DVD's and banks

March 26th, 2007 at 06:25 pm

Well a couple of things for today! For one thing we're considering selling our DVD's to a company called Media Exchange. They seem to pay the most online and they pay for shipping if you ship them enough DVD's so it makes sense for us to do it. I added up just a group in my upstairs furniture and came up with $65 in sellable DVD's (and we have close to 100 more downstairs). It's not a lot for them but it's something (if we really needed to watch them again we could always rent!) Just a thought on how to make some more money.

Also, we officially opened our Commerce Bank checking account today and we're meeting with the Commerce Bank rep here at work tomorrow to go over everything about the account. I get to say goodbye to $6.95/mo x2 which starts April 1st from Wachovia and I still get to use MS Money to track my account (for free!) Goodbye Wachovia hello Commerce! Smile

No money spent this weekend so we still have the $94 for now. If we can make it to Weds when we refill the weekly cash we'll have $394 to use up until payday!

Oh I almost forgot that we paid the electric bill today with ebay money. Smile $150 is the lowest it's been in months (always a good thing).

    I get intrigued by the weekly cash concept. It's like you have a family allowance that you all try to stay within for each week. I like reading how it works out for the week.

    Thanks Jan! I think it makes it a lot easier to say "Look, here's what we have. We cannot go past this point." Even the kids are starting to notice when they're out how much we have per week as a family so it's really great to see they've taken some interest. Plus I don't forget to tally any purchases thanks to the blog. It's like its own place to record purchases. It's really helping us stay disciplined.
