Have you never heard the expression, Penny Wise and Dollar Foolish?



Since I have moved up north, here, I have been looking at changing phone services. Nothing against, my friend in Fort Lauderdale. I have been part of his family plan for many years. Really how can I go wrong with $15.00 a month for everything. 
But like I said I just wanted to be a big boy and get my own service. 
Okay shopping here and there. Now I went to Walmart and bought the $29.99 phone, Thinking how bad can it be? Well if you know me at all , I love taking pictures pretty much everyday. So looking at the pictures this phone was taking. Not to good. Okay I went on line and bought a up grade. Now $79.99.  


The camera and phone worked good. But now the services. I first got it and cost $19.99 thinking triple the service. Well after a week and half. I needed more minutes on my texting. Okay another $19.99. Now I have spent $38.98 for not even a month service. I am down to 33 texts and no more data. I do have 223 minutes left for calls. 
Okay now what do I do? I talked with my neighbors and they both have Metro PC. I went online to see what they offer. 


Hey it is a Samsung phone. How can I go wrong? I drive over to the Metro dealer around the corner. I walk in and talk with a young lady there. I asked about the service. $30.00 period . Okay that sounds pretty good!!. Now what about the my phone. She told me I could use my old phone OR they will GIVE ME ONE!!!! Okay which one is FREE? The one in the picture above, I was willing to buy it. IT"S FREE. 



Now the case and protector skin was $60.00 for both. I was thinking of spending that much on the phone itself. WOW WEEEEE. 
Now I have a better phone and unlimited texting calling and 1gig of data too. I believe I will be very happy with this choice. 
So sometimes I am penny wise and dollar foolish.
