DVDs for Cheap at Amazon

Do you know what the top rated diet pill is? Me either. But I do know that if you’re looking to expand your DVD collection, Amazon is the place to be right now.

I got an email from them a couple of days ago advertising a “Big DVD Sale”. I was interested, so I clicked the link to see what they had to offer. Turns out they’ve got hundreds of DVDs as low as $6.49. They’ve got tons of movies and full seasons of popular TV shows, and even some Blu-Rays for cheap. If you love movies, be sure to check it out!

Saving for Christmas

I’ve been getting a lot of Christmas catalogs in the mail and from the family Avon lady. So I’ve had Christmas on the brain. I have a really bad feeling that I’m going to have no money again this year, and it’s killing me. So I’m trying to come up with a way to save up enough money to get everyone something for Christmas.

In a way I miss getting paid by the week, or every two weeks. It makes saving money much easier, because you can save so much out of each paycheck and know how much you’re going to have after a certain amount of time. Not getting paid regularly kind of puts a damper on that. But I’m determined to figure out something.

If I could save up $200, I think I could stretch it far enough to buy gifts for the whole family. It wouldn’t be big elaborate gifts or anything, just “It’s the thought that counts” kind of stuff for everybody but Pumpkin. But it would be better than nothing.
