Ways I Saved/Earned Money This Week

Here is a list of things I did to save/earn money in the past week:

- I read all of my Inbox Dollars emails daily to add money to my account.
- I read all of my MyPoints emails daily to add points to receive FREE gift cards.

- Didn't do any grocery shopping this week except for bread, milk, formula.  Only spent $15 OOP.

- Had leftovers for lunch 2 days this week. No food wasted and money saved by cooking something else.

- Continued trying to teach my 3 year old the importance of not leaving lights on or not using lights during the day when they are not needed.
- Cleaned out my coupon binder and filed new coupons for future shopping trips.

- Stayed at home all week most of the week due to the bad weather.  No gas money spent.

- Kept my thermostat on 68 and used my extra blanket on the bed.
- Watched 1movie for FREE saved on my DVR, thanks to Starz free weekend on Directv a couple of months ago. 
- Countinued countdown to Christmas with Payton.  I still haven't spent no money OOP.

- Made all meals out of stockpile.  No money spent on eating out.

- Reviewed a baby product and completed a survey for $10.
- Made a gift basket for Christmas out of my stockpile. I spent nothing OOP.
- Used another $5 coupon at the Hallmark store for a hostess gift and spent .88 OOP.  I have a family Christmas party tomorrow. 

What did you do to save/earn money this week?
