How Cheap Am I?

I am notoriously cheap.  Sing it loud and sing it proud!  Here's my latest spectacular cheapfest:

1.  For our fall schedule, the following extracurricular activities for my kids are absolutely FREE:  Tap, Creative Child class, Acrylic Painting, Dance, Choir, AWANA, Boyscouts.  Nashville rocks!

2.  Golf lessons: I pay $20 for 8 weeks and they give you the clubs.  Say, whut?

3.  The Grocery Game (check it out online): I subscribe for about $7.50/month for the Kroger list and the Walgreens list and I save over 50% off the shelf price.  I know I've said this before, but my pantry and storage are looking like a 1950's bomb shelter. : )  If you join, tell them I sent you and I can earn some free weeks.

4.  I recently joined MyPoints.com and click on emails and fill out surveys to earn points for $10/$25/$50 gift cards.  One of the offers today was for Vista Prints. They have tons of items you can personalize and pay only shipping.  So today, I ordered several stationary items for the girls; notepads, notecards, address labels etc with their names on it.  Then I personalized a T-Shirt for my son with the name of his movie production company on it.  I paid $11 for shipping for all of it and that was it.  Normally, it would have cost $50+.  Vista Prints also does free business cards with tons of designs to choose from.  I ordered a set for my jewelry design business.  Anyway, that was a little early Christmas shopping.  You know, just cute little things to put in the stockings.

5.  I usually get 2 Sunday papers so I can clip double the coupons.  I am SUCH an old lady. : )

Oh, there's probably plenty more where that came from but I better quit for now.  We've got our evening routine to conquer in time for the kids' favorite show.

Later.
