I think I have blogged before about how I tried using the law of attraction to manifest more cigarettes into my life - right?

Well I think that this time it has actually worked for me (again)!

I was determined not to have to wait until the end of the month when I got my Adsense money to go buy cigarettes and I was just thinking of someway to get some money so that I could buy some more cigarettes!

Well I did some checking on a list for unclaimed money and I wasn't on that list! - Bummer! I thought that there just had to be a way to get some quick cash! There had to be a way that I could get some quick cash to my Paypal account so that I could spend the money on cigarettes!

I did a little searching around and I found a website that said they were willing to pay people via Paypalto review some music! Yippeeeee! I did just as the site said, reviewed some of the music and sent and email to them! About 24 hours later I received the money!

I went right out and bought me a pack of cigarettes!

So the law of attraction REALLY does work!

Well "woe" is me when I found out today that the price of the cigars have gone up to 99 cents! Thank goodness I had enough money to buy at least one this time! I'm grateful for at least that!

I'm still about 2 weeks away from my Adsense money and I'm still trying to remain positive and hopeful!

I was going pretty good there for about two weeks after I got my Adsense money I was able to buy my brand - Kools and I was so ecstatic!

I was angry that the price of the cigars had gone up but I really have to be thankful that I was at least able to afford that!

Oh if only there were some "free money" lying around!

I posted a few times before about how the law of attraction worked for me when I wanted to have more cigarettes. Now that I am out of them again I think that I am trying too hard to manifest more cigarettes for myself!

I did manage to eat breakfast but I think that being without cigarettes is giving me the case of the munchies because I must have had 10 pancakes this morning for breakfast!

I have these little mint candies that I have been sucking on since Friday. And I really must have gained about 5 pounds during this weekend and the weekend is not even over with yet!

My mood is so witchy with a capital B! I'm angry, pissed offed and frustrated!

I have about 2 cents in my bank account which is not enough to buy anything cigarette-related! I have about 15 cents in my Paypal account - again its not enough to buy even the most cheapest pack of cigarettes!

I haven't received any donations lately - hint, hint?

On the good and positive side my Adsense money should be coming sometime in the next few days - which unfortunately is not soon enough for me but should be something that I am very grateful for because I earned this Adsense money by working from home. And as far as I can tell I should consider myself very lucky because it seems that a lot of people that use Adsense don't even make a lot of money doing it.

I think I'm kind of mad at the government too because first when I started smoking cigarettes were much more cheaper and the economy wasn't as bad. Now that we smokers have become addicted to cigarettes the government now decides that smoking is not good for us and keeps trying to think of ways - most notably increasing the prices - to get us to stop smoking!

Well that's not going to happen to me! While it may be more expensive to smoke I am still going to continue to smoke even if I can't afford it - I will just have to wait until I can afford it - which will be when I get my next Adsense check which will be in the next few days.

Until then I am in AGONY!

I found this very interesting online article about people who are using the money that they have to pay their bills - they are using that money to buy cigarettes! One interesting example is someone who used part of their bill money to pay for cigarettes!

Am I shocked by this article? Actually no I'm not! What I'm shocked about is that there are at least other people out there who have at least thought about using the money that they have to pay their bills - that they would actually think about using that money to pay for cigarettes - because I have at least thought about it myself! I'm at least glad to see that there are others out there who have at least thought about it!

Those of us who have experience with not being able to pay our bills in full each month know that sometimes one can get away with not paying a bill for one or two months before the "notices" begin! If you are really considered being a low-incomed person then you may be able to get some financial help for your bills such as government grants or some other kind of financial program and the money that you have saved could then be used to pay for your cigarettes.

Even President Obama smokes and at least he's honest about it!

I'm always surprised by the poll on the side of this blog where people have voted that they think that their cigarette habit is more worse than my own - I'm always shocked by that but at least I know that I am not alone! Which is quite encouraging!

I'm sorry to say that that still hasn't deterred me from stopping!

Imagine my surprise when I heard on the news that the price of cigarettes would go up and go up a LOT! I was already shell-shocked from my last cigarette buying excursion when I found out that the price of cigarettes had gone up so much! My favorite "second-choice" cigarettes had jumped from $3 to $4 and some change! And of course my beloved Kool cigarettes now cost over $5! And the price increase won't be just limited to cigarettes but to cigars and other smoking-related products as well!

They interviewed some smokers on the news and the majority of them said that the price increase was enough to make them want to stop smoking. One man said that he tries to buy the cheapest brands of cigarettes that he can find!

Me? Sorry folks but I'm still going to be a smoker! I guess that this just means that I just have to make more money so that I can have cigarette money in my budget! According to the poll that I have on the side of this blog there have been a few people that have voted and said that they think that their cigarette habit is even more worse than mine and I'm wondering how they feel about the cigarette price increase? How do YOU feel about the cigarette price increase?

How do I feel about the cigarette price increase? Well being a smoker and smoking as much as I do, when I first heard the news about the big price increase my thought was oh well - have to have more money for cigarettes! Not once did I think about quitting! I mean when I am out of cigarettes the cravings are sometimes just too much to bear! I get moody and cranky and am just not a good person to be around!

It's probably due to the fact that the nicotine is so addictive and I don't like how I feel when I am out of cigarettes! So I'll continue to buy them as much as I can!

So it's more money that I have to make, increase my income - I don't think I'll get to the point where I'll cut something else out because my budget is already at its bare minimum! Smoking is one of the few pleasures that I allow myself to have!

Actually I wish I was smoking a cigarette and had enough of them to last me the entire month until I get my Adsense money!

I wish I was smoking one of my cigarettes right now! Where is

the law of attraction

when I really NEED it!

Oh well enough of my blabbering!

As you can tell I am quite out of cigarettes! My closest prospect for more money is my Adsense check but I don't expect that until next week - which is a blessing in and of itself because I can at least be grateful that I can expect it next week instead of some time way, way in the future! (Unless some sweet soul decides to donate a couple of dollars to me! -

Of course I am well aware that I have a lot of things to be grateful for! I was watching on the news about people who have been evicted from their homes and that was not a pleasant thing to watch!

I can still be grateful for the fact that I am able to earn some money from working from home! I was also able to get one of those government grants to help pay off some of my heating bill. I also had quite a nice dinner of chicken and rice tonight - a dinner that I can be very grateful for!

It's just that anyone who is a smoker knows smoking cigarettes helps relax you and gets rid of some (or in some cases - a lot of!) stress! I also know that while smoking is addictive you feel like "heck" if you are not able to feed that addiction.

I'm sorry but the lesson that I have learned here is not that I want to quit. Tbe lesson that I have learned is that even though I am out of cigarettes now, as soon as I get some cash I'm going to buy me some more cigarettes!

I'm anxiously counting the days until my next adsense check which should be coming next week! In the meantime I am going so crazy!!

I have $5 in my bank account and that would just enough to buy a pack of Kools or buy 3 packs of a cheaper brand. However that $5 is there because of a check I wrote to one of my creditors and they haven't seemed to cash it yet! Now am I thinking of spending that money and risk incurring HUGE banking fees?

The answer is yes. Yes I am thinking about it but no I haven't done anything about it yet! It's almost like that $5 is there to test me!

I did have a good experience with

the law of attraction

a few days ago before the weekend. I was thinking about how great it would be to have some cigarettes while I was working at my computer. I think I actually pictured in my mind me actually being at the computer and smoking a cigarette. Then it hit me that someone had told me that the Rite Aid store sold a brand of little cigars (hey beggers can't be choosers here!) for a dollar and I had a dollar and some change in my bank account that I could actually spend!. So I decided that the risk was worth taking and I went to the Rite to find if they did indeed have such a brand and they did! A different brand of little cigar (that I will post about later) helped saved the day for me! I walked out of that Rite Aid with my $1 little cigars and actually sat down and smoked one of them!

That pack of little cigars lasted me 2 days which I am grateful for but unfortunately I'm back out of cigarettes again and it is driving me crazy!



Update!

I have to say that while I waited for the last minute I did indeed spend that $5! I wanted to wait until I got to a close enough time that my adsense check would kick in to cover that $5 but I did spend it on cigarettes.

It turns out that the creditor didn't cash the check until well after my adsense money kicked in!

While I'm glad that I was able to do this I hope that I don't do it again because I don't want to risk those banking fees!

I wanted some cigarettes So badly! It's been about a week since I last had any cigarettes and I was desparately trying to think of a way to get some! I started to weigh my options:

• My adsense check won't be arriving for another week!
  
  
  
• I had less than $2 in my bank account!
  

Then I had an ephiphany! I knew that you could buy something from certain stores with your debit card and you could get cash back! Now the only thing was that I could only get cash back if I could get change as opposed to getting just a dollar amount - which would have put my bank balance in the negative! But I had remembered seeing someone else do this once so I decided to go and take the chance!

I went to a Rite Aid and had to buy something that cost less than 50 cents! I bought a small bag of potatoe chips that cost 35 cents. I asked the cashier if the kind of transaction I wanted was possible and she told me that I could get cash back but only in dollar amounts (no change). So I decided to think about what I was going to do next! In the meantime another customer wanted to do a different kind of transaction and it was similar to the kind of transaction that I wanted to make and she asked another cashier about it. Picking up on this I decided to ask that same cashier about the kind of transaction I wanted to do. She said it wasn't possible on the register that was open but she kindly offered to open a register where I could do the kind of transaction that I wanted to do!

Long story short I was able to buy a pack of cigarettes and still have a positive amount in my bank account!

I think that this is a very good example of the law of attraction at work! Now I have just got to learn how to harness this law to my benefit!

But at least for right now I have cigarettes!!!!!!

Labels: Experiences and Musings And Observations, I Have Cigarettes Again, Other Cigarette Brands-Hummers, Paying For Cigarettes

I had enough money to buy the cheaper pack of cigarettes called "Hummers". They cost $1.59 with tax - as opposed to my brand - Kools - which cost around $4.50 a pack!

Beggars can't be chosers when they don't have a lot of money!

My adsense payment won't be coming for a couple of weeks yet.

But you know what? I am grateful for at least having these cigarettes because I am a much nicer person when I have cigarettes!

Believe me you wouldn't want to meet me on a bad day!

This one pack of cigarettes will at least get me through the weekend!

I have about $10 in my bank account right now but that is because one of my checks hasn't been cashed yet and I am oh-so-tempted to spend that money on cigarettes. With that $10 I could buy 2 packs of Kools! (Of course then if the check was presented it would be labeled as "insufficient funds" .....

Ever tried playing "tag" with your bank account?

Labels: Cheaper Brands, I Have Cigarettes Again, My Supply, Other Cigarette Brands, Paying For Cigarettes

Yeah! I see that there is a payment in progress line on my adsense account! That means that I will be having my adsense money soon! And what am I going to do with my adsense money? I'm going to buy cigarettes of course!

Been without them for a couple of weeks and I want to smoke a cigarette so bad that I can taste it now!

Much thanks to The Adsense Consultant for "turning me on" to the whole adsense program!

I was out doing errands yesterday and I saw that my brand of cigarettes were on sale (again) at one of the gas stations across the street. (I live in Philadelphia). Although I already had some cigarettes I decided to buy some more because I'm not in that area all the time.

The sale price was for 2 packs of cigarettes for $6 and as you can see from the receipt I bought 2 of them which came to $12. Usually I pay around $4.50 - tax included - for a pack of Kool 100's. But this brand was called Kools X which I have never tried before but I got them anyway because of the price!

I have noticed that sometimes a store like a WaWa will have cigarettes on sale but I don't live near any of those.

So if you're looking for a good deal on cigarettes - Kools - then I suggest that you head on over there before the sale is over!

Labels: Cigarettes On Sale, Paying For Cigarettes

It feels REAL good to have cigarettes again! I was able to get a few more packs the other day because they were selling them "2 for 1". I got 2 packs for $6 - 2 packs would normally run me around $9! - so that was a very good bargain! I was just grateful that I had enough money to buy some more cigarettes! So I'm feeling really good today!

It's raining heavy, the wind is blowing cold and the weather is just basically terrible and I'm grateful to be able to be inside and not have to worry about not having any cigarettes!

Life is very good right now for me and I am grateful for it!

Labels: 2 for 1, I Have Cigarettes Again, Kools, My Supply, Paying For Cigarettes

I'm waiting for my adsense check to come in so that I can buy me some cigarettes! I also thought that it would be a good idea to do like The Adsense Consultant does and take my adsense earnings and order a pizza or something just for being able to say that I did a very good job with my adsense for the past month.

I'm not a millionaire yet but that is what I am focusing on!

And if you think that I am a millionaire please remember that I am not. That's why I continue to have the "donate" button on this blog.

You can rest assured that any and all amounts that you donate will go directly into my cigarette fund.

Even though I haven't gotten any donations yet I will still continue to keep the "donate" button on my blog. You never know who will decide to donate - perhaps a smoker who knows what its like to be without cigarettes, someone who loves smoking and loves to smoke like me........................

that's all I could afford. I did notice that the Newports are selling for around $4.73 - which is almost $5!

My pack of Kools cost just over $4 but the price keeps changing all the time! Once in a while there are sales like where you can get 2 for 1 or they are promoting some new type of variation of the brand. That's what happened a few weeks ago where Kools were on sale for like half the price but it wasn't the kind that I smoke so I didn't get them. I may try them out just to see if I like them but I'm pretty set on the kind of cigarette that I smoke now!

So I am grateful that I had enough money to buy my one pack of cigarettes today!

Here is a brand of cigarettes that I had never heard of before. The only reason that they caught my attention was because they were lower in price than my regular brand of Kool cigarettes. They were about $1.50 more cheaper so I bought them because (at the time) I didn't have enough money to buy my favorite brand of cigarettes.

As compared to my regular brand of Kools 100, this brand is more "raw" tasting but you still get that "nicotine kick" when you smoke them.

For the past few days I have been able to afford to buy my own favorite brand of cigarettes so I haven't had to buy these in a while.

Here are some interesting things that I found out while I was out trying to buy a pack of cigarettes (any pack of cigarettes - even the cheaper brands!)

• The local BP will only take credit or debit card orders of $10 or more! Seeing that I only had about $3 in my account this wasn't going to happen!
  

• I also found out that my local BP will not let you "split" a payment with half cash and half card!
  

• The nearest Rite Aid's cheapest cigarettes cost $3 (as compared to the $1.59 brand of cigarettes that I can get at the BP) but at least there I can "split" a purchase (which I couldn't do on this particular day because I didn't bring any of my change with me because I was so sure that I would be able to get a pack of cigarettes with my card! - and I was not about to walk back home and walk back to the store - I guess that means I found my cigarette "threshold"!)

So all in all this was not a good day!

(Please remember me in your donations -

Well I found out that there is even a cheaper brand of cigarettes than "Maverick". This brand is called "Hummer" and of course I have never heard of this type of cigarette before. But as I groveled with the sales clerk asking about what cheaper brands of cigarettes they had that's when they showed me this brand.

Well the price was so cheap I wondered what was wrong with it but I was desparate for cigarettes so I bought the pack - actually I bought 2 because they were so much cheaper. Well after I got out of the store I opened up the pack. Well 20 in the pack just like the regular brands - that was a good sign! This cigarette brand was a darker brown but it still smoked like a regular cigarette althogh it did seem to have a duskier taste and smell to it.

Hey beggars can't be choosers right!

But I will keep this brand in mind the next time I don't have enough money for my regular brand of cigarettes - which are Kools.

Labels: Cheaper Brands, Paying For Cigarettes

Yep! I was running out of cigarettes and I managed to get some change together to go buy a pack. I couldn't afford my beloved "Kools" cigarettes so I bought the cheapest brand I could. They are called Mavericks! They cost me around $3.30 which is about the amount of change that I had!

Can't say that I care too much for this brand but it was all that I could afford with the change that I had.

The cigarette company that makes Kools cigarettes is having another promotional sale. It's another get 2 for 1 sale although they do charge a little bit higher than the regular cost for 1 pack of cigarettes. So of course I took advantage of the sale and bought as many packs as I could. I did notice that the single packs of Kools were selling for $3.92 per pack and I don't know if that included the sales tax (although I doubt it!)

The promotion has to do with the different designs that Kools have had over the years and they are calling it the "limited edition artist packs". 10 different designs in all - although the main color is still green.

I was at my favorite cigarette store (my favorite because it has the cheapest cigarette prices) buying something other than cigarettes when a woman came and bought a pack of cigarettes. She paid for them with a whole lot of change! My thoughts drifted back to when I paid for my cigarettes with a whole lot of change simply because I didn't have anything else at the time. However her story was a little bit different than my "need cigarettes and I'll pay for it with all the coins that I can muster" story. She said that she kept all her loose change and when she felt like getting some cigarettes she used that change to buy them. This is a whole lot different from the reason why I used change to buy my cigarettes. Mine was more of a "desparate to have enough change to buy cigarettes" story.

So if you are a smoker and you think that its demeaning or embarrasing to pay for cigarettes with change you should know that there are people out there that pay for their cigarettes with change.
