I seem to be spending a lot of money lately, just on basic needs. But I needed to order yarn and pattern for my annual afghan that I donate to the church for fundraising. You can see those I made in other years elsewhere on this blog.
I need to get started on it soon so that I have plenty of time to get it finished by February when the auction will be held. I do have money set aside for this, but when I checked my Paypal account, I found I had more than enough there to pay for the things I ordered. The money in the Paypal account comes from survey rewards that I had cashed in and had sent to Paypal.
My order came to $84 (gasp!) but I had $95 in the account. So all the yarn I bought for the afghan, plus two other projects, is free to me. I call that very frugal living! I am sorry, but you won't get to see what I am working on until after the auction.
All the surveys I do are online and just takes a little time. If I did them more regularly I would have even more money saved up, so I think I need to get busy again.

Three times in the past weeks I have had a credit on my PayPal from surveys and boy did that come in handy. It's saved me half of three different orders each time. Isn't that handy for something that generally takes just a few minutes each day?
