Need ideas!

Hi everyone,

I've just been told that I'm not updating my blog enough and that people will stop reading. Problem being is what to say these days. I've been sticking to my budget; having some extra income coming in is helping with my savings, and having an automatic savings amount come out every paycheque is also helping.

So....what can I write about?
I was told about this website a few weeks ago: groupon.com
The premise is that you are emailed a coupon every day that pertains to your demographic (the area that you're in, your age, interests etc.). Today my groupon is "$12 for $25 worth of fare at The Teahouse in Stanley Park". This isn't too shabby at all. I went on the Tea House website and you can actually get a nice meal for $25 (you're only paying $12). The catch being is that the coupon is only good for that day so you need to be a fly by the seat of your pants type of person.
The other day Glen received a groupon for 1 month unlimited bootcamp, regularly $140 on for $30.

I also saved money this week by listening to the Vancouver Folk Festival from the beach instead of inside. For anyone that finds the Folk Festival too expensive (believe me, it's a great event, but sometimes it's just not in your budget; like me this year), walk down to Jericho and you'll find yourself at the secondary Folk Festival. I couldn't get over the amount of people that came down with their picnics to sit on the beach and listen to the music (which you could hear perfectly).

I'll try to write more and think of new topics to write about. If anyone has any ideas, please shoot them my way.
