In reply to Christine @ ThePursuitofGreen. Oh wow, your husband's a pimp! And even more so for not keeping it for himself - that can be hard to do :) Happy Easter my friend!

In reply to Kalen @ MoneyMiniBlog. I soooooo want one of those zombie apocalypse survival shelves! You guys are definitely way ahead of us in that department. We usually only have 1 week's worth of food in the house, if that. Though now we're pretty good on diapers :) (not that that's food, but you get the point)

In reply to FI Fighter. Love hearing that! Well, the 401k part - not the tax man ;) Although that usually means you're doing pretty damn well in the income department Mr! So I tip my hat to you.

Your wife did well at Target! that was an awesome deal to take advantage of. It’s always good to be on the lookout for ways to save money in bulk and to make money off things that are on sale!

This isn’t to my credit…technically my husband’s…but he wouldn’t have been able to score this if I hadn’t dragged him there. Thrift store where he spied an Oakley watch originally retailed for $1300…selling for $70! Snatched it up, put it on Ebay, and made $200 after taxes and fees. Potentially could’ve gotten more but for something unexpected pretty darn good!

So first off, your wife sounds like my wife.

We actually have, what I call, our “zombie apocalypse survival shelf”. Basically a stockpile of stuff that she paid little or nothing for…have you seen Extreme Couponers? Yeah, that’s her…and I’m thankful for that!

As far as spending money to make money, like you mentioned, that applies heavily to my blog. I wouldn’t buy things for a few bucks, because I didn’t want to spend the money. Now, after I research something for my blog, I am always glad I bought the things that I have bought. Sometimes it’s worth it to pay for premium versions and spend a few bucks on tools!

haha, I think I got the hint! I just re-enrolled into my company’s 401k plan last week after stopping it for a year… tax man hit me hard this year… ;)
