About Me

A hardworking Mom of 3. I work hard for my money and don't want it to be wasted on bad services or products and if my opinions and experiences can help someone else make better choices why not? I hope I can be helpful...

How I Can Help

I like to know what I'm buying and having 3 kids with a budget I want to know where my money is going and I know that if I had a little more information about a service or a product that I'm interested in buying that ONE opinion can sway my decision.

Interests

read, crochet, spend time with my kiddos, voice my opinion in a helpful way

My family and I use Redbox monthly. Since movie stores are obsolete this is a convenient way to watch new movies when they come out on disc. The majority of the time Redbox has the movies before they're on Cable Satellite or Netflix. The ONLY complaint that I have, and it really is out if their control, is 3/10 times the movies we REALLY want to see are out of stock. I just got to get there quicker;-)

I've used for years and I have always been happy. The ringtones are always fresh. The notifications sounds are fun. The wallpapers are gorgeous and graphic. It doesn't take up a lot of space and everything is downloaded in a blink of an eye. Its user friendly. You can find ANY sound you want. From a babies giggle a kittens meow to a rumble of thunder or motorcycle exhaust to click click boom. Type it into the search bar and viola! Zedge sends you notifications of any new tones wallapapers or games. At Halloween time it sent me a notification of the most popular tones being downloaded. How cool?! You will not be sorry! I gave it 4 stars not 5 for one reason. Some of the tones are "home-made" and can be obnoxious.

  • DirecTV

Sooo we've (myself and my honey) have been a DirecTv customer since January 2015. The price of the promotion of the package we ordered it was $39.99 /month it included free installation for up to 6rooms all premium movie channels for 3 months and an inclusive sports package. And I'm not an idiot I knew there would taxes and blah blah blah BUT when I confirmed the order and paid for the 1st month the woman told me with taxes and fees included my monthy bill would be $68.47/month. SWEET! I got my first bill and we owed $72.63. OK alright its only a few dollars let it slide. Every month along with our bill we will also get a newsletter and every month there's a memo that always says check your bill for new charges. And every month there is in fact a new charge. So NOW my monthly bill is between $83-89 depending on what fee/charge they feel like tacking on for that month. That's a $20-25 difference from what was "agreed" on. It doesn't sound like a lot but its a nuisance. And for what? Our package has 250 channels and we only watch 45-50. We had to get the package we did bc the channels we "had to have" (their words) were (of course) in the more expensive package. The HD is charged AND we get charged for the Local channels... charging for local?! We would bow out gracefully and switch to Dish but we're in a 2 year agreement and will be charged $40 a month for canceling. I'm not looking forward to what my bill will jump to in January when we start out 2nd year...

  • Amazon

I've shopped through Amazon more than a dozen times. I love Amazon. If you buy something and you're not satisfied with the products or services there's always a space where you can voice your opinions. Amazon sends you shipping/delivery tracking, and after you receive your package they send an email asking you to rate the product/services. They post good and bad reviews so no matter what you are being heard. They personalize your shopping experience based on your recent searches. A user friendly site that you can get used/new ANYTHING. If you haven't used Amazon than you're missing out.

  • Old Navy

Went to OldNavy when they were having 50% if all OldNavy jeans. Now the jeans being $20-30 originally that saves me a boat load... on jeans. Not only was the store a mess ( understanding the meaning of SALE

I signed up for PINCHme and was not able to claim samples that day. 3 or 4 days later I get another email notifying me to claim samples. So I did. Claimed samples 10/1 Samples Shipped 10/26. Still haven't received them. I have until 12/27 to post my opinions. The next Free Sample Tuesday comes around and lo and behold no samples available. This time I didn't get to claim any samples 3-4 days later. And now all of a sudden you can sign up for PINCHme Plus and have the option to pay $3.99 to "unlock free samples the day before Free Sample Tuesday". If you ask me that takes the meaning of FREE completely out of the equation. Let's see if I get samples after I receive my Sample Boxes and post my opinion...
