Ways I Saved/Earned 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 husband's to add points to receive FREE gift cards.

- We coupon shopping to Wal-Mart and Dollar General and took advantage of great deals. You can find what I purchase at Dollar General here and Wal-Mart here.

- 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.

- Compared gas prices online before filling up so I could get the lowest price.

- Received another $6 in taking surveys.

- Used FREE dishwasher detergent samples this week when using the dishwasher.

- Continued to use my FREE samples this week - shampoo, conditioner, soap, diapers, baby wipes etc.

- Took a day trip to the lake and didn't spend any money except for gas.

- Cashed in $10 in Amazon gift certificates from Swagbucks.  Continuing to credit my account for Christmas.

- Trying to drink more water.  Not only is this good for me but it will also be a great way to say money. 

- Did a couple of sponsored posts as a way to earn some extra cash.

- Planning a 1st birthday party for Bryson.  Made a list of things I need so I can look for the best deals.

- Purchased a Old Navy Groupon deal - $10 for $20 gift certificate plus I have a $10 Old Navy Gift card that I received FREE.  So my next trip to Old Navy I will have $30 to spend and only paid $10 for it.


How did you save or earn money this week?

I love reading how you find ways of saving money each week. I took advantage of the Groupon deal for Old Navy.

Great blog. I visit often.

Susan,

Thanks for your comments. The Old Navy deal was too good to pass up especially if you have kids. They have great clothes at great prices.
