HOW I SAVED $5728 IN 2009 BY DONATING $10 A MONTH TO FREEREPUBLIC!Posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 4:52:13 PM by Recovering Ex-hippie
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 !
