Frugal deeds for the day: Progress toward decluttering - I found a chair, household items, suit case, and more clothes to donate. Pick-up is set for tomorrow. I redeemed mypoints for a $10 Panera gift card for my husband. I just printed a few coupons for things I had planned to purchase anyway. My bonus hit my bank account. I transferred some to my daughter's college savings account and to our savings account. I called the realtor about our 2 vacant properties. Both need to be cleaned before being put up for rent. I asked for them to be put up asap. Apparently the house has a lot of stuff left including new children's clothing, amoir, etc. They are going to hire a subcontractor to get the stuff out and clean - sadly, sounds like both tenants will lose their deposits. I guess people have money to burn these days?
Added: Yikes, the bad weather has caused a tree limb to fall the yard of another rental property. The property manager thinks it may have knocked a shutter down. She is going out to the property to check. When it rains, it pours. Mail was decent. We had to fill out a form to get a spin-off stock - an energy company I believe. Kroger sent some nice coupons. My daughter and I grocery shopped at Aldi, Kroger and Wal-mart. I still have some $ left on my Wal-mart gift card. Aldi - we used cash and Kroger - what can I say, I used a points back credit card. I also used a coupon for a free sandwich at Arbys - and used the rest of the gift card and added a few $ as my daughter wanted a peppermint shake - they are seasonal - and I took a sip. So, easy dinner for the family. My husband, who is coming down with a cold, got his sandwich. I had turkey broth soup - made from leftover - and my daughter fended for herself. The dog looks fabulous with her new "do". I also ordered 2 $10 CVS giftcards from my Chase CC accounts. I plan to use them for household items I "need" - but hate to pay for - toilet paper, etc.
