Save the Money in Your Handbag

With eBay Shopping

I will be the first to admit I became an eBay junkie in October of 2007, when I bought the Russian collection from OPI for $31, a collection of vintage Liz Claiborne bags for $28.53 and a brand new pair of Timberland boots for my son for $7. Yep, I was a goner after that, looking up any and everything just to see if someone on eBay was selling it. I became a pro at it too, waiting until the last few seconds to pounce and bid on the item I had so painstakingly searched out and documented to the last second when the bidding would end. Yes, I was an eBay junkie. I've been to "rehab" and have simmered down, only looking and bidding on the things that I need and want that are practical of course. (I really didn't need that handcrafted jewelry box with the hearts etched all over it, but hey I thought it was cute).

I digress, eBay shopping can be extremely inexpensive and saves you a lot of money when you're looking for something particular. You can find just about anything on eBay, from antiques to the latest and greatest autographed jerseys.

And yes you can get all this on eBay!

So try saving some of the money in your handbag and take a stroll onto eBay and see what you find. Don't worry if you get addicted, you can come to my eBay-aholics anonymous meetings :)

Series: Save the Money in Your Handbag

We all hate the word BUDGET, but if your are not Donald Trump or Oprah, then you need to have that word in your everyday vocabulary. I shared with you in a previous post, how I fail at budgets because of my retail therapy moments. But since I have been using my handy dandy Walmart Visa debit card, I have been doing okay.

I found a great article on MSN, Money that I thought gave some good information and tips on the reason budgets fail and how to fix a broken budget:

• Understand your motivation
• Know your numbers
• Get Real
• Find a system that works for you
• Stay flexible

These were the 5 steps suggested to fix and maintain your broken budget. Read more of this great article here:

Save the Money in Your Handbag

Let’s face it, we all know the economy is still recovering but that still has not stopped us from spending on the things that we love. We must learn though to spend WISELY on the things we love. Budgeting, cutting down our latte levels, eating at home are all good ideas, but it takes discipline to do so. Prime example, I set a budget for myself every January, but come March, that budget is blown, lol. I love handbags, what can I say, retail therapy helps me be happy.

Fortunately, I have found a way to maintain my living expenses budget and have a “retail therapy” budget as well, by using my handy dandy Wal-Mart Visa Money Card. It’s a reloadable Visa debit card that can be used anywhere Visa is accepted. Every month after I tally up my living expenses for the month, I include in a “payment” to my Wal-Mart Visa card. I use the money on that card for my online shopping excursions, my need to buy a new handbag and any other not on the budget item.

Sounds crazy right? But it’s not, because I’ve already placed the Wal-Mart card in my overall budget AND using this card, I can’t “mistakenly” go over. The key is I have to stay within my limit of the monthly amount I place on the card. Again, this is where discipline comes in! So far I’m doing well, I started in May and I started July with money left over from June!

So what do you do to save the money that’s in your handbag?
