Freebies
I am tired of Christmas already and it isn't even here yet. I've posted a lot of
Christmas freebies in my last
three articles for Savings.com. This week I just need to step away from Christmas for a bit.
This freebie list doesn't contain anything that has to do with Christmas. It's from the miscellaneous category
on my blog. It's a little of this and that.
Costco has a few freebies on their site, make sure you have your membership number ready so you can get them. Snatch up some
beauty products, it's the best way to try something before you buy it. Rosetta Stone offers a sample DVD for you
to try so you can make sure you really do want to learn that second language. When you're done getting those
freebies, get the free Redbox rental code so you can sit back and relax!

Money Saving Tips

The only new piece of furniture I own in my house is my mattress.
Everything else is a hand-me-down. Not only have I furnished my
entire house for less than $1,000, I'm saving the environment by
reclaiming furniture that would have otherwise ended up in the
trash. To make everything match and look nice, I have repurposed
many of the pieces. I'm no handyman, but there are several ways you
can repurpose furniture with little experience and
without spending a ton of money.
1. Paint
A fresh coat of paint gives life to an old piece of wood furniture.
You can paint the furniture to match the original wood or in any
color you like, (I have a blue desk.) The major hardware chains
sell samples of low-VOC paint for about $3.50 and its enough paint
to finish most jobs.
