Penny’s Tips Volume 150

48 comments

 

Hi everyone! Happy New Year to you all.

Before I tell you some money saving tips, I must tell you all that my mom has lost her mind. She has brought another cat home named Penelope and she is downright scary. She was not happy with her breakfast yesterday so she chased mom right out of the room.

I am going to tell you some things my folks do every January when they decide to try to save some money.

First thing, they call around to the local trash removal companies and find the lowest price one to switch to. Sometimes they tell the price to their current trash place and they match it, but this year they didn’t so my folks are switching.

Then mom calls the cable company and says she wants to lower the bill and they come up with something lower than they are currently paying. They could just ditch cable and save a lot of money, but they won’t do that.

And one more tip- our friend, Purrseidon’s mom is an author and her books are on Smashwords. One of them is free right now, Latitudes and Cattitudes, click here. 

Smashwords has a lot of free books, just go to their main page and click free books. Click here.

  4. Penny, we humans do these things so we can have extra money to buy extra kitty toys, kitty food, and kitty treats. I would much rather spend the extra money on my kitty than the cable bill and the trash pickup, etc.

  5. Sweet Penelope, settle down in your new loving home! Good tips, Penny. We cut the cable years ago and use Roku. We pay only what we subscribe to and can cancel anytime. It’s a great feeling.

  7. I might have to try some of those ideas…especially if NC Ins is successful at their attempt to raise homeowner’s ins by 40%. JUST PLAIN CRAZY.

  8. Charlee: “Our Dada says it sounds like Penelope is pretty strong-willed just like her namesake, Odysseus’s wife.”
    Chaplin: “Who is Odysseus?”
    Charlee: “No idea. Another cat, I guess.”
    Oona: “Oona thinks Penelope sounds like a girl who knows what she wants. JUST LIKE OONA.”

    1. NO, but she dared to give her Friskies shreds instead of the chunks and that is unacceptable. XO

  10. A scary new cat. Tell mom we want pictures and more information. You’re so cute, Penny and you always have such great tips.

    Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.

  12. We wish we could shop around for trash service. We have to use what our city provides. If you have a Kindle, I just learned that about four times per year, Amazon has a “stuff your kindle” day, with lots of book freebies and deals. our mom got a few books at the end of the December for just one dollar.

    1. Thank you for the Kindle tip. I prefer real books, but I read some Kindle ones too when they are free. XO

  16. Hello sweet Penny! Hey, with a name like Penelope she can’t be bad, right Penny? Those were good tips, it’s not easy saving money these days.

  17. Penelope sounds like a pistol! I don’t have my trashed picked up. I bring it to the dump myself. SO, SO much cheaper. I used to get better deals on cable but not lately. One of these days I’m getting rid of it.

  21. You’re so adorable, as always. I wish you all the best. As for city services, we can’t shop around for garbage or water but my husband searches for the best deals everywhere else. 🙂 I’m blessed to have him. Be well!

  22. Great tips Penny and thanks for the free download-tip. We also change energy companies and health insurance companies almost every year for a cheaper price😸😺Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day to all of you🐾😽💞
