I love weekends at Sam's Club. My brother added us to his account so it didn't cost

You can make a meal out of those things.

I got some coupons in the mail for FREE sandwiches at Hardees. I was pretty excited about that
because we can get fast food without it costing us anything :)
August 27, 2009
Today was slow. I am still on my quest for a job, which is always frustrating. I was suppose
to go to the doctors today, but skipped it. I do not have insurance and do not have the money.
I made $2 completing surveys.
August 26,2009
I got some free moisturizer in the mail today. It's pretty nice. I also found out that
Walmart has a FREE samples section on their website. Where have I been? It's funny
how you don't look for those deals until your dirt poor.
August 25,2009
I made $3 competing surveys today. The only problem is I have to wait until it
adds up to $100 before they pay me. I signed my boys up for free lunch and
they get breakfast too. I found a quarter on the ground so I am 25 cents ahead
of the game :)
August 24,2009
My kids start school tomorrow. I earned 500 points completing a survey and I had
chicken for dinner. My youngest son doe snot want me to take him to school :(
He wants to ride the bus.

more survey companies...we'll see.

Today is my birthday so my mom took all of us to IHOP for brunch. Free meal! Happy Birthday
to me :)

My youngest son needed shots to start school and in my state it doesn't cost anything...YEAH!
I registered for some more miveaways...I'll be happy if I win at least one. I earned
$3 doing surveys.
August 20, 2009
I earned $5 doing surveys today. Not much, but it's better than nothing. I had to register
my car and it cost my $100 ess than I thought it would so that was a bonus.
August 19, 2009
Today was depressing...Job hunting at it's finest. I just ate a bowl of cereal, which was my one and only meal of the day. One good thing that might come from being so poor...I might lose weight! I participated in some services and made $3 which was cool. I also signed up for some Giveaways so hopefully I'll win one.

Today I decided to wash my hair every other day, so that I can stretch my last bottle of Herbal Essences Shampoo out as long as possible. I'm also trying to shave as little as possible which is not easy during the summer, but I'm trying to make my blades last on my Venus. Since it is hot out and my air conditioner is broken, I have been taking cold showers. That'll save on the electric bill too. Trying to cut back and make things last as long as possible.

First great thing that happened was the March of Dimes sent me a letter asking for a donation and there was a dime in it. They also included address labels. So I'm already 10 cents ahead. I worked the concession stand at my sons football practice and there was a mistake made on an order of nachos...dinner was served :)
