Well, it’s official. Memorial day weekend – time for honoring our fallen soldiers and celebrating their courage all while bringing in the unofficial start of summer – has officially ended. The huddling around the grill has ceased, the beer has dried up and the gas has run out. You might be thinking the money has run out too. After all, with the cost of gas, tolls and beach fees rising, Memorial Day celebrations could be a bit pricey. So obviously a boat load of people will be doing everything in their power to cut back anyway they can.
Of course, I’ve been living in the frugal side of life and cutting back way before Memorial Day. As you may recall, I am aggressively working towards paying off my student loans. Like most people, I believe living debt free will change my life immensely. That means splurging on shoes, eating out, makeup hauls and random samples sales are a big no-no. As a of matter fact, spending money on anything at all is frowned upon until I get my student loan balance down to $0. I’ve been actively hunting down any deals, coupons and any bargains imaginable. On my quest to spend no money ever, I’ve realized that it’s almost impossible.
My father always told me that nothing in life is free because there is always a catch. According to him, even a kid’s birthday present is never free because you’ll have to buy batteries or some accessory to go with it. Because I am amazing at bargain hunting and butt heads with my dad frequently, I had secretly accepted the challenge of locating as many inexpensive deals that can help us get ahead in life. Since I can’t be beat, I’ve spent hours hunting down the best deals that were necessities in life. I found deals for groceries, toilet paper, shoes, etc. However, much to my surprise I found some things that are much better than just cheap life necessities. I’ve managed to come across a boat load of things that are completely FREE with no catch and have the ability to change our lives immensely. They have done wonders to help me in my quest to be debt free.
