5th episode -Gay Finances in a str8 world: How Checking Receipts Can Save Money

From time to time, things get the best of me and I let various forms of paperwork pile up, putting off today what I can do tomorrow. I become the Bizzaro Ben Franklin. This pile can end up filling a paper box or two before I tackle it.

ooo squeeze me tit, you nasty ben!

This pile continues to grow larger until I eventually force myself to go through it for an hour or more on a weekend. Recently I completed such a task and found, to my horror, I missed a number of money saving opportunities while discovering ones I still could take advantage.

ahhhhhhhhh! i forget my undergarment !!
ahhhhh i'm running naked all over Manhattan

My first find was a Chili’s receipt. I found I could have completed an online survey for a chance to win $1000. Unfortunately, you had to do this within two days of receiving the receipt. While disappointed, I only missed a chance to win.

oh my godX3 i forget the fucking survey!
idiot!!how could u,

Next was an insert in my electric bill. I can sign up for automatic billing and get a $10 credit. This was a limited time offer. This was from a bill 2 months ago, which I paid, but never looked at the insert. Unfortunately, the offer expired.

Last was a TGI Friday’s receipt. I could have taken their survey for a $4 off coupon, but again, I missed the time limit.

So now that I have eliminated my pile and am still motivated to change my ways, what can I start doing?

hello! didn't i told you what to do...syial

Put the receipts in my wallet. The cashiers usually ask if I want the receipt with me or in the bag. I usually take a few seconds to answer before opting for the bag. These receipts are usually found when we unload the bags, which is not always right when we get home, and placed in the “the pile” to deal with later.

Take care of all paperwork daily. This may seem extreme for me, but I think it is best. If I find this is too big a step, I can pick one day a week to go through paperwork. This is still a better alternative to my sometimes-once-a-month routine.

Take time to read everything. In the case of restaurant receipts, I throw a lot of them away, so who knows how many opportunities I have lost here. As for bills and the ads that accompany them, I know most are crap, but sometimes there are money saving opportunities.

miaww, i am so lazy bitch ....

Wikipedia tells me procrastination has more to do with anxiety than laziness, which makes sense to me. I hate doing bills and paperwork. I would rather be doing something, anything, else. But I definitely don’t want to lose out on any savings either, so I think I’ll end it here and get started before another pile begins.

in case you are so lazy..
uihh i like it so kinky..yummy
