I just got back from running a few errands. I sold the first half of the books I wanted to sell. I may pop a few more into the bag for tomorrow or Wednesday's trip to the thrift store. I bought a Kindle Fire for $15.00 while at the thrift store, but since I had vouchers I got the kindle for free.
Then I got FREE ALCOHOL. I went by Costco to get eggnog wine cocktail with my $10 costco shop card. So yay! A free day for me!
Oh, and the store gave me $12.10 for my books. It would have been $25 in store credit but I always like getting the cash / credit split. So I got $1.00 in credit and $12.10 in cash.

I am always glad when I get cash from a store. Two weeks ago, when I went grocery shopping in Italy, I noticed that I had "points" on my card to receive the equivalent of $ 20.00, the points expire at the end of December, I had time, but I decided to go at the customer service and cash them. Great Ideai!!! The border is closed now and not sure it will reopen before next year.

So you are given $20.00 or you are given a $20.00 store card?
Here points are linked to the membership card of the store. I need to spend $50.00 in the grocery store two more time before I will receive $20.00 back. This is only for the holiday season though.

@ScribbledAdNauseum No, I was given $20.00 cash, I paid part of what I bought with the cash I received. We receive points every time we go grocery shopping. For the moment I cannot go.

I thought so. I love those days when I can get things for free or cheap. I am going to get a chromecast and sell them my roku eventually.

@Tina30219 Thank You. I am happy to receive any amount of money, but I am particularly happy when it's over $5.00.

@moffittjc I've only have enough left to fill up a shot glass, and honestly I WAS going to share... but that obviously won't happen with this bottle.

@nawala123 Thank You! I wouldn't have been able to buy it if it weren't for the vouchers I saved up. It was only $16 worth of vouchers, but more than enough.

I love free stuff! One time I got some Gevalia coffee for free and they also sent some tea. That's what I discovered Gevalia makes great coffee and excellent tea!

Oh wow! That's a really awesome freebie to get. I knew they made Coffee but I wasn't aware they made tea.

@cmoneyspinner Hmm, maybe they are trying to break into the tea market then?

@ScribbledAdNauseum - Me either! That's why I was so surprised. They sent it as an extra sample with the free coffee.

I was so pleased to see the kindle at such a cheap price. The other kindles they had were around $35.00 and I would have had to pay some.

They accept any kind of book from fiction to manuals. However, they won't take a manual if it's over like five years old I think. They don't give a ton of money for it, but it's better than nothing and easier than selling on facebook marketplace.

I had a Kindle Voyage until it broke, I got the same model and it never worked. I love my kindle! Now I can read in bed without my phone.

@DesirousDreamer I'll eventually get one of those myself. It's a lighter thing, isn't it? I love my fire but wow it can be heavy.

I've been wanting a newer kindle for years. I had one of the older models before and it broke. This one is older too, but it's still in good condition.

@MommyOfEli2013 The lady tested it in the store for me before I took it home. I had to ask her for a cord to go with it.

Cool. I haven't gotten anything free lately. Crowdtap didn't have a contest on Friday so I couldn't win a 10 dollar Amazon gift card which I need badly. I got my Black Friday list dwindled as far as I can. I hope my uncle approves of the amount I'm going to give him.

Oh no! I hope crowdtap has a contest this Friday then. I haven't used crowdtap in ages.
I don't always buy gifts for the people in my household, it just depends on how much money I have at the time.

It is. I am going to sell the rest of the books tomorrow (maybe) and look to see if they have a chromecast. I might be able to get it for cheap if not free.
