Small Steps to De-Hoarding & Making $$$

Ok, so maybe $$$ is a little too much, as I didn't really rake in the money with this one...but I highly suggest this for anyone with old CDs lying around the house.

BuyBackMedia.com will buy your old CDs, DVDs and Games for cash money! The catch is that you have to have the cases for all of them and they have to be in pristine condition...they charge you to ship CDs they don't want or are not in good quality back to you, or they will just simply throw them away if you request that as well.

Not knowing if this was real or a scam, I chose to send about 13 or so CDs to them (free shipping when sending at least 12 at a time). I also opted to have them throw away any bad condition CDs. I sent them off and then not more than 2 weeks later a check for $25!! Not a lot of money but super awesome for a pile of CDs just collecting dust in my room.

Scam the Man

While home for the holidays, I went out shopping with my mom (the original cheap ass bitch, love you!) and went into Bare Escentuals. I love this make-up! As my mom is buying some stuff, the lady at the store starts sampling new blush colors for me, I fell in love with the color Tulip (scary color in person, but very light and fresh on the face...I sound like the sales lady...). But as its the holiday season (meaning very low on my priority list of what to spend money on), I opt out of buying the blush...but she gives me a free sample...however sample is not the word, more like a 2 month supply of the stuff! Hello sales lady, I'll see you in 2 months for another free sample!



Also for those not as cheap as me, but still cheap can go to BareEsentuals.com and enter code FRIENDS to get 20% off from Dec 3rd-6th

Happy Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving cheap ass bitches! I hope you bought a turkey with a coupon and two for one pie crusts, the cheap ass way. I bought all my ingredients for my side dish at Costco, of course I now am making potato gratin for an army, but thats beside the point.

We had a giant family bowling game last night. I lost. But I didn't come in last...The Mission Madre beat us all at 8 months pregnant! Now I know I will never beat that girl at bowling, I think the belly works as a counter weight to send the ball rolling faster down the lanes...thanks physics!

Freddie Mercury Who?

So far from cheap ass, but one of the most perfect combinations of things I love....next time I'm going to eat chocolate ice cream while watching this...

Use on Everything!

Shampoo, conditioner, face wash, body soap...I feel like my trips and expenses at Duane Reade are endless...but I have figured out the new alternative to expensive shower products...

At a recent visit to the hospital, my friend was given a bar of soap with a wrapper exclaiming, "Use for Everything", now that is cheap ass!

More details of the shrapnel

I painted and put tinfoil on cardboard and then hooked it to black fabric I used as Penny's belt...black fabric was cut from my free and horrible work t-shirt.

Sadly only a few people recognized us that night, but all in all I was so happy with our group costumes and we definately did it the cheap ass bitch way!
