GPS for free November 20, 2009

Posted by gmbmfb in : saving money , trackback

Yay! I just logged into my Adsense and it says that a cheque is being cut for me for $115.98. So that means I can now afford toget my GPS device. And it couldn’t come at a better time, because I’ve been having to jet around the Lower Mainland quite a bit over the last week, and kept having to call BF to make sure I wouldn’t get lost. Very stressful.

Especially today. I was stuck in traffic for 2.5 hours running an errand (there was a big accident on the highway), and that could have been avoided if I had a GPS to show me an alternate route. But because all I had was some Google map print-outs, I had to keep going the only way I knew how.

$250.87 (cost of GPS after tax via Amazon.ca)
- $157.65 in Amazon GCs (from Swagbucks)
- $93.22 from my Google Adsense cheque
TOTAL = FREE

I’m going to wait to order it for a few weeks – probably until I can see that the Adsense cheque has been mailed off to me, but knowing that I can now get the GPS for free is really awesome. It’s something that I’ve been wanting to get ever since I moved to Vancouver almost 2 years ago.
