Free Coffee

Mo and I are on a mission to get out of debt and live debt free. We are looking at every way possible to cut costs. While on the phone with my brother, he gave me a website that encourages frugal lifestyles. It has some interesting ideas, a lot of common sense too. It is becoming a sort of game, how can I cut costs and still live with my simple pleasures. Yesterday, I went to Einstein Bagel and got a free coffee. We are out of creamer at home, so I desperately needed a cup but was not about to pay $4.65 at Starbucks; then I remembered this free coffee coupon that came in the mail. YAY, don’t ya just love getting things for free! My brother also informed me about Redbox promo codes. You can go to their website and sign up for the promo codes to be sent to your email or your cell phone. Yay, free movies!!

Saw this post on the website wisebread today and had to share:

Beware of Pretty Things: 4 Reasons I’m Keeping My Ugly, Old Stuff

So what are your thoughts on old, ugly furniture? Do you love it? Hate it? Live with it because you have to?

The next time you start to get a little impatient with your current décor, remember that function trumps fashion. Some furniture can bring an aesthetic beauty to your home that may well be worth the investment. If it doesn’t meet your needs, however, it was worthless from the moment you bought it and did you really need that nice new piece anyway?
