Not Kind To Cheapskates

                                                                      Hello Family

Happy July so how's the saving going. I wanted to tell you about a place that's not kind to cheapskates/frugal people and that's casinos. I visited one this weekend and where they use to give you free food, money to play , free drinks along with free rooms and parking all that is gone. That's the only reason a cheapskate like me went gambling because of all the free incentive and it was by the beach. So I could have a mini vacation almost free which I loved. Now on my last visit the room for 3 nights cost me $127 which was ok because I only paid the tax and services charges for the three nights. But get this I made a local call in the room which was suppose to be free but they charged me $10 for less then a 5 minute call.  When I asked the hotel why the $0 charge for  a local call they said the call was outside of the hotel which made it long distance, but it was the same area code. Go figure

The parking at these casinos are no longer free it's $10 or more to park. The food bills  and most of the restaurants will be over $30 dollars and the food they serve is horrible to say the least. The rooms have paper thin walls so you could hear everything in the hall and in other rooms. Let's not talk about the payback from the slot machines which was none. So yea it use to be a time where you could go to casinos have fun and spend very little money. That time has passed for a cheapskate like me. So, if you have had better luck at a casino let me know I would love to hear about it.

                                  Have a great Cheap Cheetah Day & Save that Money!

Also Since July is Monday ( Happy 4th Of July Family) I am doing a Save That Money Challenge for the month who's with me. You save money and put it aside for something you want. I am saving to purchase books on amazon . What can I say I like to read.
