Obsession

I love finding discounts and freebies too much. Some might almost consider it an obsession. Nothing makes me grumpier than paying full price. I dedicated my old email for junk emails that I plan on checking just enough to get my birthday coupons and other freebies I can’t do without. I turned 24 on this Tuesday (the 24th—Golden Birthday).

Below is a list of 24 freebies (or coupons) that I received for my birthday:

So, I had a great birthday. No seriously, these coupons (along with everyone else who was nice to me) made my day. I haven’t redeemed them all yet. Let's face it-- I won’t redeem them all—-that would be a lot of eating out, but it was still fun. I think half of the people reading this email now are thinking “What a waste of time and email space,” and the other half are signing themselves up with their junk emails too.
