be alert

Thursday
Saving log - $0 tip box
Spending log - $15 haircut

Wednesday
Saving log - $3 tip box
Spending log - $8.80 stamps


Yes, I still buy stamps. Hopefully we will use the sheet by the time USPS hikes postal rates again.

We have tomorrow off, so today felt like Friday. Lawyer friend took pity on my sadness for the last ten days, and treated me to a coffee. Actually he treated me to his freebie from the punchcard. As he paid the cashier for his he told them, "and I have a bus pass."

I keep forgetting that some places give you a discount if you have a Seattle Metro bus pass.

Tonight I walked past where I get my haircut and saw a small sign in the window: $9.99 Haircuts Happy Hour 7:30 - 9:00 pm. Easy enough to get my haircut 2 hours later than I planned. (and it means the stylist gets a better tip).

Paid to be alert.

    lol - i think it's good to see when people 'treat' someone else, and for some reason i find it even more special when it's their freebie (heck, you'd have to pry my freebie cards out of my cold dead hands!). also, i like that they weren't self-concious about asking for the bus pass discount! Smile

    Is there a way to find out who gives discounts for bus passes?

    I agree with whitestripe--it's even more impressive when the person is a lawyer! If a lawyer isn't embarrassed about asking for a discount, why should we be? Smile

    That friend must really think you're something special to use up a freebie to treat you. Big Grin
