Thanksgiving Already?

                                                         Hello, My Cheap Cheetah Family

Ok, so it's pretty close to Thanksgiving and I have started to look at these $25 dollar thanksgiving meal challenges on youtube. I just seen where Target stores are saying that for $20 dollars you can have a thanksgiving dinner for a family of 4. That's not too bad I say. Also, I think the food part of thanksgiving is overrated. I say spend time with family and have a simple meal like chicken or a pasta dish and just enjoy more family than food. I say this because a lot of families are not able to spend a lot of money on Thanksgiving let alone when it's not Thanksgiving. We should all be grateful that we have our health, family and a simple meal to share with each other on that day or any other day for that matter.

As far as money saving goes for the holiday let's enjoy the holidays and don't think about money to much. Because there's always 2025 to get ready to think of new ideas and ways to save, make and have fun with money. 

  From the Cheap Cheetah That's me have a great Thanksgiving be safe, happy and enjoy! 

Reality Check

                                                                      Hello My Family

 Happy Sunday. Just a quick money tip for you. If you ever need a reality check of what not to do with your money or what to do with it. I would suggest you watch how lotter changed my life on YouTube  and also billionaires who live cheap. I found myself watching programs on YouTube of over spenders and under spenders just to get my thought process back of where and who I want to be when it comes to money.

You know the lotter winners or people who have come into a large sum of money and who has not had any money saving educations go out and spend money on crazy stuff like 4 houses when you only need on 10 cars when you can only drive 1, expensive furniture, trips treating everybody they can think of. It's crazy. like this video.

 Also you have the flip side like this one which I can more relate to. Granted I am not a billionaire but the principles are still the same for whatever amount you have. So, which one would you be if you had the money??

Watch It!

                                                                    Hello My Family

Like some of you I love my Dollar tree stores. Especially the bigger ones with more inventory to offer. Anyway, I was in dollar tree yesterday and I saw that they had bags of Halloween candy. Me thinking that the bags of candy was $1.25. I thought what a bargain . So, I picked up a few bags. When the cashier rang up $5 dollars for the candy bags. I was surprised. I asked her I thought these were $1.25. Since they were in the dollar store. She told me no. They have a variety of items that are regular price. So why call yourself a dollar store when you have stuff in it higher then $1,25? So just beware that not all dollar tree store stuff cost $1.25

So, it's October what are you doing has far as finding extra ways to save money. I took back two big bags of plastic bottles yesterday and got almost $8 for the trouble. I am donating a lot of stuff to charity for the tax write off and so that I can de -clutter my life. I am looking for holiday vacation deals that offer me free rooms or deeply discounted ones with free food included. So that I can spend some time away on the cheap. That's what I am doing what are you doing to enjoy your life but still maintain your frugal/cheapskate ways?

Fear!!

                                                                         Hello Family 

Have you ever had that feeling of fear that you just can't shake. I have that feeling right now and it's that I won't have enough money to live on. I have saved all my life since I started working at 14 I saved my money. I have worked two jobs during the course of my work history for 5 years or more. One part-time and one full-time. My part-time jobs I saved the money and lived on my full-time job after I had them take out all the deductions for charity investments, saving. I came on with a low paycheck. Most of the time I had to ask my co- workers what we made because my checks were so little because of my deductions. Which I am glad I did.  Because now seeing my pension check from the city after 20 years of service and bulls**t isn't enough to live on even if it's in small town U.SA.

 My advice to you if you can save what you can and take advantage of all the government services and charities that offer the things you need like food services, medical services, transportation  services etc. If you need it don't be ashamed to use it. Your tax dollars have paid for it so why not see if there are services that would benefit your needs. I have looked into some, but I don't qualify but if I did, I would use them. Nothing like paying for services that you can't use, and we pay for them through our tax dollars. 

    Fear it's a motivator to make us all do better even a cheapskate like me!

Fall Is Here!!

                                                                           Hello Family

Happy fall. You know what that means spending money time. It's Halloween candies and costumes which means money, Thanksgiving big dinners and high food bills more money and the Christmas season meaning even more money spent with gift giving and party giving. Yes, this will be an expensive season for cheapskates/frugal people like us. That's where the saved coins, coupons and yard sales come int to play. Coupons and store opening offer discounts on the things that you need to purchase e for the holidays, coins saved is also for that reason and yard sales are for gift giving. You don't know how many yard sales I have been to this year that I have seen decorations cheap. I even purchased a few gifts myself to give away that were new and pretty cheap.

You just have to be creative and think outside the box. I know inflation and the high cost of everything is killing us. But think smaller and more thoughtfulness and less expensive.

                          Well that's a cheapcheetah two cents for today. 

                                     Happy Fall & Save that Money

How Much Is Fun?

                                                        Hello My Cheap Cheetah Family

How much does fun cost? Being a cheapskate, it cost me a lot this past week. I went to Atlantic City to gamble then visit family. We ended the trip in Cape May. The Hard Rock Hotel &Casino in Atlantic city for 3 nights cost me $70 bucks. The food and mics tips  cost me $150 for two people for the stay at the casino. Transporation getting there and going home cost me $120 that's bridge tolls and gas. Family dinners cost $100. Cape May buying sweets treats cost me about $20 bucks. So, all that adds up to money, but it was well spent because I did it with family and I had fun. Sometimes being a cheapskate/frugal person  is not worth it if it interferes with your family and fun life. What do you think? Oh, yea I made my money back gambling plus extra.

Happy Holiday

                                                                     Hello Family

It's the holiday weekends and back to school time. Being a cheapskate/frugal person did you think about where are you getting the money for the kids and school this year. Here's some ideas that might help you.

1 The coins that you've been saving might not be much but every bit helps when it comes o getting back to school supplies.

2. Take advantage of the sales and going out of  business that stores offer.

3. See what you can use from last year this year for your kids. When it comes to back to school stuff.

4 Yard sales and flea markets are your friends. I've seen tons of school supplies for dirt cheap at these events.

5. See if your community or church/organizations are giving back to school item to the community

6.  Swap with friends and family who have older children or the same age children going back to school has yours for clothing and school supplies.

7. If the child is old enough see if they can't get a part-time job to buy their own supplies they need for school.

8. Shop Thrift Stores: Thrift stores and consignment shops can have great finds, especially for things like backpacks and pencil cases.

9Ask About Student Discounts: Some retailers offer student discounts or special promotions for back-to-school shopping. It’s worth asking!

10 Use a Cash-Back Credit Card: If you use a credit card, choose one that offers cash-back rewards for purchases. This can give you a little extra savings. Has Your Last Resort
