- I received a free sample box of Palmolive dish soap from Influenster to use and review (stay tuned for my review in the near future!).
- I cashed out my SavingStar balance.
- I rented movies from RedBox using free rental codes.
- I matched coupons and sales at Tops and Wegmans to save money on my groceries.
- I only ran my dishwasher when it was full and used a half dishwasher detergent tablet each time.
- I read my MyPoints emails to increase my points balance so that later in the year I can cash out for gift cards to give as gifts or use for my family.
