We spent another week saving our pennies. It’s amazing how much stuff each of us actually has and never use. I don’t know about other countries but Americans really do know how to over consume. We need to all take a step back and ask ourselves if we need everything we are spending our hard earned money on.
- I enter a lot of Instagram contests. You know the ones; like the page, tag a friend and say something you love about the place. I won a contest in December for a $50 dinner at a local restaurant. We went last weekend. The downside though, I got a $60 parking ticket. The night cancelled itself out. But, we rarely go out and this forced us to enjoy a night downtown.
- I won another contest, this one on Facebook. We won a year of free nail trims for one of our dogs. Last week we went in for their quarterly nail trim. I had acquired enough points on the vets app to get the other dogs nails trimmed for free as well.
- We had a nice, wood coffee table. One of our dogs decided that it would make a really awesome chew toy. Buying a new one seemed like a risk I wasn’t willing to take given the damage done to the one we had. A friend is moving and getting rid of all of her stuff. She gave us her glass and metal table for free. I have challenged the dogs to destroy that one.
- My daughter got a job at Starbucks. One of the perks of being a Starbucks employee is one free pound of coffee, per week!
- We officially turned the heat off for the year. Mornings have been a little crisp in the house, but it’s May, so off with the heat.
What have you done recently to save some cash?
