you want proof? Here's proof:

ZERO

Overall was a savings of $63.05.

How i did it:

Bought 30 x $5 off coupons from Ebay, printed them all out as soon as I paid.

Went to 3 different Kohls, asked to do separate transactions at 2 stores, the third store let me use 2 coupons on one she was awesome. I went after 8pm and there was like no one in the store it was very nice!


Freaking AWESOME.

I finally got gloves that I needed since I only have one pair and they always get left in the opposite jacket that I chose to wear that day.

I believe I have about 20 coupons left to use by the 21st.  Which is totally do-able. After work, between jobs etc since Kohls is open till 11 most nights!

I have to go to sleep its almost midnight sheesh! Working both jobs tomorrow and weds, I do have to say, I was "jellin" today and my feet only hurt first thing this morning! So it seems the inserts are working!!

Have I mentioned my feet are killing me from all this standing?
Also hurting my lower back, oh the joys of how everything is connected!

So get this, last night after bingo (which we didnt win ugh) ATC was on his way home, and it was snowing out as it has been all weekend, and taking his exit to the conjoined highway a suburban in front of him went off the road and flipped into the side area... apparently the pregnant girl inside got ejected somehow, he didnt see her at first though, but since the 'burban was laying on the passenger side he climbed in through the drivers side, and saw there was a man in the middle row of seats, he had to kick OUT the windshield, and pull the guy out. That caused his hands to get all cut up, he then noticed the girl laying out on the side, and covered her up with his shirt and somethin else from his truck and took care of them until the police and ambulance came!

How freakin crazy is that! He called me all excited telling me what happened and every detail, then sent me pics of his bloody hands and shirt LOL Weirdo. So I told him that was his super hero moment for the year and he should be good on karma for a while!

I almost wish I'd a gone home with him so I could have been part of that all! Next time..

I made it to Macy's today avoiding lots of accidents, the freeways were pretty slushy and made for some crazy driving! I saw a hatchback get covered in slush that was being thrown up from a utility trailer being towed, that freaked that HB driver out I could tell.

It was pretty slow today so made for a lot of standing around. Around 4 I asked my managers assistant if it'd be ok for me to go home early (3 hours) because it was so slow, and there were 3 of us there, and I'd pretty much been trained on everything (and my feet were killing me). She agreed after a lil encouragement from me, I said hey! your labor costs will be a lil lower today think of it that way!

My mom sent me some $ to do a lil bit of shopping for work clothes, I got these two sweaters.. this one is just a cover up, but i really like that lacy detail on the back, Ill wear a cute colored shirt underneath it.

and this one is a comfy thick knit sweater

also found this cute ring on clearance in my dept came out to about $5

IMG00200

Gotta wear what you sell right?

Got some cute underwear too, but you dont wanna see that (=

Stopped by target and finally got some shoe inserts, god I hope these will help.

I got the massaging Gel "for her" on the left, and Massaging gel "work": "Ideal for hard working feet, tough enough for men who work on their feet." So hopefully they work out!

Also went to walmart and picked up a lanyard and some small sharpies, we're supposed to sign every receipt we issue, but regular pens dont work very well on these waxy receipts so I figure if i can just attach it to me, Ill be more likely to do it! Plus I can attach my name tag so I quit losing it inside my purse.


Its 7:30  now, feels like it could be 10. I'm pooped. I dont have a full day off until thanksgiving, will either be one job or both every day between now and the 24th.

I'm gonna go relax while I can!

I really should be kept away from websites that automatically store my debit card information and shipping address, because last night in my vicoden/pain induced haze, I managed to buy some cute shoes from 6pm.com as well as some makeup from Avon. Oopsies!

Oh yeah it was from the dentist yesterday. The pain is not from the cavity I got filled, its from the 6 Needles they had to use multiple times to get me numb, which took OVER AN HOUR. Just for the lower right side of my jaw. It's not them, its totally me, but that sucked. I could barely open my mouth today to talk, let alone eat...

I managed to make it to work today, however the pain was too much. I was woken up multiple times throughout the night kept switching between the heating pad and a cold pack on my face, and at some point spilled a bottle of water in the bed so I had to avoid sleeping in a wet spot.. and yes, I'm sure it was water.

So I did the 2 important things at work, scanned the checks, and got all 5 offices to do their "batching" by 9:45 am. Usually it takes them until 2 or 3 pm. I was like HOLY SHIT. I told them it NEEDED to be done ASAP because I wasnt staying all day and no one else there knows how to do it, and they actually listened, ill just have to tell them EVERY day that Im leaving early LoL.

I shoulda came home and slept, but instead I took a vicoden and ran some errands, went to King Soopers, PetCo (i really dont like their new set up and they dont have things i really want to buy) then Kohls, which was very annoying and reminds me I was going to write an email complaint... but I managed to buy some black loafers for work for only $8, then to another King Soopers, and PetSmart to get what I really needed.

Got caught up on DWTS, SO sad that Aaron went home he was so good! Got my nails done this evening, while i was there it started snowing. Supposed to snow all weekend I guess. I cant tell if it has stopped for right now though.

Picked up a pumpkin spice latte from 7-11 on the way home in hopes of giving me some energy to finish cleaning up the house tonight since I work at Macy's all weekend. Oh Joy! LoL, Will hopefully be hitting up Bingo at TGIFridays tomorrow night, *crossing my fingers* that I win SOMETHING, anything!

My day off was full of activities I had not planned!

I slept in till 9:30 - awesome

Went to lunch with Cameron at Panda Kitchen - awesome yummy

We dropped off my cable boxes and modem at comcast - finally

We walked around the mall for a bit - torture since I have no money till Thursday

Watched the 2nd Narnia on TV - still like a 3 hour movie lol

Then I came home, took out the garbage, walked the dog, cleaned the litter box, emptied the dishwasher, and started a load of laundry, and refilled the cats bowls. - all w/i an hour time frame. (How do I get more done in an hour than I do being at home all day doing nothing?)

Then we got to go see a FREE pre-screening of When In Rome. - AWESOME FREE! It was a cute movie, its not due out until January and you could tell that some parts of it didnt flow right together, i got a flier to go to a website to give my opinions on it, maybe tomorrow I'll do that.

So now I'm back home resting, gotta put the laundry in the dryer. Still have the season finale of Mad Men to watch, possibly tonight when i go to bed.

I was at Macy's until 8:45 last night for orientation. I go back Sat and Sun for some training and actual work. UGH i also have a dentist appt tomorrow night to take care of this cavity that is giving me a constant headache.

Oh and my 3 day detox/cleanse thing failed, because the headache would NOT go away I had to drink a soda, and then i said screw it and had some mini chocolate doughnuts for breakfast... ill try it again soon LoL

OH YEAH.
My boss told me yesterday that he was not going to be at  work Thurs and Friday, and that I had to BE SURE to be on MY best BEHAVIOR on the phones, because apparently I have been not so nice lately. Well I know that. We all know that. and If i recall, about 2 months ago I ASKED NICELY to NOT be on the phones anymore. I know its PART of my job, but its a part that I cannot handle anymore and I shouldnt have to because I have been in the back longer than ANYONE in the office.

I really think my only option would be to go to work drunk, that way, Im guaranteed to be nice......is it possible? probably not... sigh, I just dont know HOW to be FAKE NICE to people. It's not me. Take it or leave it. I am what I am.

So if you all have any suggestions on how I can change my ways and be polite and nice to totally incompetent fucking retards, please, let me know.

What fantastic savings looks like.. . take a peek

On The Cheapy

Had a buttload of coupons today, as well as awesome sales at Target.

I had 2! Coupons to use today at Kohls, $5 off, and 15% off.. I was ALMOST set on some grey booties, but i wasn't 100% I went and looked in the accessories dept, and found a cute hat! I'm not a big hat person because for some reason i have a big 'ol head, but i found a cute cute cute one! That was already on sale + my coupons it came out to be like $11 i think.. not too bad.

This is pretty much what it looks like:

Changeling-esque Hat

I'll be lucky if I like half as good as Angelina Jolie does in it!
But either way it's adorable.

Also I heard that an Aaron Brothers Framing store was going out of business so I headed over there everything was 50-75% off! I FINALLY found the PERFECT frame for my Kurt Halsey print "as big as the trees"

Treesorig

I need to get a Mat for it but otherwise it's awesome. I hung it up next to my bed since all my Kurt Halsey stuff is in there anyways.

With all the good grocery deals ive gotten lately, ive gotten 3 check out coupons for $10 off at fashion bug with a purchase of $25. so, i can use 3 diff coupons to buy some new black shirts and pants to wear to Macy's!

well, when i get paid next week that is.

but i'm already checking out the website (= 

I've always been a sucker for a good coupon, mostly for shopping or pet food.

But with my recent serious lack of money, and newly found websites, I've become a coupon queen.

So many websites have their own printable coupons, or ones you can load on to your frequent shopper card, like King Soopers, Safeway, and Target. Plus you can print in black and white and save on ink! There's so many manufacturers who will email, or snail mail you regular coupons, good ones too a few dollars off items. I know last week i had a coupon for a febreeze candle like $2 off, and another coupon for buy a febreeze candle, get a free spray, so i used both and got their new pumpkin somethin or other scent. 

I've started purchasing the Sunday paper at 7-11, best $1.50 i can spend, because it saves me SO MUCH it's ridiculous.

Plus a lady at work is giving me her left over coupons as well, and then i'm giving my left overs to another co-worker. It's all really working out for me.

Tonight my mom sent me $40 so i could get some cat litter and what not.
It was on sale for $5 something, and i had a $1 coupon
Got some kitty treats buy one get one free, plus they were on sale.
$3 off snuggle coupon, it came out to be $.99
$1 off GE CFL Bulbs, which were like, $1.99 to begin with
$2 off coupon for dog treats
$1 off new Yoplait smoothie mixes, came out to be $.59 each
$2 off healthy choice meals, were on clearance for $2.29
and i got some lettuce, cucumbers, and tortillas which obv dont have coupons for lol
Rockstars 2/$3 at the gas station

all in all, I spent $11.99 at albertsons (I saved $12 with coupons)
and another  $13 at king soopers, (saved 40% with coupons so says the receipt)
I had to go to Wal-Mart and buy a bigger coupon holder, it was probably the most expensive thing I bought tonight @ $5.88, but its worth it to stay completely organized and prepared.

So if i can keep up this coupon-ing and major budgeting I may be some how able to survive.
I have an interview tomorrow @ 11 for Macy's part time. We'll see how that goes. I'd prefer if it was a location down the street from me, but can't be too picky right now. Money's money.

I made some YUMMY French Onion burgers for dinner tonight, Heavenly! I'm surprised I'm up so late actually. Today though was way less stressful at work than yesterday. I came home and went to bed at 6:30 yesterday. I've discovered my body just shuts down when i get too stressed anymore, which I guess is fine with me. I've gotta go throw some laundry in the dryer and hope that the power doesnt go out for the 3rd or 4th time this week during the middle of the night/early morning. Luckily i use the alarm clock on my phone as well. 

Atc said he'd like to hang out again this week some time, so i left it up to him depending on his schedule, cuz well, mine never changes.

I'm finishing up watching Jimmy Fallon's Yacht Rock episode, effing HILARIOUS i Love him he cracks me up all the time.

My weekend has been filled with a lot of nothing....

Friday night, I fell asleep around 7pm... woke up for good around 930 saturday morning.
At least I got caught up on sleep!

I cant recall doing anything of substance Saturday...
However I managed to sell my old phone on craigslist for $80.
The Egyptian also came over for a few...

Rockstaaaaar!

Today I went back to target to try to use more of my gift card, mostly bought groceries, still have $18 left on it!

Went to the regular grocery store and bought some necessities, found my rockstars 2/$3!!!!! They werent on the regular shelf, they were in the cold case, and I bought all they had left, 6 of'em. GO ME. And also stocked up on pomegranate lemonade MmMMm

I heard the broncos won in the last few seconds, good for them. Next weekend, def. going to the bar to watch the games, i hate not having TV right now!

Threw some laundry in the washer... waiting for it to do its thang..
In the meantime, I might just take a nap. . . I *could* clean the litter box and bunnies but ehhhh.

I'm thinking I left my makeup bag @ work friday because i can't find it ANYWHERE around the house.. hopefully its there... good thing i didnt plan on going out this weekend..

Is it just me or has this day drug itself out. Seriously.
It was going good up until lunch time, and then slowed down.
Now it feels like its completely halted.

During lunch today I went to Target and bought some cute pink gym shorts for $7.99,
and then I saw cute cute socks, 5/$5 Couldn't pass those up!

After work I stopped by Ross to find some new tennis shoes, which I did. The ones i have kinda squish my toesies and make it uncomfortable to work out in. Proud to say I went to the gym twice this week, one of them I went swimming, and realized I have no lung capacity anymore whatsoever. So I'll be working on that. I plan on going tonight as well. Dunno about swimming though, Ive had this horrible cramp in my upper arm all day I must have slept on it weird because its very painful to lift it at all.

I was also looking at the comforters and sheets at Ross, but I couldn't decide, and put back the purple satin sheets I'd found thinking that the cats would probably just tear them up anyways...

I've got a huge new INstyle to read, I think I'll take it with me to the gym, may give me motivation to stay on some cardio machine longer.... I lose focus so quickly lol.

I received a call back from the HOA today, after I left a message about noise complaints and people sitting out front blaring their music while they wait for someone. He gave me a number for the "security" guy, "Chuck". No idea who he is. But said to call him or the police in the evenings if I'm highly annoyed (=

I need to send my NetFlix movies back, I've been majorly slacking this week on that.
Friday is Payday.
Saturday is Root Canal Day
and possibly get nails done day.

Super duper exciting right? I'm also gonna see about getting at least 2 new tires. I think I can afford 2.
Tyler also said he'd do my front brakes for me, cuz he's awesome like that.

That is all.
