A few months ago I talked about how I really, really wanted to see Season two of Person of Interest, but I didn't want to spend the $40+ to buy it on DVD, and I was iffy about paying about the same for it on Amazon Instant. I thought maybe I'd use some fun money for it ... but I procrastinated and procrastinated.
So a few days ago I found out that another program I was really interested in was on AmInstant - Klondike (Discovery) -- All episode for $9! Sold! I looked up Person of Interest again just to see if it had gone down in price. It hadn't, but I got a big itch to get it. So, I checked Second Spin. They had it for $25 + $4 shipping + tax = ~$31. That was less than AmInstant, so I thought about it. Especially since I could sell it back for $7, so it would make the actual cost about $24.
Thankfully though before I hit the purchase button, I checked Ebay! I found it (a used copy) for $14 with free shipping! Score! So now after I watch it, I will first try selling it on eBay, and if that doesn't work, I'll sell it to Second Spin. The most the final cost will be is $7. 
I'm thinking I may put my Netflix account on hold for March, and then just watch the PoI discs and the Klondike episodes instead. So, if you subtract the $8.23 of Netflix, then my total cost will be around $8. (For both PoI and Klondike.) I'll also have new episodes of Once Upon a Time towards the middle of March on Hulu free (next episode airs March 9!!) So I can add that to my viewing pleasure for March. 
NE says I'm a tv addict... he should've seen me when I had cable AND Tivo!!

I spent some money today getting my nails done. I can do everything myself for a manicure except the cuticles - I seem to have this phobia of cutting my own cuticles... If I could get over that, I'd save some money.
Why was I getting my nails done? Because tomorrow night I'll be heading to NE for the weekend.

Tonight as I was doing my Bing searches, I was checking to see how many more I needed and all of a sudden noticed my number was over 600. I was befuddled because I knew I needed about 40 more to get to my next redemption (500 Swagbucks for 475.) So I checked my dashboard and saw that I'd just gotten a referral!! Woo hoo! Thanks to whoever used my link. I hope you got your 200 already as well.
I redeemed for my 5th (I think) Bing prize, and my 4th time getting the 500 Swagbucks award. That code sure came in handy when they were having a big code day not long ago - all I had to do was apply my 500 code, and didn't have to worry about it. Tomorrow I'll be applying another 500 code to be sure I get my 21 day award (for making the daily goal.)

When I got home tonight I did a load of laundry, and am now doing a load of dishes. Once they're done I'm going to pack - that should give enough time for more hot water - for my shower.

Wowsa! The stock I was talking about a few days ago? I thought 200 was sweet ... Today it went as high as 214! but settled at 209. Still pretty sweet.

I got a pretty tempting email from GymPact today (cashed out for my third $10 payment so far in 2014 yesterday!) They'll give me $50 and some Pact swag (t-shirt? I think) if I upload my health info from my insurance site. They assure me that the info will be annonymously used once uploaded... And there's a Hippa document you have to sign electronically. I'm sorely tempted .. but not really sure I want to do it. They say it is for a study they're conducting with people who've used GymPact aka Pact for a year or more - to see if they can convince insurers that using a system like Pact will lower health care costs (thereby I guess giving Pact users insurance discounts??)
anyway - was curious what y'all would do?
Spent Some, Earned a Referral!

I would not give out my insurance information. Just to personal, for me, I guess.
Can you explain Bing Rewards and how you are linking it to Swagbucks. I have a Bing Rewards account, but only have 64 points. I see I set a goal for 500 Swagbucks. Is that what you are referring to? You can load it on to Swagbucks? How many points do you generally get in one day?
Have a great trip, Laura!

It sounds like you are not at gold status yet, so 500 Swagbucks I think would be 525 points for you. I would suggest spending 20 points on a sweepstakes to get your first purchase out of the way for gold status.
I currently make 40+ points most days. 30 points daily from searches on my desktop, and 10 points daily searching on my iPhone (can be done from any mobile -- go to bingrewards.com/mobile) Then of course there's the extra points - usually 1 to 3 points a day. It's just part of my routine. Log in, check to see what the SB goal is that day, start my Android phone for Enow, start my iPad for Sbmobile. Go to irazoo get the daily 6, click on 25 coupons to "print" for the 60 points. Go to Bing Rewards and do my searches (usually while reading email on my phone.) Takes about ten minutes and I generally do it while eating breakfast. Yes, I do multi-task.
