Birthday Week

This week is my birthday and I am trying to have a great time on a dime. So far I have been celebrating at least once a week for the past three weeks (you’d think I would have brought my camera at least once). The great thing about my birthday is that several restaurants offer free food and great promotions for your birthday week or month. I think this is great marketing strategy because who wants to eat alone for their birthday? Since the month has started I have eaten out three times for a total of $10. I hope I can continue this eating on a dime for the rest of the month, to help pay my traffic violation ticket.

Since this month has started, I have received numerous coupons and double point offers from several of my favorite stores. I tossed the coupons and so far I have not been tempted to go out and splurge. To be honest I do not have a need right now, especially for clothes. So no matter how cute the item is and no matter how cheap it may be I don’t need it. It’s a matter of necessity from here on out.

Happy Birthday! hope it was a great one. Good idea on avoiding the sales, even if they are great. it's a matter of Need not Want. I have done the same. We usually frequent the end of season sales, but not this year. Keep up the good work!
