These is the list of things I did this week to try to save money:
- I combined sales and coupons at Tops, Wegmans, and Target in order to save money (I didn't write a separate blog post, but I received a Target mailer with a coupon for a free dozen eggs and combined a couple Target clothing coupons with a cheap shirt and a clearance pair of shorts)
- I combined errands on outings in order to save on gas.
- I stayed home 2 days in order to also save on gas.
- I received a free reusable grocery bag in the mail from Believe in Heroes/Wounded Warrior project.
- I also received free Nivea samples and coupons via snail mail from CVS.
- I made another batch of homemade hair detangler. Watch for the upcoming tutorial -- it is so cheap and easy!
- I read my MyPoints emails in order to keep increasing my point balance so I can cash in for several gift cards later in the year.
- I utilized our Strong Museum membership and took the kids out for a fun day on the cheap.
- I took advantage of the school's PTA-sponsored family bowling event for a another fun and cheap outing.
- When a drive-thru was calling my name yesterday, I resisted the temptation and came home and made myself lunch. ;-)
- I only ran the dishwasher when it was full and used half of a dishwashing tablet each time.
Are you doing anything to pinch your pennies and stretch your budget? I'd love to hear about it!
