Toothbrush

Our first free item - a toothbrush! We had just been talking about our ideas for this challenge and how we'd like to get things for free, like toothbrushes (as free samples). Then we came across this toothbrush on the snow in the Hiller's parking lot - perfect! Well, maybe not perfect, but it's a start.

Earnings: Laughs :)

The Challenge

We are going to try to create a lifestyle that supports itself without having to go to work. We will spend our time doing what we enjoy and love doing, and will use those things to support themselves financially. For example: if there is a movie that we want to see, we will try to find a place that will buy a movie review from us and use the payment to cancel out the cost of the tickets.

We will also try to win things through drawings/raffles/contests, find opportunities to acquire free things, complete surveys, claim rebates, take advantage of reward programs, and use coupons to help create this lifestyle.
