Took dentist office photos all day for a friend and bartered for a cleaning and xrays, though I'm thinking I should try to swap it out and get that ZOOM teeth whitening treatment. Much more exciting than a cleaning, though maybe not as practical. I love the barter world- I just bartered with a sunglass shop and we traded two hours of photos for his website for a beautiful pair of designer sunglasses that I would've NEVER paid cash money for just because I would've felt it was excessive. But now that I have them, I see that they really are that much better than the 20 dollar pairs I'm used to. They are super comfortable, fit perfectly, and seem impossible to scratch. I also recently bartered photos for a 6-month supply of espresso at my local coffee shop, and with the chamber of commerce for 2 years of membership. Next I want to barter with some tasty restaurants, with a Japanese spa near us, with a nice clothing boutique or fancy shoe store. It's so much nicer than spending money. I seem to spend money on much more predictable items.
