Becoming Thrifty

Many know that my sister Fran is quite the money saver. From coupons to giveaways and contests- she's hooked. Anyone who is on facebook chat when she is entered in one of these contests know what I am talking about, as I frantically ask you to go and "like" a site and vote for her! It's a little ridiculous, but fun for her to WIN.

I got my first kick of the adrenaline that comes with competing in a Halloween picture contest when I submitted my photo of Amber (college roommate) and me being Juno and Bleaker to CrazyDog tshirt facebook site. After I WON (and got a $25 gift card to their store) I realized what my sister was talking about! It was like getting $$ tossed at me! And I loved it.


I am a lover of ebay, quibids, and craigslists (much of this because of Fran). I find myself going through my closet and other possession wondering how much it would sell on ebay. I was talking to Ben the other day and was telling him how I was considering selling jacket I have that I watched sell for $75 on ebay. He reminded me that I love the jacket, and wear it all the time. "But," I said, "I would get so much money!" Just the idea of "winning" that much money gets me excited. It's like winning the lottery! Not to mention that I love the jacket and wore it today in the 20 degree Nashville weather...

At this rate, I will be a 22 year old female with few material possession and clothes, but lots of mooolah in my paypal account!
