State refund is already deposited and Federal should be tomorrow. Most of it is going to debts, but it's sacriligous if some of it isn't blown on something we Want. ;) <br /><br />I'm going to Wally World to get me one of those newfangled scanner/printer/copiers. They have the HP 1315V marked down to about $78 (from $99). HP is offering a $30 rebate (forms available from their website). Jeez, it ends up being about the price of a printer. Wutta Deal! So how are you going to blow yours?<br /><br />Addendum: I got it. Sweet unit! Can print paper or photos, doesn't need to be connected to a computer to photocopy or print pics right off the camera. $78 and change at Wally World and a $30 rebate off the net. WOW!

Bills, Bills and some other bills.<br /><br />HUGE grocery shopping trip. Sams offers Case price discounts on meat :) Break it up and put in the freezer for a year supply. We've found this is just as cheap as going in with someone to get a whole animal butchered...<br /><br />open savings plan up for the kids. (age 5 and 3moths)<br /><br />Tuck a little away into savings.<br /><br /><br />as for the "splurges".... We'll get to eat good meat more often with dinner, sounds like a great splurge to me!<br /><br />....oh, maybe a couple pieces of sheet metal for the ole '71 restoration project :)

Re: What are you doing with your Refund?

I was counting on a fat balance in my federal savings account, but to my surprise, I am in the red about $700. I don't know how or why be cause I had a nice bonus that they took 40% of. I had a batch of restricted stock that matured, in which they took 40%, and I excersized some stock options, again which they took 40%. Last year was the first year I can claim a full year of interest on my cabin. I usually get a couple grand back. I just don't understand it.<br /><br />The only thing that is different is that I made more money.
