Little Bits of $
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Well, the penny jar did go to Coinstar the other day - All that copper had to get back into circulation! I only use Coinstar for pennies, tho, because they do charge a percentage to convert change! I know some banks have free ones, but none around here, alas.
I also cashed in my dollar coins, which I had saved. It's amazing how much change can come in handy! It's still money, you know! And it's somehow easier to put it away in the piggy bank for a rainy day. And the weather has been a bit rough....
I also have written another article for www.associatedcontent.com on my freebie hunting. Check it out. That payment has gone to my Paypal Master Card for easy access.
Also piling up my points at MyPoints.com - only another 600 or so for another $10 card - probably another $10 Shell card for gas. (We have a Shell station around the corner.)
It's funny how reassuring I find this. Even if I find myself housebound by circumstances, I can still make some pin money, and it all adds up - and the IRS is none the wiser, either! I end up counting my blessings, my pin money and my freebies - it's so consoling!
But the small amounts do help one to get to payday sometimes, don't they?
Comments anyone?

We did the CoinStar thing last weekend. It helped pay for our weekend activities.
Every bit does count. It makes me happy even when I get a few AdSense clicks - that puts me that much closer to the $100 payout.
It is a natural - and FREE high.

Ha! I am paying for adsense in another venture! Not much, tho - My husband scoffs at change being money, so I save it myself & then can save the day when things get unexpectedly tight! I wish I knew how you do all that with your blog - I love it here, but...
