Nifty Thrifting: Food & Amazon

Hey guys!
Here's a few freebies I've been finding.  To get technical, they're really not free.


For instance, to reap the benefits of this one, you've gotta print it off! Don't hurt yourself.















Or, in order to get a free small cheese pizza from Hungry Howie's, you've got to go to this website and fill out some info.  If you're leary about giving out your email and some basic, not-very-personal information, this one may not be for you.  Actually, all of these except the deal at Panda ask for some info about you in return for "free" stuff.  I think it's worth it as none of them asked for my phone number and if they end up sending me too many junk emails, I can always unsubscribe.  You can pay with money or you can pay with giving them an email address. Obviously, it's your call.

This deal is expired as the superbowl coin toss has already happened.  I just wanted to tell you all that by signing up and guessing that the coin would land heads up, I won a free 1-topping pizza from Papa Johns. Score! (pun intended)

But my favorite (and least fattening) deal as of late has been getting a $5 amazon credit just for participating in a survey at research.fm.  I know the particular promotion that I participated in has ended, but the website says to keep your eyes open for more coming soon, jsyk.

Welp, hope you can gain some fun, "free" stuff from this edition of Nifty Thrifting!

Remember, there's a difference between being frugal and being cheap.  In my humble opinion, the difference lies in what you pay with instead of money.

We Meet Again

Well, to say that it feels weird to be here again is an understatement. This is a little emotional for me and I'll try to explain why. Firstly, it's been a while since the last time I wrote here. When I typed the address into the search bar, I was actually surprised that a 404 page didn't show up and that, instead, I saw a familiar title and design come up on the screen. There it was - my own writing, published on a web page I undoubtedly spent hours adjusting and tweaking until it was just right, down to the blue and green squares I painted  by hand, scanned into a computer and digitized the old fashioned way with....wait for it.....*Microsoft Paint*.  Illustrator? Pshht. Who needs that when you've got the grandmother of graphic design tools for FREE on your receptionist job work computer? (sarcasm, of course. Adobe, baby, I love you.) But even the details and designs of this page speak to the reason why this is emotional for me. All of the things about this blog that ...

Seasons: The Future

So about the future.  I obviously don't know it so it makes sense that this one might be a little shorter (or longer-it could logically go either way, I just went with shorter). There are litterally (at least) a hundred different ways it could go. After the internship I'm doing, I might stay on there. Or I might come back here. If I come back here I could work, go away to college, take classes from home, live with my parents, move out with some friends, get some kind of certification and work a more specific job, come back to the office job I have now, etc. Or I could move to CA and live with some family and find a job with some distant cousins. Or I could move to some other random state and adventure there. The list of possibilities goes on and on. What sounds best to me right now is to do one of the aforementioned options that have to do with moving back here but we really will see won't we.

Lipstick marks on coffee cup lids.

This is one of those posts where I'm riskilly honest.  The kind where I don't sound politically correct but I hope you'll hear me out.  Where I admit things I'm not proud of. Ready?  Okay.  I used to ABHOR lipstick marks on coffee mug lids (as can be seen in photo below).  There, I said it. Now the funny thing to me is that the cup with the lipstick marks on the lid that you see in the picture belongs to none other than yours truly.  So let me explain.   I used to be the girl who subconsciously thought she was better because she didn't need lipstick to feel pretty or 3 coats of mascara just to leave the house.  I was proud to only wear a little bit of makeup (or none at all) and still feel like I looked like my normal, averagely pretty self.  When other girls talked about needing to reapply lipgloss or eyeliner, (especially in front of guys) I made it a point to not be lumped into their shallow activity and went out of my w...
