How MyLot helped me make an extra hundred dollars plus in May!

I was MyLotting away a couple of weeks ago when I noticed that my desk was a mess. I started cleaning up old papers and throwing most of them out (long-paid bills, copies of old exams, etc.) and found what is shown in the photo hidden under all of the mess. I called the 800 numbers on the back of the cards and discovered that I had something like $150 of credit at Walgreens, LL Bean, and even Jamba Juice. I was able to retroactively apply the LL Bean card ($75) to an order I had just placed, and used the Walgreens card to buy some benign meds (you can't use Walgreens gift card to buy Sudafed, especially if you look like Walter White). I'm going to try to MyLot more this weekend. Who knows how it will help me get rich.

@TheHorse Haha I say the same thing. But then I get distracted by a toy or a notebook that is like 15 years old and it is all over from there.

This is a surprise. It seems that we have to clean up a lot, and there might be a surprise waiting.

Heh. I have a bunch of receipts in my jacket pocket for stuff I bought for the preschool. I keep forgetting to turn them in. Cha-ching!

I cleaned my desk last week and now I am unable to find a couple of coupons I am sure were on the desk. I suspect I threw them. Not a big deal.

@TheHorse I received the coupons in the mail, they send a limited number to those who use the grocery stores cards. I am pretty upset because one surely was for the gasoline.

Heh. I don't do coupons, but I tend to get gift cards from parents at the preschool at the end of the school year.

Oooo found money is a treat. And so is a tidy desk. I think. I haven't seen the surface of mine for a long long time.

I think someone like Einstein is mis-quoted as saying a tidy desk is the sign of a lazy mind, or something like that.

@paigea oh dear! Well, when I'm siting at my desk contemplating my navel, I tell myself that I am "thinking" or "planning."

@TheHorse Wow Willie Mays baseball card. Have not heard his name in ages. Too bad there is not a way to track lost things like if you call your phone you may find it if put somewhere in your home.

Indeed sometimes performing house cleanups gives a lot of benefits. I too have a lot of things to clean up. At the least, we can reduce the amount of dust in our house.

True, true. One time I found some money while cleaning. Me and my wife were like: "Did you put them there?" Not much, around 70$, but it was fun, we used them for a dinner

. You never know what will happen when cleaning
