Plotting and Planning

 

 

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!! HELLO, CHERYL!!!

I haven't gone to any after Christmas sales, in earnest, in probably 4 or 5 years and that's because the sales are straight trash.  The stores employees have hidden the best stuff and what's left isn't something that I want to spend my money on like holiday candies & cookies, Christmas decorations, wrapping paper, gift bags, bows and greeting cards, etc.  This year, when I was digging through the Christmas tubs, I found beautiful individual Papyrus Christmas Cards that I found at CVS for like a dollar and some change each at their after Christmas sale. This year, I sent out the Papyrus Greeting Cards to family and friends. How do I know about the fancy and high quality greeting cards?  Papyrus used to have stationary stores and I want to say that there used to be a store in downtown Sacramento on K Street Mall, close to the capitol.

If you are going to the after Christmas sales always be on the look out for the Christmas Ziploc bags, parchment paper, cupcake liners, paper cups, plates, napkins and paper towels.  The Ziploc Christmas storage food containers and grab whatever size that you can find because they last a long time!

On the first week of December, I ordered a hair dryer on eBay. It's been a long time since I've ran into a scammer on eBay but long story short, the person never shipped my item but kept my money from PayPal.  The thing I love about eBay is that the seller must provide proof of shipment and for whatever reason she never shipped. Of course, I demanded my money back and she cried that she didn't have any money, her car broke down and made up a bunch of excuses that had nothing to do with me and refunding me my money.

eBay gave her three days to return my money and she never returned it but eBay did return my money.  I'm sure that she's band from buying or selling on eBay.  eBay's Money Back Guarantee worked for me!

For some reason Social Nature is giving $6.99 for the Paw Patrol Fruit Pops instead of the $5.97 that I was expecting.  Did this happen to you, too?

There will not be any coupon inserts in the Sunday newspapers so that you can spend time with your friends and family, this holiday season! It’s Saturday …enjoy your day! On Sundays, I take the day off from blogging.
