The tea they sell is amazing, plus you can get organic and fair trade tea. I buy all my tea from them, and it's always on my wish list for birthdays and holidays.
Great tasting, and good for you. Not cheap, though...
My top priority is eliminating any & all debt in my life. I have a personal loan from last year & I'm on a payment plan with IRS for back taxes. Eliminating this debt is important to me because not only is it stressful to have but the interest rates on both are OUT OF THIS WORLD.
To accomplish being debt free by February 2014 (my personal goal) I only buy what I can afford to pay in cash. I also cut back on eating out & going to bar for the drinks. Nothing wrong with cooking my own dinner & having friends over my place instead. I still go out and enjoy myself just not every weekend. Plenty of fun free options available.
My financial priorities are to get in charge of my spending and be more assertive about discounts or funny prices when buying.
For example, chicken breasts were BOGO free at our usual grocery store. They had taken away the price on the chicken, so I assumed it was the usual price (6.99/bag). That was my first mistake. At the register, the price for 1 bag came up $12.99. I should have just told the cashier that I didn't want them, since I wasn't saving any money, but I was too embarrassed and didn't want to hold up the line. I went to the customer service and they said I couldn't return them and couldn't do anything for me, even when I showed them the receipt from the week before that had the chicken for cheaper. If I had been more assertive with the cashier, I could have not gotten the chicken at all.
Our top financial priority right now is increasing income. My husband was laid off, and I am starting a new business venture to try to pay our bills. Once we earn more than our monthly bills total, we will be working on paying off my student loans.
There is, of course, no way to answer this question, because we don't know the future. If you get seriously injured in the last months of the year, medical costs could bankrupt you. If pay up for a short-term insurance policy and then don't need medical care, the premiums will seem to have been wasted.
But you will be safe from one big risk. Without Obamacare, if you'd been diagnosed with a serious illness this year, you would have found it prohibitively expensive (or even impossible) to buy insurance next year. With Obamacare, you can be confident that you'll be able to buy a policy, and that your health status won't affect the premium.
I buy spices, toothbrushes, greeting cards, and party supplies from the Dollar Tree or 99cent store. I buy milk at the gas station or at CVS. It is always cheaper at those places for better tasting milk.
I just finished graduate school and I am unemployed without healthcare. I have been unemployed without insurance since May. I was just about to purchase health insurance, but now I want to know whether I should just wait until Jan. 2014 to start the Obamacare? I'm relatively healthy with no serious illnesses, but should get a checkup. What do you recommend? I have already been without insurance for so long, but I am worried they will deny me because I waited too long. I heard this is a problem if you don't get insurance right away.
And sorry forgot to mention that I don’t work for a large corporation, I work for a small family owned business where health insurance is not a benefit. It was up until 2 years ago before our provider decided they were not longer going to be in the health care insurance business.
I certainly understand why it would be appealing for someone in that situation; however, it is those exact people that this law is hampering. We are doing nothing more than driving small to medium companies to have to make a decision if they are going to cross that 50 employee limit, and for companies that are already considerably over that limit they are making the cuts by moving people to part time. So in the end this is going to drive more people that are underemployed further down the income chain either by moving them to part time or completely eliminating their position. While it might bode well for people that are unemployed having companies hiring more part time works in the long run it is not a sustainable solution. Go ahead and add into this for people in my situation, the increased cost of health insurance has to come out from somewhere in the budget and the first place that gets cut is in the entertainment. I know, woe is me, but we are not going to be the only ones that are cutting back. So later in the year when major tourists areas start to see a decline in visitors what are the first positions that typically get cut, part time. Or next Christmas when retailers and manufactures are seeing lower than normal sales same thing. So you can quickly see that while this might work for some to witch the law was meant to help in the long run it is going to nothing but worsen their position and drive them further into dependency.
I will say that I completely and 100% agree with the children with preexisting conditions and there are a few other aspects that I could stand behind. As for the way that it has been planned and executed………
If you have good, high-paying job with good health insurance as an employee benefit, then holding out for perfect health care reform has a certain appeal.
If you're self-employed, or underemployed, or unemployed, or just work in a field where big corporate jobs with good benefits aren't the norm, then even health care reform that provides only incremental improvement can be pretty appealing.
Saving money for home repairs.
+1 for Rishi!

So far so good!

Back in the day, most did. It was to keep a Wednesdays bake from getting stale by Sunday. A Thursdays bake kept fresher into Sunday.
Sounds like you are the racist.

Saving! I want to save for a car, trip to Italy and a pending move!
My top financial priority is to have a paid off mortgage in the next 10 years.
Save for retirement or future grad school!

I always check ebates to see if the store offers cash back, and how much.
