Exciting things in the mail
Posted by hobbysavingmoney on July 29, 2008
This week I got two super exciting things in the mail. One is my first Walgreens rebate gift card – I got $11 back on a gift card for an initial OOP of $9.98 with an original retail $19.96. Not too shabby.
Also, today I received my first PaperBackSwap book in the mail. So far I’ve mailed out four books, have another three to mail out tomorrow and have gotten one. It is a bit of an outlay in postage, but I figure it is still well worth it. I have accumulated quite a few books over the years and am working on organizing and only keeping the books I’ll re-read multiple times. I am a big reader, so this does leave quite a few still on the shelf. I started PBS by only posting books I wanted to get rid of that Powell’s wouldn’t buy back. (Although I do still have the bag of Powell’s books sitting in the living room – I need to actually send them in!)
PS – Yes, I fully realize that I use too many exclamation points and connector words such as “however” and “also.” What you don’t see are the times I write and then go through and edit out a bunch before I send/post.
