For those readers not from San Diego, i.e. most of you, that means we rode approximately 5 miles each way, up hill and knoll, [...]]]> http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/22/give-me-a-kleenex-and-a-free-pizza/feed/ 0 http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/04/30/discount-card-or-loyalty-program/ http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/04/30/discount-card-or-loyalty-program/#comments Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:08:00 +0000 La Roxy http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/?p=431 April 30.

Tonight, I asked for something just to see if I could get away with it.

After dinner, Mr. A and I went for a neighborhood walk looking for dessert (again). We stopped in one pastry shop, Eclipse Chocolat, where I had a great cupcake a few days ago.

I’ve updated my excel spreadsheet, where I keep track of the financial gains of this project, and here’s the latest figure.Since starting last July, I’ve saved or gained almost

That’s the total of all the goods, services and cash I’ve either saved or received by asking. Free cookie? $2. A bookstore discount? $50. [...]]]> http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/03/01/hmm-what-could-i-do-with-2300/feed/ 3
