I found 2 pennies on the laundromat floor as I was walking through when picking DD up from work last night. Usually I don't go inside, just wait outside...but well worth it for the walk last night!!

I sent another $50 to the principal on the car loan today. So I've sent $120 this month instead of the usual $70.

+++

I received a refund check in the mail for $12.99 to add to the extra income account.

+++

Also, I found a penny in the break room at work.

Have a great weekend!!

I found more money today. At Wal-mart I found a nickel. In the locker room at work again I found a dime and 2 pennies.

++++

I got a free coupon I must have signed up for online for any Suave product. It is only dated until 02/28/09, so I want to be sure to use it.

++++

I got a GC code from a survey company for $5 for Amazon via an email.


I will add the found money and survey income to my extra income fund for the week.

Have a great evening!

I received a refund check in the mail for $2.50 today.

Also, when doing laundry tonight 2 quarters were in the washer from someone who didn't empty their pockets.

So $3 more to add to the extra income fund for the week!

Yesterday in the locker room at work I found 2 pennies on the floor. No one else bothered to pick them up over the course of the day, so I decided they were mine!

Tonight I went to Wal-mart to get a few items. To my surprise I found a penny in front of the checkout counter. It has been too long now that I've found any money. So I will add that to my extra income fund!

Today when I took DD to work, I found a penny in the parking lot. I will add that to my weekly deposit.

Not much else new here. I need to get some rest because I am working tomorrow.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I stopped in at Sheetz today while running a few errands. In the parking lot, I found a penny! More to the extra income fund!

Sadly, yesterday at Walmart I left a dime lying on the pedestrian walkway between the store and the parking lot. I didn't see it soon enough and there was so much traffic. I don't think it would have been appreciated for me to stop and pick it up!

I'm adding the amount of $103.93 in extra income to my account from the following sources:

$50.00 Continuing Ed Course reimburse
$ 6.16 Amazon book sale profit
$15.38 Rebate checks
$ 3.00 Pinecone survey
$ 1.01 Found money
$ 8.38 December interest on CC savings
$20.00 Discover Cashback


Now I have a grand total of $4067.97 from extra sources of income to apply to the Home Depot CC!

At work we have a laundry service that washes our scrubs and jackets. To my surprise, I found a one dollar bill in the pant pocket when I was putting them on. The scrubs are not personalized, so I had no way of knowing who it belonged to.

I'm just adding it to my CC debt!

Today after getting some fresh fruit at the grocery store, I found a penny on the ground in the vestibule area! I've got to put that towards my CC debt!

Today in the locker room I found a penny.

At lunch time I went to CVS because I was overcharged on an item I purchased yesterday. Near the checkout counter I spotted another penny on the floor. My co-worker was with me. I don't think she appreciated it too much, but I told her that I pick up coins all the time that I find lying around.

Speaking of co-workers...maybe if more of them were frugal, personal finance fanatics like myself, they wouldn't have the financial woes that they speak of so often!!

This past week I got a package from a seller on Ebay. Amidst all the packing material I found a penny!

Yesterday while at McDonalds I found another penny in the parking lot.

I haven't found any money recently, so I was quite surprised and thankful!!

This morning at work, I found another dime in a hallway between treatment rooms. I've come to realize that my co-workers are really careless about dropping coins in the locker room. I found a quarter in there that was lying on the counter. I didn't pick it up until my shift was nearly over, just to see if anyone claimed it throughout the course of the day. Since no one did, I decided it was mine!

It's crazy to me that these people don't worry about the change they drop. The majority of my co-workers really have problems managing their money from what I see and what they tell me. I'll save that for another post though!

++++

Tomorrow Ebay is having a 50% off special on listing fees for auction-style listings. I don't have anything more right now to list. I sold 2 items so far this week, and 4 items didn't sell. I'll post profits later this week.

++++

I received $1.00 deposited into my Paypal account for a survey from Greenfield online.

Have a great night!

Today in the locker room at work I found a dime. I was so happy! What's with all the coins on the ground lately?? Oh well...keep them coming because I'm not ashamed to pick them up. Whenever my DD is with me and I pick up change, she is so embarrassed!

++++

I received a survey check in the mail today from Global Test Market for $50.75. I had requested this in early November. I was beginning to wonder if I should follow up on it soon, but it states on the website that you should allow 4-6 weeks for delivery of it. Surely not as speedy as Pinecone checks used to be.

I would like the Paypal option for Global Test Market too, but I don't think that is available yet.

I am depositing $209.39 into my CC savings for the week:

$148.64....Saturday job
$ 56.19....Ebay sales profits
$ 0.10....Found money
$ 4.46....Coupons sold through refunding
site

Seems like I'm getting there, slowly but surely!

Today when DD and I were at the mall, I found a dime in the Hallmark store at the checkout counter. I will add that to CC savings.

It is snowing here now. We finally got back from the mall. The roads are getting slick. What should have only taken 15-20 minutes to get home in good weather took an hour tonight.

Have a great weekend!

Today I didn't spend any money. I stayed in at lunch today (which I usually do) and ate a Lean Cuisine meal, frozen blueberries and red raspberries, and a slice of cheese. Most of the rest of my co-workers went to Chili's for lunch, but I didn't feel like spending $10 for the meal. Besides it was rainy and damp and I just didn't feel like leaving the building.

++++

Since last week I sold 5 items on Ebay with a profit of $108.80 after deducting fees. I was pleased with that. At least I made a little $ and freed up some more space in the house.

I still have 12 items listed with bids on 5 of them. There are also multiple watchers on many items.

++++

I am depositing $381.80 into my CC savings account from the following extra sources of income:

$108.80.....Ebay Profits
$145.00.....Escrow overage check
$ .01.....Found $
$ 61.99.....Citibank Cash Rewards
$ 66.00.....Refund Checks

I have updated the sidebar with this information.

I received a payment (on 1 of the 2 items that I was still awaiting payment on) over the weekend. I messaged the other buyer that didn't pay to make them aware that I planned on relisting the item. She claimed that she needed to open another Paypal account (since she was locked out of her original account) and had to wait for a pin # after linking her bank account so it would be another several days before she could pay me??? Anyway, she told me to do whatever I had to do... So I relisted the item!

Another few items sold in over the weekend plus I listed some other things (mainly electronics). I will post the profits for the items that ended through November 30 either later today or tomorrow.

++++

Over the holiday I found a penny in a parking lot when we went shopping for some food.

The kids and I had a nice time visiting with my sister & BIL for Thanksgiving. We stayed there for a few days. It was refreshing to get away for a bit.

++++

I received a check in the mail from my mortgage escrow account due to an overage since I refinanced it a couple of months ago. It was for $145.

In addition, I received $56 in refund checks from Rite Aid, Land O Lakes Butter, and A & H Oxiclean Detergent.

All of these amounts will go to the CC savings deposit for the week. I will post a summary for that and update my sidebar later today.

Happy Cyber Monday!

I am adding the following extra income for the week to my CC savings account:

$212.40 .......Saturday job
5.50 .......Surveys
25.00 .......Mystery shops
.02 .......Found money
19.50 .......Ebay sales profit
_______
$262.42 .......Total Deposit


So with this deposit I'm over one-third of the way to tackling this debt!!

Have a nice Sunday!

Today, I received a check for $2.50 from Survey Savvy. Deposits in Paypal from Pinecone for $3 and $10 from doing a mystery shop. Finally, I found another penny at Walmart this evening. I will add all of this to my weekly CC deposit.

++++

Gas is down to $1.85 in this area. Since yesterday it dropped 0.12/gallon. I saw on the news that it is supposed to keep dropping to well below $2/gallon! Yeah!!

I didn't spend any money again today. So 2 NSDs in a row! Yeah!!

++++

Found a penny on the floor by DDs job when I went to pick her up. I will add that to my CC savings!!

++++

Three items have ended on Ebay so far and each one sold. I will have to post profits after the listing fees, etc. are deducted. Then I will also deposit that to the CC savings account!

I am adding the following extra income from this week to my CC Savings Account:

$ 3.00 Pinecone survey
.01 Found money
$366.74 Saturday job income


I will deposit $369.75 into the account. At least I'm about one-third of the way towards my goal of $6560. About $100 more, which I hope to accumulate in the next week or two, will have me well on my way!!

I stopped at Walmart this morning before work and found another penny at the counter by the cash register. Either I am keeping a better eye out for change, or people just don't bother to pick up change when they drop it! In any case, I don't mind picking it up!!

I'm depositing Rite Aid rebate checks in the amount of $143.64 + 0.25 found money for a total of $143.89 into the CC savings account.

Somehow I think I will be dipping heavily into my regular savings account to come up with the bulk of the amount needed to pay off this last CC.

I'm using all extra funds I receive from Saturday work, surveys, rebate checks, Ebay sales, etc., but it just doesn't seem to be adding up very quickly...guess I should have started funding the account a bit sooner!

Today I found a quarter walking through the laundromat to the restaurant where DD works. I was so happy! The most I have found recently were dimes.

I will add this to my CC savings!

With interest earned for October, my CC savings account stands at $1,379.83. I am adding the funds from the following to my savings account for this week:

Refund Check .......... $3.59

Walgreens Rebate Check. $19.46
Rite Aid Rebate Check.. $ 4.00
Mystery Shop Reimburse. $13.00

Total............$196.49

So I've added this to the sidebar to reflect the deposit.

Today I went to Rite Aid to shop for the FAR items and I found a dime on the floor by the checkout counter. I will add that to my CC savings.

The total was $59.37. I had $4 in manufacturers' coupons so including tax the grand total was $58.31. Since I will getting $59.37 in a rebate check back, I made a profit of $1.06!!

Last night I did a mystery shop at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I could purchase anything over $8. I spent $11.58 on a organizing container. I will get reimbursed $8 + $5 for the shop fee for a total of $13.

I'm adding the following the my CC #3 savings account for the week:

$295.96 Saturday job income

_______
$296.06 Total

Have a great weekend!

This morning as I was walking into the building where I work, I found a dime on the ground.

I will add $0.10 to the savings account for CC #3 for the week when I have the amount from my Saturday job to include for the week.
