Frugal Happenings Volume 4
This week I...
*Received two books using credits at Paperback Swap. My to-be-read pile has spiraled out of control again!!
*Downloaded a couple of free books to my Kindle (see the above's out of control note!).
*Received my Walgreens rebate from January with a 10% bonus for choosing a WG gift card.
*Downloaded a free audio book.
*Read a good book that my Auntie loaned me.
*Did a bunch of "spa procedures" at home such as dying my hair and giving myself a pedicure. I save thousands each year by doing this stuff myself.
*Packed lunch on 4/4 days.
*Completed my taxes using Turbo Tax. It was slightly more complicated this year due to having W-2s, 1099s, and varying deductions, but it was still very do-able using that software. No need to hire a CPA...yet. I definitely saved some cash by doing it myself. Also, I don't have to pay in as much as I expected which was a huge surprise/ blessing/ happiness. :)
*Went to Walgreens to pick up some contact solution and bought two bottles since they were on sale. Used the aforementioned gift card and paid nothing out of pocket.
*Exercised at home using my brand new recumbent bike. This was a gift from my mom and I love it!
