Money Saving Challenge - week 11 in review

I've been so busy this week, I didn't have much time for money-saving activities but did manage to do a few things:
  • I matched sales and coupons at Tops to save money on my groceries.
  • I returned bottles at the grocery store to lower my out-of-pocket grocery expenses.
  • When sales items were sold out at the grocery store, I made sure to ask for a raincheck.  Not only will I be able to get them at the sales price, but I may possibly be able to earn gas points when they are back in stock.
  • I combined errands on my outings to help save money on gas.
  • I walked home from school with my girls one day.  In all honesty, this was not a planned event but it did save on gas nonetheless!
  • I received a free sample of Tide Pod detergent in the mail.
  • I used coupons for Toys R Us and a local pizzeria to help lower birthday party expenses.
After my third child's birthday next week, things should settle down a bit so that I can get back into a blogging and money-saving routine.  If you did some frugal things this week, I'd love to read about them.  Leave me a comment below!
