Hey! Nobody warned me about the snuggies.
But I donate monthly anyway. Everyone, FReeper and lurker, should do the same. :0)

Last night I figured out how much money last year I SAVED by being a Freeper and what I got out of Freerepublic! AMAZING....Here is the breakdown:
Money I saved... 1. Not buying the local newspaper--$125.
2. No subscriptions to "News" magazines--$110.
3. Taking my homemade lunches, thanks to Granny's Frugal Cooking Thread--$260.
4. Mercury Light bulb Professional Cleaning ( cause Freeprs warned me!)I didn't need cause I didn't buy those dumb bulbs---$260.
5. Investment Newsletter I didn't have to order cause I get so much info here--$189.
6. Making my own Greeting cards using pics and cartoons on Freep ("Obvious Man" cartoon and "oh no, not this s...again!" pic) I saved $45.
7. Computer advice found here worth at least $165.
8. Dog care advice worth $60.
9. Money saved by not needing to take college classes on economics, history, politcs,geography and religion because of all the reference materials on Freep...$3,040.
10. All the crap I didn't buy because I was warned here..(no snuggies!)I saved easily--$465.
11. I saved a lot on movies and going out for entertainment with Live Action Freeps outdoors and all the Live Threads here..."24"; Football threads and of course the Obozo-Totus Comedy Shows--$1,009!
That's the monetary savings!
But more than that I got:
* Encouragement, inspiration and motivation during dark political times. * Spiritual Uplifting * A sense of renewed patriotism and true camraderie.
FREEREPUBLIC----PRICELESS !
Thanks Jim!
LOL!!
Will do soon.
Great post!
I saved a lot of money not going to movies by just reading spoilers here. :->
Thanks. I had been guilty of not making that donation and been on Freep for awhile...then I thought of how valuable to me this site really is...and amazed myself.
Yes, but what about the Cheese?
Man, you gotta be saving money with all the helpful info about cheese!
Unless of course you don’t like cheese. And if you don’t, then we have a problem.
