Jumping up and down. We are average folk willing to attempt new ideas for us. <br /><br />Very unexpectedly recently, our dentist did not charge us $28,000 plus for services that had not been charged. We never asked, hinted, or expected. In fact, we had offered to pay our dentist a year or so ago for a friend's dental needs. Our dentist called our frend to make appointment for service without charge.<br /><br />A licensed air-conditioning and heater service provider does not charge for his service. He only charges for supplies. <br /><br />Our PCP, specialists' staffs, and pharmacy extend themselves to save us thousands of dollars yearly. <br /><br />This month, we saved over $250 using Dollar General med rather than script.<br /><br />When DH fully retired last year at age 74, free cell phone service was lost to us. Kiddos offered to share family plan with us, which saves us about $1600 per year. That is substantial.<br /><br />We who attempt to stretch our means find unexpected ways. Thanks, Belinda, for willingly sharing.thyme2Bthriftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814205711340836067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-76979430936593326692015-01-26T19:10:54.723-05:002015-01-26T19:10:54.723-05:00How wonderful that the amount doubled.

Otherwise, good idea to donate to food pantry. Recently, I discovered ways to financially help others in need for years to come. When I presented my idea, the amount to give doubled, which had not entered my thinking. <br /><br />Then, DH and I agreed last week that giving more for others' future needs will not affect our personal needs. <br /><br />We practice, "Give and it will be given to you."thyme2Bthriftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814205711340836067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-28259570933778815572015-01-26T06:02:19.855-05:002015-01-26T06:02:19.855-05:00I had no idea either, Mary Lou until about a month...I had no idea either, Mary Lou until about a month ago.

Last time one of the math teachers at school needed some, so I gave them to her. There used to be a lady who bought them for 5¢ each here too for her chicken's eggs. If hear of anything else that can be sold I will be sure to post it. <br /><br />Glad to hear you are earning Swagbucks. It helped me to purchase my daughter a tablet that first year I did it for Christmas. I'm so glad you are able to get your children something out of the deal. I just love that. Than you for sharing.

Would never think there is that great a demand for them that you could sell them.

I do save mine, and every few months make a swap with a neighbor for a dozen free eggs in exchange for all of my cartons. But I'll have to look into what all I could sell.<br />I'm currently working on my Swagbucks, to earn enough for some gift money with Amazon. I have you to thank for that, Belinda!! Several years ago, I asked you to explain how Swagbucks works, and you so nicely did!. Now I have enough for a nice birthday gift for one of my kids this spring! So, big thanks on always letting us know how to earn a little more money!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.com
