How I earned my Rug

I've been patient ( which is a big deal ) and my patience paid off, literally.
This is how I got my Martha Stewart rug for zero dollars out of my bank account. Ready?

I sold on ebay:
$60 Target Gift Cards- I earned these for doing a health survey online for my insurance
$50 Pottery Barn Gift Card - I earned for spending through my bank's debit card
$50 Coach Wallet that I never used, it was a gift
$60 Olive Garden Gift Card- They sent me this after leaving feedback on their site!!
$80 Pottery Barn Item - was a gift years back
$35 Pottery barn wreath - I bought this $99 wreath for $4 on a christmas clearance, never used. made profit.
-------paired with--------------
15% off Home Decorators Code ( knocked off $59 )
