brokebitch scenerio #6 How does a brokebitch shop without money?

If you answered credit card, you were just buzzered out. That's a brokebitch pitfall, you will fall in that pit and never see the light of day. The correct answer ding ding ding is.... shopping in your own closet. You'd be amazed on how you can reinvent clothes you already own! In some cases maybe you could purchase a new tank, necklace, earrings or hat to add some newness to the ensemble. However, no need to charge it! Cuz just in case you didn't know they expect you to pay them back, that's not a thank you note you receive in the mail. :)


your brokebitch,

brokebitch scenerio #4 pinching pennies...

You know how they say finding a penny on the floor is good luck if heads up? I say it's good luck if you find a penny! Pick that sucker up, it could be your savior for rent this month! A penny saved is a penny earned baby...use these lovely sayings. Why do I pick dirty change off the ground, cause I'm a brokebitch...

brokebitch scenerio #3 Receipts save you...

Receipt to the rescue....so a day after purchasing Fiber one pancake mix that I had to have or otherwise unless on sale I wouldn't of purchased, I find a coupon! So I'll take the receipt back and get my $.60 with much pride. $.60 could buy me ....well...well...okay it's 2009 where even candy bars are $.80 or more,hmmm....it could buy me ...a triumphant moment, a moment where I beat the system of over charging the average American. That moment is priceless. That $.60 is invaluable...oh but it'll be gone before I can truly savor the moment. ;) cause I'm a brokebitch.

Brokebitch scenerio #2, To FIND money or not to find money is the question...

Did you know that you can return unopened groceries and get cash back with your receipt? I know now.

This happened after going to my friend Kate's birthday bash. Had a lovely sushi dinner ...then came the BILL. $24...okay I'll use the magic card: Discover. Waiter: "We don't take Discover, sorry". Me: "You don't take Discover(thinking, oh crap, $21 in checking, yikes...) "well, well, "(in a customer is always right tone) "you don't ACCEPT me then..." Apperently that doesn't fly. I used my check card knowing my bill pay wouldn't go through til Monday so I had time to pad my account. All coat pockets empty. okay....grocery receipt. hmmm...I haven't opened the cheese or tortillas. Okay...grocery store here I come. To save face, I said I already had those items and bought it by mistake. :) this brokebitch. doesn't like bouncing, well maybe on the dancefloor but not at the bank(time and place for everything ;).

Home internet(the start of this brokebitch affair)

So I was at a birthday dinner to which I wasn't eating dinner because I ate at home to afford a half price martini. I know what I value.;-) So, we're discussing the internet. When I preceed to tell them my story cuz I realize I'm a brokebitch...

ya want it to be quick not costly...does it make you feel good to pay $40 for internet? You can't buy love however, you can BUT don't need to buy speed on the internet. 19.95 and mine is as quick as a wireless network. Thanks At&t. :) REMEMBER recession=competition. Supply and Demand. Supply is there. But NO demand. Cuz we're all broke bitches....;)
