I have only dim memories of signing up for a drawing from http://www.rightathome.com/, the website for the SC Johnson company....but apparently I won!
Came home today to a box filled with cleaning supplies. Pledge Multi-surface wipes and Windex wipes and who-all knows what else? I may not have to buy cleaning supplies for months!
Then, I noticed that the vitamin B brand I buy has a code on it, with instructions to sign up at the website. Well, I gathered all the bottles by this brand I have...which at the moment is quite a few since I have "almost empty" bottle and brand new, unopened bottles, and I entered all those codes. I earned myself a $5 coupon! Whoooo!
Let's see. . . If I don't make a point to this post, you will simply think I am bragging.
Back when I was dead broke, a lot of the advice I read, the opinions of "debt experts" (I always wondered how someone became an expert at being broke. Most of us want to become experts at savings) talked about how, once you started saving and started "giving every dollar an assignment" money would "flow" to you. If every penny you could find was going straight to your e-fund, you would "find" $20 in last winter's coat pocket and save $10 off your grocery bill.
I never wanted to believe it. It sounded a bit too freaky for me. More like, if you're LOOKING for money, you can start finding it. Where you left it. In your coat pocket.
But somehow its true. When you've scrimped and saved the money for the new computer you've been drooling over for six months and you go to the store, cash in hand, you'll inevitably find it on sale.
It's nice to think that by starting this blog, my eyes are now open again to the money that wants to flow towards me.
