I have gotten over the years. Some of it I took and some I passed up on only to now wish I would have taken. A lot of this advice obviously works better if you are young,unattached and do not have any children though it could still be taken just maybe a tad more difficult. This will be a series that I am working on. I hope they help out someone.


This is by far that absolute best advice I have ever gotten and two people told me :

Claim Bankruptcy

Now I don't believe this is for everyone and I really feel that it should not be used for people who are just careless with their money. The reason I ended up in debt was medically related (and this was with health insurance) which unfortunately left me on disability for two years. I had no where to go so I had to still pay rent and regular bills not too mention Cobra payments. Let's just say that my disability checks didn't cover it all. Then of course my vehicle was breaking down constantly on top of it all and yeah it was a mess. I ended up having to use credit cards to help pay for normal stuff like paying my electric bill and putting gas in my car to go to the doctor. I seriously spent $10 a month on food and this was BEFORE I truly knew how to use coupons so I lived off of ramen noodles and I can seriously say I have never been so hungry in my entire life. I unfortunately (don't ask I don't understand) did not qualify for any type of government help so I barely ate because I could not afford to. But with all of this I put my bills first and paid with one credit card to pay another and so forth. I was very determined to get out of my hole and pay them off. I just didn't want to live on the street and well, if I did not pay rent I would have ended up there. So my credit cards were my saviour. Thank god for them. Some people have family and friends who will help them in their time of need I had my credit cards. Better than nothing right?!

Like I said for years I tried getting out of this horrid hole but this also all coincided with the whole 911 thing so jobs were scarce (though not as scarce as now). I did what I had to do to pay my everyday living bills (rent, electric etc.) and made the min. payment on all my cards but it was clear to me they would never be paid off. I still paid them every month but deep down I knew it would take a miracle.

I had a friend who constantly said just claim bankruptcy you will be so happy you did. Her and her husband had and it truly did not seem to affect them. Then I causally dated a guy and he mentioned that he had claimed bankruptcy so I spilled the beans and told him my story. He told me to most definitely claim bankruptcy.

I finally decided to look into it. I realized there would be no way I would ever be able to pay it off. I could not imagine having that hanging over my head now I don't know what I would do. So I went for it and did it. This was before the laws changed and truthfully I can't even recall what year it was. Let's just say I am so very glad I did. I can not imagine being a single parent and having those debts hanging over me never letting me get ahead.

Again I don't think it is for everyone but for some it is the best answer. I personally feel that people who were beyond careless and just spent, spent, spent should be responisble for their debt but I feel when it comes to things related to medical, losing a job, losing a spouse etc. then I feel it could be the right thing to do. I was always very responsible and paid my bills on time and saved money but even with that when something unavoidable happens and it leaves you not being able to work well you have to find some way to avoid being homeless. I had no one to live with or help me out so I had no other choice than to rely on my credit cards.

Some Freebies for You All!!
















Johnson and Johnson Frog Toy from 2009?

Does anyone remember that link that had the info for it? I sent the necessary receipts/upcs whatever was required but we have never received it. This was from about November of 2009. I must have deleted the link I had for it but I wanted to email them and see what happened. Yeah, I know I should have done that a long, long time ago. lol

Hooked On Phonics

Go here to Overstock.

And you will see the prices don't seem to bad. But it gets better! Use code :SLICK50 and you will get 50% off those prices!! I believe (not sure though) you can use that code on any item on their website. But I know for a fact it works on their overstock page.

Here is a copy of my order. This is the second time I have ordered from them and I personally feel that their products are nice. Of course everything works better if you continue to use over and over. :)

Pampers Points

Here is a list of Pampers Gifts to Grow points. It should give you a total of 534 points. These codes do expire but they seem to last way longer than the Huggies points. It does take a lot of points to redeem something but if you have to buy diapers and wipes you might as well get something back from them. Especially since now the Caregivers Market Place no longer offers cash back on Huggies products. Which is very upsetting! I figure I have close to a year on using Pull Ups maybe less if I get lucky and was looking forward to the 75 cents back per pack.

Pampers Gifts to Grow program has changed but they finally got their website working correctly. I recall when they first changed over I not only lost all my points (which they never gave me back) I also was unable to log in for 3 months straight. They also no longer charge shipping aside from Shutterfly items.

What are You Getting Your Mother ?

My mother's birthday is close to Mother's Day so this year she decided she wanted to celebrate them both together. Which makes things easier I suppose.


Here is everything my son and I have gotten her for her bday and Mother's day (you will see loads of items from my drugstore purchases!):


Maxwell House Coffee (from the Avatar deal at CVS - which will be a bday present for my sister)

Robe (from CVS - which will come in handy next winter)

Razors (from this week's deal at Wags)

2 Nivea Body Washes (from this week's CVS deal)

Coffee Mug Set with Tray (from Kmart's after Christmas sale)

Reach Toothbrush (from either a Wags or CVS sale)

2 Various Deodorants (from either a Wags or CVS sale)

Green Food Storage Containers (Big Lots)

2 Sally Hanson Nail Polishes (remember that awesome wags sale?)

Benadryl Itch Relief Stick (Walmart using that $5 off 2 coupon which makes them both free plus overage)

Kodak DVD (bogo with bogo coupon CVS last week that caused so many issues)

Luzianne Tea Bags Large Box (bogo at Publix before)

Ideal sugar substitute (free coupon)

Box of Chocolate Covered Cherries

Frames (that were on clearance at Wags for $2.50 for 3 frames) with photos of my son that I had taken at Picture People Studios located at Walmart (which I will pick up tomorrow - can't wait!!!). I might pick her up something else while I am there if something catches my eye.






As you can see I don't really purchase the usual bday and Mother's Day presents. I used to buy her loads of perfume etc. but then I noticed that most of the items I bought her were still in their boxes/bags a year later (even if it was something she wanted). So now I buy her things that she uses all the time (shampoo, body wash, razors, deodorant, coffee, tea etc.) which may seem weird but at least I know she will use them and my money didn't go to waste.

* Edit (May 08)- I also bought her a really nice foam type kitchen mat with roosters on it at Walmart. It is really nice and thick. Might have to go back and buy one for myself.

Wags!!! CoverGirl B1G1 for 50% OFF use with BOGO Coupons!

FYI - CoverGirl Makeup is buy one get one 50% off which works very nicely with the CoverGirl bogo coupon that is out.

2 Revlon Slant Tweezers @ $2.99 each = $5.98

Total = $45.91 plus tax
