I don't normally discuss my expenses (I usually don't do anything thrilling), but today I think came out very well indeed, so I'll write it down.

I started the day with yard sales:
Edging for around the flower beds: $4 (should be enough to do the whole yard)
A sit on / ride on / holds garden tools rider: $3
New sneakers (Nike): $2
Old toy train track: $1 (I checked for this type online, it would sell for about $25)
Toy lawnmower that blows bubbles for a child I know: $0.50 (its like new)

Then I went and set up a CD at my credit union - 3 years at 6% (pretty good rate)

Took my renter to the airport after this, and he gave me $25 for the ride (I told him he didn't need to but he insisted).

Went to McDs afterward, and with coupons I received 2 weeks ago got a large drink and quarter pounder for $1 total.

Next went to book store and with store credits, buy 2 get one sale, and an additional 15% off coupon, got 3 seasons of TV series (regular price $130, I paid with my credit card $1.76)

Next went to see a movie, paid $0 (free movie coupon online courtesy Johnny Walker liquors)

After movie went to McDs, had more coupons like above, again paid only $1.

When I got home I had my quarterly dividend check in the mail (electric company - was only $23 - but still it was nice).

OK, I'm staying home from here on out today, I don't think I can improve my finances after all of this.
