Tips That Make a Difference

Last year I shared a whole bunch of aspects that pretty much discredits this entire blog here, but unfortunately I’m back to say the list continues to grow ;) No matter how hard you try, or how solid you are at managing that money, you’re just bound to build some mistakes each now and then! And this weekend I’m afraid I committed two.

The second being more embarrassing than the first (especially for being a personal finance blogger! *shakes head*) MISTAKE #1: I went to a restaurant SINCE I had a 25% off voucher, and then I forgot to apply it! Which was the whole reason we even WENT to that Ruby Tuesdays to begin with!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Worth noting: arghhh… I had that damn piece of paper in my pockets the entire time and it would have saved us (my boy and I) $10 whole dollars when all was said and done. I didn’t notice it until I emptied my pockets ahead of bed and saw that stupid aspect taunting me, haha… ten whole dollars right down the drain.

MISTAKE #2: I paid for an entire plate of food I didn’t eat :( The night ahead of I did mistake #1 up there. And in fact, not only did I NOT eat it, I spit it out since it was the raunchiest aspect I have ever seen ahead of!

Is Budgets Sexy Worth It?

More importantly, how stupid is that? And the worst is that I *knew* I should have spoken up more when it was happening in front of me, but I was too tired/cranky/enter another excuse here ____ to actually do something regarding it.

So I sucked it up like a wuss and just paid the bill. And then I tipped her.

Where the Real Savings Hide

Remember that like a bigger idiot. (WTF is wrong with me? haha…) I’ll spare you the details of the food, but let’s just say at no point EVER go and eat a chicken caesar salad at iHop. Just typing this out builds me vomit a little in my mouth.

And to be honest with you, I feel like the waitress should take a part of the blame here too. No I didn’t tell her to strike the meal from the bill, BUT at least I did say it was making my stomach hurt, and that I wanted a new meal instead.

A Closer Look at Budgets Sexy

As a rule, which she promptly gave me, and which I scarfed down as if it was my last one on Earth (strawberry & banana pancakes, the top!!). Any solid waitress should have picked up on the clues and taken it off the tab, yes?

If your shopper just sat there and told you he couldn’t eat it? I think my biggest mistake was saying I’d pay for it if I had too cuz I just can’t put that junk in my mouth.

What to Know About Budgets Sexy

In short, i don’t know how I can grab so hardcore regarding saving, and then just throw it away all willy nilly like that, but either method I hope it builds you feel better regarding yourselves right now, haha… just goes to reveal we all build mistakes! , , , , - PS: Have you ever just “taken it” like that ahead of, and not spoke up? Or do you have the common sense to consistently ask for what’s right?

PPS: We were on a road trip all weekend, in case you’re wondering why the heck I eat out all the time, haha… believe me, I got tired of it real quick ;) (Photo by dave_stone) (Visited 2 times, 1 visits right now) Grab blog posts automatically emailed to you!
