Quiet Day..

December 7th, 2005 at 01:36 am

I'm beat. Work has been busy, and it's been taking up most of my time, which doesn't leave a lot of time for spending. I did order a few bottles of wine. While I was at work, I was surfing our employee home page. Our company provides discounts to a bunch of different companies...some of the deals were pretty good. While I was there, I saw they had deals for wine.com (10% off) and Restaurant.com (15% off). Well at Restaurant.com, you can buy a $25 gift certificate to wine.com for $10, minus the 15% off from my company = $8.50. Couldn't beat that, especially since we were looking for this particular wine last week. I was hoping to stack the gift certificate with the 10% discount my company offers directly for wine.com, but unfortunately that didn't work. Still happy with the deal.

That was it for today. I'm tired, so I'm going to try to go to bed relatively early. I've been doing a lot of thinking about my goals for next year, and will continue to work on that. I finished reading Jean Chatzky's Pay it Down with $10/day. I think the problem I have is that I've already thought of the obvious stuff, which alot of these books address, and now I'm looking for creative ways for new saving. I guess that's why I find this site more useful than most of these books...

    You probably already know this, but Resturant.com has a lot of sales where they are 50% or even 60% off - you just have to find the codes. I think there was a 60% code that expired in November - so I'd suggest checking around to see if there is a December code. Smile
