Ways I Saved/Earned Money This Week

Here is a list of things I did to save/earn money this week:

- I read all of my Inbox Dollars emails for my account and my husband's daily to add money to our accounts.

- I read all of my MyPoints emails daily for my account and my huband's to add points to receive FREE gift cards.
 
- Purchased $72.00 in groceries for $38.00 with sales and coupons.
 
- Had leftovers for lunch 2 days this week. No food wasted and money saved by not cooking something else.

- Cleaned out my coupon binder and filed new coupons for future shopping trips.

- Filed a warranty claim for 5 new sets of shutters.  I have 5 sets that have faded and since I had my warranty information I called the manufacturer, filed a claim and they are sending 5 new sets for FREE.
 
- Compared gas prices online before filling up so I could get the lowest price.  Gas is outrageous and I think it is only going to get worse.
 
- Fulfilled one of my 2011 goals - Purchased a new laptop with money I have saved.  I ordered it from Staples received a $136 instant savings, $64 sale savings, ordered through Ebates to receive 2% cash back and I also qualified for free shipping.
 
 - Watched a FREE movie that I recorded from Free Starz Weekend this past weekend - The Karate Kid.  It was a good movie.  I recommended it.
