prairiewindmomma Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Soror, if it's close, you can have the root canal done, and have them put in a temp filling under 2020 insurance, and then have them do the crown under 2021 insurance. I had to do a two-year split this past winter because I had maxed out my dental benefits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Speaking of maxing out benefits, Youngest just maxed out her lifetime orthodontia benefit and had a palate expander put in. She definitely needs two phase braces because her permanent teeth are impacted, but we hadn't planned on having two in braces at once. If we had proceeded as planned this spring, we would've had three in braces....but we delayed starting older dd's treatment due to covid. Younger son should be finishing up braces in the next month or two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can do it come spring or summer if covid can get under control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week we are having a no spend week except for gas as we had an unexpected car repair bill happen in the same week as a plumbing problem that also caused a couple of meals of take out and we had just paid off our credit card. The good news was that dh was able to fix the problem himself, it just took him a few days as he has been down in his back and could only work on it after work, so yay for that! No spend week shouldn't be a problem for us since we are still stocked up on food because of corona. The weather has also been record breaking warm and dry here in our area, so we are still hanging out all our laundry. A friend gave us some blackberry sprouts that she didn't want and I had a $5 of $25 coupon for the dollar store that I used to buy the boys new underwear and refill a few things we used up from our medicine box. Oh! and I also caught Old Navy's $5 pajama pants sale so everyone will get a new pair for Christmas. I try to catch it every year, but missed it last year. I really appreciate this thread and look forward to reading it to see what creative things you ladies are doing, thanks! Yay, welcome. Glad you are joining us. You got lots of good deals.

We're having a few household issues that I'm hoping we can fix ourselves. The plumbing stuff (leaking sink, gurgling toilet, and running toilet) I'm almost positive we can. The furnace issue, not so confident about that but we do have one last idea of what we need to do for it before we call so there is still a little hope. Good luck with your no spend week. I was contemplating doing one this week but with finding deals on much anticipated gifts I had to spend Thanks!

One of our biggest youtube savings was when the springs? in our 1999 van went out. He did some digging around on some kind of Astro Van message board, watched a youtube video and installed some kind of brackets that fixed the problem and cost about $69!

historically accurate Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 My brother, who is broke, wanted an exercise machine. He had a $25 Walmart gift card that he was going to "sell" me so he could buy one off of Craigslist. DH went for a walk in the neighborhood today and found the same one on the sidewalk. So he got it for free. Yay even if it isn't my win. I broke down and we had Little Caesar's last night as I had a horrible headache. I'm still fighting it today. Ugh. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate this thread and look forward to reading it to see what creative things you ladies are doing, thanks! Welcome! We aren't officially no spend but pretty darn close to it, probably for the rest of the year it will be little more than the necessities with umpteen bills coming in. We're still giving the younger 3 kids a small allowance and dh has some spending money for work. I took no money last month but am going to take a little this month. No eating out, but that is pretty typical for us. Entertainment is streaming tv. I did buy frozen pizzas (from Aldi's) last week, which was a step up from only homemade pizzas the month before. I love the $5 off $25 at DG, I'm hoping to hit that next Saturday I have a list of personal care and cleaning products we need. 2 hours ago, mommyoffive said: Walmart is 75% off Halloween.

Soror Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I got my $5 Red Cross gift card, that will go towards books for the kids for Christmas.

Our health insurance went up, but not a huge increase, so I'm good with it. Everything else stayed the same. DH's employer also added Hospital Indemnity, and since we haven't had a year in the past 3 where DD hasn't been hospitalized, we went for it. It's $700 out of DH's check spread over the year, and they'll pay us $1000 if one of us is admitted to the hospital and then $100 per day in the hospital. I think it's a pretty fair bet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say they pay you, is it that they give you that cash and then the hospital bill is then covered like normal? Or is the money they are paying you instead of insurance?

Soror Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I ordered some Christmas presents for the girls, I shopped around and found one item $20 cheaper. So, I have the 'big items' for them done. I still need books for each and I want to do a small useful thing- I know I want to do a watch for dd3, a wallet for ds, and a clock for dd1 but I can't figure out dd2 yet. I'll also buy a family game, probably wait until they are on sale and maybe a puzzle for Christmas break, Menards had some puzzles but I didn't see any games I liked. Then there are stockings but that should be covered by my rebate from Menard's we spent so much on home improvement this summer! I also ordered some through Rakuten so I should get $40 back @mommyoffive How long does that take to go through? I'm hoping to get it in time to put it towards other kids Christmas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Finished grocery shopping for the week and stayed mostly on budget. I did go $9 over for sodas for dh, he drinks them at work and they are much cheaper to buy at the grocery store. Why he never does is beyond me. He always says he doesn't drink much or is going to drink water but continues buying them out of the vending machine. I won't buy sodas for the house unless it is a special occasion but it is stupid to pay more for them when he is drinking them anyway. I'm chipping away at Christmas and stocking stuffers. I really have a good chunk of things for the younger 2 my older 2 have to be figuring out what they want and they keep putting me off. I told dd1 I want a stocking list tonight and I got part of a stocking list out of ds yesterday. I've now redeemed 2 $5 gift cards from Crowdtap and am waiting on them, once they come in I can buy some books for Christmas. I already have $10 from the 2 for giving blood for dh and I. Ordered the $5- 96 count Ticonderago pencils this am, my stash is getting low and they are my favorite. I didn't buy any school supplies this year but just made do with what we had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woke up this morning to my 7 year old telling me we didn't own enough towels. Turns are bath downstairs showers have now flooded OVER and the basement is filled with sewer water. Time to call in a professional. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
