Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
After
having another wonderful night’s sleep we managed to sleep until nearly 8:30
this morning. While watching The Weather Network as we ate breakfast they
forecasted rain for our area so we made plans to get caught up on things around
the apartment. The first thing was to get caught up on reading E-mails and the
morning RV Blogs we follow.
Next
I made the necessary phone call to Bell informing them that we’d no longer be
using their Internet services which meant we no longer needed a house line as
well. Last evening the tech from the cable company installed their modem which
will cost us less than the bell system and we will no longer be paying for a
phone line we only use for the Internet. That will save us nearly a hundred
dollars a month alone.
Kathy
started doing her bookkeeping on the spreadsheet that she uses for keeping track
of our budget. Due to the power being shut off yesterday in the building so the
electrical could be upgraded she had a small pile of entries to make. In the
process of reviewing the receipts she noticed a couple of overcharges. We were
double charged for two different items and they were both from different Walmart
stores in the area. Kathy normally always double checks the receipts before we
leave the stores but since we’d been rushing around this week she hadn’t done
it.
Once
we’d finished lunch we were on the road visiting those two Walmart stores again. At each of
the service desks I had no problem getting our payments reimbursed to our debit
card. One associate said they’d had a lot of those double billings lately. Now
imagine lots of people don’t double check their bills and could be paying way
more than they should. One of our items was a gift and was not cheap. An
expensive mistake!
For
supper tonight we enjoyed a tasty Hawaiian pizza grilled on the Weber on low
and slow. Having taken it out of the freezer an hour before hand it only took
fifteen minutes on the grill. As of this writing we haven’t had any rain today.
Kathy

How
many politicians does it take to change a light bulb?
Four!
One to change it! The other three to deny it!
We always check our receipts before leaving the store as well. And we have since found out that if you find that you are charged more than what the item shelf price is at Walmart be sure to tell them that you get them item free as long as you tell them before they try to refund you the difference. This summer alone we have had two items free because of this but they won't tell you about getting the item for free, you have to mention it to them first.
