Surfing
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
Spend my extra time between work surfing the net and checking on the deals I get via emails. Did you know that you can get a debit card from Paypal?? I have a little $ there - & now I can use it places besides eBay -
I also have some $ at amazon from mturk.com deals - bought some books!
Got my card for $10 free Shell gas from mypoints.com - and a coupon from my local station for a free car wash & $3 off 10 gal or more!
Doing freebies like mad - get something almost daily. Indulged in $3 handcream from WeiEast - they have great samples. And using the big bottle of Gloves in A Bottle I got to try. I like it except I wish they would get a better dispenser - since you really have to use so little at a time! I do feel the difference in my hands - but I still have to use creamier hand lotion -that plus the WeiEast is great! Seems to withstand washing, too - Would be great if my hands were in water all the time! (I try to avoid THAT.)
Got lots of samples a while a go from my favorite local healthfood store (I do buy supplements there!) Now I have 2 ziplock BAGS of samples, which I rummage thru - eye cream, cleanser and all sorts of stuff. Even a little bottle of witch hazel. I do like the Kiss My Face stuff - may actually BUY some of that eventually! The shampoo samples are nice for wkends on the boat, too! And I put the sunscreen samples in my purse to apply on the go. (Remember to close the packets by folding over and securing with paperclips/hairchips/bobbypins - as there is more than one application in most packets!
Trying to get inspiration for my budget book - as I see myself somewhere between a Budget Fashionista and the truly austere frugal. (Would they spend $ on headbands, I ask you?) And then there are the 30-yr-old kids who plan somehow to become millionaires with the help of compound interest. Not me, either.
I just like to squeeze as much value as I can out of what I have - which I don't do too bad a job at! And I would like to clue in others that being broke doesn't = misery. Any thoughts out there? I would love some feedback.
