coin count

We counted our coins in the change basket and am adding $265.00 to the challenge. Also $1.00 for no air. Came close to turning the air on last night, but I didn't. Total challenge money...$1648.00.
Someone is coming today to give an estimate on new carpeting. I wonder if he will do a cash discount? Doesn't hurt to ask, I guess.
I will also do some shopping today. Have all my coupons lined up! Everything at CVS should be free or close to it. Hotcouponworld.com is awesome. Check it out if you haven't already. There is a wealth of information there.
Didn't get to the staining yesterday as I would have liked. Don't think I will get to it today either. Frown Maybe tomorrow.
Did get some decluttering done tho. I can already tell a big difference.
Also have another cookie order for this weekend. I will post that money to the challenge when I get it.

if he says no, ask him if he accepts credit cards. if yes, ask him the fee he pays for each transaction (sometime a percentage) if he has to pay 1 or 2% ask if he will take at least this amount off the purchase. he gets the same amount and you save something!

Just a thoguth

I hear you on that temptation to turn on the air! I was uncomfortably hot last night (and having hot flashes, too, doesn't help any) -- but I am NOT going to turn on the air in March!

Debtfreeme: I did exactly that this afternoon and he said it was the same, cash or credit.

Carolina: I'm in the same boat with you and the hot flashes! That's what whas killin' me last night. I had a hysterectomy last summer and the hormones aren't quite right yet! I live in Texas, and with that and the flashes it's going to be a deadly summer.
