Poor Ricardo's Almanac, part 3


Reply-To: Tracy and Andy Hallen <athallen@yahoo.com>


In part 2 of "Poor Ricardo's Almanac" I told you that I had used 5 of the coupons in the "ReAL Boquete" coupon book, earning a return of $31.25.  Since then I have used 2 more coupons - one for the golf course at the Cielo Paraiso, and the other for the mini golf course in Valle Escondido.  Using the Cielo coupon saved me $50 as I got one round free with the purchase of 3.  The mini golf coupon saved me $5 and was great fun.  I suggest you try it if you are looking for an enjoyable recreational experience.  No golfing expertise is required and it is fun for all ages.
 
Net, my $30 investment in the "ReAL Boquete" coupon book has already netted me a return on investment of almost 300% ($86.25 on 7 coupons) and I expect to use several more coupons before they expire in December 2012.
 
As you know, all of the money generated by the sale of these books goes to support "ReAL Boquete", a non profit organization focused on protecting the environment by facilitating and promoting recycling.  For this reason, we view your coupon book purchases as more than monetary contributions.  We view them as votes of confidence that our efforts are recognized and appreciated.  So, if you have already purchased a book, thanks for your support.  We couldn't do it without you.  And if you haven't bought a book, we will keep working to earn your respect.
 
Here are 2 more quotes from Old Ben Franklin that I believe apply to this situation.
 
"The Use of Money is all the Advantage there is in having Money."
 
"The noblest question in the world is What Good may I do in it?"
 
We still have books available, so if you would like to acquire one, you can contact me or one of my associates, or you could just pick one up at the Recycling Center the next time you drop off your recyclable materials.  I also plan to have a table at the Tuesday Market on Feb 7 and Feb 14.
