Negative spending day!?

Yesterday, not only did I not spend money, I got money back! Pretty sweet right? Here is how it happened.

Remember that sweater I bought? It was this light grey color. I love grey, which is why my closet is full of greys and I thought I should try another color. I took it to the store, hoping to exchange it but they were all out of other colors in my size. I did notice that instead of the 30% off I got last week, the sweater is now 40% off. I talked to the salesperson, and got a price adjustment. Voila, got $5 back.

Because of this side trip I went to class a little later than usual. I wasn't late. It just meant that instead of getting there 45minutes before class, I got there 10 minutes before class started. This was my last class before exam on Saturday, so there was no new material. The lecturer just gave us a quick review and list of questions to do in the text. It was over in less than an hour. Know what that meant? It meant I could use the same train ticket to get home (it's good for an hour and half). I saved about $2.

I know it's peanuts that I got back. But saving money is like a sport to me. And when I do it with little effort and unexpectedly it's even more enjoyable. Strangeness, I know.
