Saving The Day Thanks To DealDash
I decided earlier in 2014 that I wanted to save money to replace the flooring in my kitchen and dining room from linoleum to wood floors. I figured I could stretch my dollar even further by bidding on gift cards to Lowe’s or Home Depot on DealDash.com. I bid on a $100.00 Lowe’s gift card and was able to win it for $0.78 using only 6 bids on DealDash. Although I have not yet had another win like that, I knew I at least had started to build up a savings fund for what I hoped would soon be enough to pay for the flooring in full in the future.
Well fate had other plans. I was in my kitchen cooking this past weekend and as I went to turn the kitchen faucet off, the handle broke off in my hands. It was an expense I really didn’t need as I have more pressing bills to pay for right now. I remembered that I had that Lowe’s gift card and thought awesome! I gave it to my husband for him to go and pick us out a new faucet. After debating several choices, my husband and daughter picked out our new faucet. The gift card covered a good bit of the price with a little additional out of pocket.
I guess I will have to start my flooring “bank” all over again, but that’s ok. I am grateful we had the gift card to fall back on at a time it was needed.
