One of my greatest passions is living frugally. I'm addicted to looking for deals. My honest goal is to get everything for free. If that isn't possible I am going to find the absolute best deal I can. Getting things for free is like a natural high for me! I think it's like the high a compulsive gambler gets from winning. I think my way is better as I never lose!
I don't just get little things for free. This is just an example of the things I have received:
- at least a dozen magazine subscriptions
- designer bath sets
- children's books
- hundreds of dollars worth of free food
- hundreds of dollars worth of free home and personal items
- $25 gas cards
- $15 Starbucks cards
- $20 Target cards
- posters
- 50 Christmas photo cards
- coloring books
- pedometer
- photo books
- photo calendars
- 60 Valentine photo cards
- portable DVD player
- four packs of diapers
- cash for participating in surveys
That's the free stuff. That doesn't even touch all of the buy one, get one free or coupon deals. I can count on one hand the things I pay full price for, out of necessity. Otherwise I can't imagine walking into a store and buying something for its original price. I carry my huge coupon binder into the stores with pride! The people behind me in line are amazed when they see my original amount due go from $90 to $30 after my stack of coupons.
And now garage sales will be starting up in just a few months! My heart gets fluttery just thinking about it.
