Silly Kroger, You're Still Not Getting It

I won't lie, I love when Kroger sends me coupons in the mail to try and retain my business... sometimes it works, like when there is a FREE Doritos or FREE Gatorade coupon - who could really pass these up?

Yesterday was pretty awesome when I went to peruse the mail, I thought they were classing it up sending me coupons in a windowed envelope.

I was wrong.

It was this lovely letter from Kroger Personal Finance. WHAT?! I did not know that I could count on Kroger SO much as to be my personal finance platform... You have to be kidding, right?

I really like the "Pay No Interest: Enjoy 1.99% introductory APR..." That's not "No Interest", is it now? After the introductory period you will pay 21.99% interest on groceries and gas, items that should be in the cash budget already? Oh, but you get bonus rewards for purchasing Kroger brand products and a $25 Kroger coupon after your first card usage. Can you imagine purchasing you PoP-Tarts and Milk on your Kroger card and letting it sit around until you ended up paying $20 for them... No, don't imgaine it!

I thought you knew me, Kroger? I thought we were tight. We're just acquaintances, as it appears.

B and I have one credit card each, they have been open since we were in high school and are only used in emergency occasions like a car blow up costing $2,000 [Which was quickly paid off from the good 'ol savings account... who carries $2,000 cash?!] We both work hard for our money, we budget and we tell our money where to go - we are both in communication about our financial goals and we are [somewhat] responsible spenders, you gotta live a little!

So, no, Kroger, I will not be jumping on your incredible deal by 8/31/2011, and no, I will not start shopping more at your store either. Has anybody else realized how inexpensive Randall's has become since the whole realignment of Kroger? Is it just me?

Gmail Lies - Rain?

I just took this snapshot of my G-mail account...



What a bunch of hooey.

This is what it looks like right now in the Land of H:

+1,000,000 degrees F.

It rained while we were on vacation, a glorious 2 inches, and then again about 3 months ago.

You tease Gmail, it's not too nice.

H.O.T

I think my bra straps got sizzled into my skin, the picture above will explain everything.

Needless to say, I drank the rest of the sweet tea.

Ugh, Couponing Hurts Me

So, it's no secret [from my other blog] that I coupon. But, I dang near killed myself today trying to wrap up my research for weekend purchases and then this happened:

Frick on a stick!

Sometimes, I just severely dislike wanting/having to save money, but it is a necessity.

I'm no extreme couponer [those Peeps are CRAZY, and I can say that because my fav couponer has not been on the show]. I agree with all of them in only 1 area - people need to reduce their spending and coupons are pretty much your only safe bet - as long as you are ethical and have a heart [Subliminal meaning: don't be a FRAUD and DONATE instead of hoard].

Exactly Why I Love Working From Home

You're Welcome.

You Tick Me Off

Mr. President.

Our country was founded on Christian beliefs and I'm pretty annoyed with your suggestion to Israel for pre1967 borders. You are so retarded.

Mr. Amazing and I were reading in Matthew last night - the part where Jesus tells his followers that the world will turn and Christians will be killed and persecuted beyond all recognition; those who stay true to their beliefs will have their glorious kingdom in Heaven - and it totally went with this topic. Are we walking into our own persecution with our heads down?

What the hell are you doing Obama? I'm pretty fed up with your "leadership".

Dear Republic of Texas, Please Succeed.

Food Coma, Check

I put myself into a food coma last night after having chips, salsa, taco, cheese tostada, two cheese enchiladas, and some rice and beans.

Whew, it had been two weeks since I had seen the light of my favorite Mexican restaurant, I suppose I was concerned it would be another two weeks until I was there again? It better not be! Luckily my sweet peach is taking part of a new sports team that practices on Wednesday nights over the summer, so we will still get our fix during the month of June and half of August.

Either way, I passed flat out when we returned home and therefore feel like complete crapola today!

PS. It makes me laugh on the inside when spell check thinks crapola = crayola. I like crayon's, but not that much.
