PRODUCT JUNKIES~~WHAT ARE YOU BUYING WITH YOUR STIMULUS CHECK???

[HoneyDew]

Stimulus Check??

Are you in the US. It is a tax rebate thing. you can get a rebate if you filed taxes and more if you claimed any kids. It is supposed to increase spending to boost the economy. You can get up to $600 plus $300 for each kid. You can get the max if you make less than 70K a year and only a part of it if you make more than that.

Erm...what is a stimulus check? Is it like a tax return?

 

[LaManda]

I'm a PJ and I'm in REHAB...so I'm going to try and save it. (Try is the operative word LOL).

I do want to buy some of the Qhemet Olive and Honey Balm...mmm that stuff if heavenly on my hair. I think that I'm over the curlformer bandwagon but I do want to get some stuff from Aveda and Redken.



(singing ala Amy Winehouse) They try to make me go to rehab but I said no, no, no....

The Amy Winehouse bit is tooo funny!!! I feel the same way.
However, I think I will stimulate the economy just a little by purchasing a hair steamer.

 

[LaManda]

a steamer is the only thing that I want that is hair related. The rest will be saved for if my babies need something

Your babies are adorable!!!! Look at those little precious cheeks!!

Hair steamer....yeah baby!!!!!! I'm with ya!!!

It is something in the US. Different than a tax return.

They are trying to get folks to spend money. LOL Most people are going to pay bills with that money.

 

[SparklingFlame]

I am recovering so if I get a check I will be buying a fence.

I'm holding on to mine.

Has anyone else heard that this is your money you're getting back, and the rebate checks are basically an advance on your 2009 refund?

To produce this cash, Congress created a one-time tax credit to reduce taxable income for most taxpayers this year. If it turns out that you're entitled to a bigger tax credit than the checks you receive, you'll be able to claim that when you file your return next year.

This is why I said I won't be spending any of it.
Honestly, I don't think anyone here cares about such minor details

 

[Angelicus]

I'm spending it on Sallie Mae, actually. But my recent expensive purchase was Toque Emergencia Treatment.

I think this is incorrect information floating around. From the research I've done you will not have to pay it back if your rebate calculated on your 2008 taxes ends up being less than the amount you will get now. Someone could get more if the rebate calculates out on the 2008 taxes based on 2008 income, but no one has to pay it back.

Can you guys show me where you have seen information different than that?

 

[schipperchow1]

I must admit that I hadn't thought about using it for hair stuff, but other fiscally responsible activities.... but since you have brought it up, I would like some Curly Qs milkshake, to try QB Burdock Root Cream, and buy another pair of hairsticks

[nakialovesshoes]

You're not helping my problem. But anyway, I plan on stocking up on more glycerin, aloe vera gel, castile soap, cassia, and mucho mucho unrefined coconut oil. I also need a case of plastic bag caps. Why did you get me started???????

I've been wondering about buying these in bulk. I use sooo many. Where can I find a case?

I'm a PJ and I'm in REHAB...so I'm going to try and save it. (Try is the operative word LOL).

I do want to buy some of the Qhemet Olive and Honey Balm...mmm that stuff if heavenly on my hair. I think that I'm over the curlformer bandwagon but I do want to get some stuff from Aveda and Redken.



(singing ala Amy Winehouse) They try to make me go to rehab but I said no, no, no....

Yeah, these are on my wishlist, too!

I would like to try the ojon rare havest tawaka cleanser and conditioner. The cream was great so I have high expectations for the cleanser and conditioner.

I also want to get the 16 oz bottle of Ojon revitalizing mist from qvc, Im ordering one this friday but I know i will need more by then.

...and it would be nice just to restock my WEN and jessicurl products!!!

But thats all...

Yeah, Ojon is on my wishlist too!

Yeah, I knew about this. However, my refund is always higher than what my stimulus check is so...this won't be a problem for me - just means that my next year refund will be smaller. However, I do appreciate the fact that you put it out there. I think the masses still don't know about this.

Bumping....first round of checks went out today.

I heard that they started sending them out early. A friend of a friend claimed to have gotten hers already.

Okay so basically I have a big wishlist. No, I won't be buying everything on it. I definitely want some the OCT products minus the shampoo. I want to try some Qhemet moisturizer. I've been wanting some Ojon. I would love to have a steamer. I want a lacefront - have yall seen NCLady's thread w/the link to her Fotki pics of her lacefront? I also need a hooded dryer. But I can't go crazy & get it all - hubby won't let me. But I will be checking 1 or 2 of these items off of my wishlist.
