Laziness cost Me $$$


                                                                        Hello Family 

Being lazy cost you money. I am the perfect example of what I speak. I was to tired to cook yesterday so I got a King Kullen roasted chicken. Mind you I waited 45 minutes for the fresh ones to come out. When I looked at my bill this roasted chicken cost me $8.99 they use to be $5.99 last time I purchased one it was $6.99. I could not get over the fact that because my lazy self did not want to cook I paid $10 for a chicken when I could have easily purchased a cheap uncooked  chicken, some sides for that price. If I was lucky.

Me telling you all this is because being lazy cost us money. If you don't want to do something, you pay to get it done right. Wrong! If you can do it yourself then save the money and do it. I hate mowing my lawn, but it saves me $20 bucks every time I do it because that's what a gardener would cost me to do it. 

Anything that you can do to save you money do it. Especially with inflation at a all time high of 8%. In these trying time we have to make every and I mean every penny count and not be lazy.

June 1th

Hello Family

Happy June 1th. It's almost summer time and the living is expensive. It's that nasty man called inflation. He has  made living expensive. It's hard to beat him even if you make good money. This nasty man called inflation is really putting  our frugal/cheapskate skills to the test. Heck I even had to take a refresher course  to sharpen my cheapskate skills because inflation is hitting me  like everybody else hard.
So what's a cheapskate to do. Here's some suggestions.

1. Go over all your banks, credit card, hospital statements to make sure your being charged correctly.  I find a lot of companies will either overcharge you or charge you for somebody else's services.

2 As far a food Walmart is even getting expensive and they were the go to guys for cheap eats. Look for mangers special's on everything especially meats. try finding alternative ways to get your food .Buying into shared  bulk purchasing  with friends and neighbors. Look for things that you can eat cheap beans, oatmeal, pancakes, bagels. Who says you have to eat breakfast food for breakfast. I eat breakfast food for dinner twice a week. If you need to see if in your area they are offering food boxes and if you really need it use the food pantries in your area.

3. Shelter now that's the only place besides food I try and get my bills paid on time. Homeless is not an option if you can get your rent reduced go for it. If you own a home, look for ways to reduce the cost. I look at  programs they offer here in New York to reduce my property taxes, I look into programs that are being offered to reduce my energy cost, water bills. Anything I can get a reduction on I go for it. I might not qualify for it but I still try. To me every penny I save counts and keeps me from being homeless.

4. Transporation with gas $10 a gallon it's cheaper to take public transportation, walking, biking. They say that it can get expensive to uber everywhere but if it cheaper then you driving then uber it is.

I know these are just some basic tips to beat inflation and they are some of the things that I do . What are you doing to try to beat that nasty inflation man to death. 
Share your ideas right here with me.
