Just Wait


                                                  Hello, my Cheap Cheetah Family

Happy October. If you would just wait, sometimes waiting works out for you. I'm talking about a few months ago, the City of New York wanted people to purchase a special garbage can that said NYC Sanitation Department on it. The garbage can was a certain size and had a special top on it. this was so the garbage men knew what kind of garbage was in the can, so I think. anyway, before the recycling garbage cans, the city was giving them away for free. Now these new garbage cans cost $55. Which I refused to pay because I had until June 2026 to get the cans, and I also had a garbage cam already that was exactly like the one the city wanted me to buy, minus the name of the sanitation on it.  So, I figure I will wait until the last 3 weeks to get the sanitation garbage, which would be sometime in May of 2026.

But.... I got a letter yesterday stating that the state will reimburse me for the garbage can if I purchase it. so I say thanks, and now I will be buying my garbage can early in 2025 because I can get my money back for it.  Did I mention it was $55 for this garbage can? That for a cheapskate like me, was too expensive.  Not when I can buy the same kind of can for $30 bucks. Yes, I'm cheap and love it! So, it pays to wait sometimes when you want to buy stuff. Because you never know when it will be on sale, or you might even get the item for free sometimes.

                            Have a Great Cheap Cheetah Day & Save that Money!!!
