UNCOMMON CENTS 41

CAN YOU PAY YOURSELF $8.21 A DAY SO THAT $3,000 ISN'T AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM? I SAW A WOMAN CARRYING RED THUNDER, AN ENERGY DRINK IN 6 SMALL CANS, A PURCHASE THAT JUST WASTED $2.99. I SAW A NEIGHBOR CRUISING ON MY COUNTRY ROAD TO TOWN, 10 MILES DISTANT, THAT EXHAUSTED $2.00 A GALLON FOR THE 20 MILE ROUND TRIP. YOU COULD SNAP UP A 40% REDUCTION ON A BAKERY ITEM APPROACHING THE EXPIRATION DATE TO SAVE $2.20 ON A $5.50 CARROT CAKE. THEN THERE'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NEW JIGSAW PUZZLE OFF THE RETAIL SHELF AND THE $1.00 PUZZLE LANGUISHING FOR WANT OF A BARGAIN-HUNTER'S ATTENTION AT THE RE-SALE STORE. DO YOU REALLY NEED THAT $15.00 COLLECTIBLE CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENT; DO YOU REALLY NEED THAT $15.00 COLLECTIBLE CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENT REDUCED 50%?
HINT: THINK BEFORE YOU ACT. $8.21 A DAY ADDS UP TO $3,000 A YEAR.
