Here is a recap of the things I did this week to save money as part of the Money Saving Challenge hosted by Precious at
Frugal Makes Sense:
- I matched up sales and coupons (as well as used a rain check) at Tops, BJ's, and Target to save money on my grocery bills.
- I cashed in Swag Bucks for a $5 Amazon gift card to be used for Christmas gifts later this year.
- After reading it on the Frugal Makes Sense blog, I started cutting my dishwasher tablets in half. I love this idea! I haven't noticed any difference in the cleanliness of my dishes and the tablets will now last me twice as long. Thank you, Precious!
- I ordered free samples and coupons from Proctor & Gamble.
- I received a free reusable bag and coupons from Cabot cheese, as well as coupons from Charmin and Twix, in the mail this week.
- When I ran out of glass cleaner today, I made a homemade version I found online. It works well, the ingredients are inexpensive and already in my home, and I didn't have to make a trip to the store and buy anything. For anyone interested, I used the 4th recipe featured here on the Crunchy Betty blog (don't let the idea of cornstarch in your glass cleaner scare you!).
- Instead of paying full price for tonight's long-awaited girls' night out at the movies, I was able to purchase a ticket for $6 through Groupon, plus I'll be able to get 3% of the purchase price back through Ebates.
- I haven't done the biggest money saver for the week yet. In a little while, I'll be cashing in my hard-earned Tops gas points and filling my tank for a steal. I'll be sure to come back later and update about this one. :-)
