On a Road Trip......


First, let me Happy Birthday to my dear grandma.  She will be 100 on Sunday.  We are celebrating with a birthday party today!

We will be leaving after the party and will return home next weekend.  We are heading to Chicago for 4 days and then to Indianapolis for 4 days.  I hope everyone has a great week.  Happy couponing, bargain hunting,  and deal finding.  I will be posting all the ways we saved money on our trip. 

I do have a great giveaway coming Monday.......Stay tuned!!

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.

- No grocery shopping this week.

- 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.

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

- Continued to use my FREE samples this week - shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and cereal.

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

- Watched 1 more FREE movies that I DVR'd when Directv was offering the movie channels free. I spent my "me" time watching movies and reading my FREE magazines.

- Took Payton and Bryson to the park for a playdate.  Nothing spent for FREE entertainment.

- Went out to dinner for my nephews birthday.  Found coupons on facebok and shared with everyone. We received 20% off and a free appetizer.

- Had my vehicle serviced. There was a recall, they repaired it plus I will receive a $100 check.  Never heard of that before but it was a nice surprise.

- Took a survey and earned $3.

- Took a survey for CVS and earned a $10 ECB.

- Took all my change to the bank and used their coin machine to cash it in = $145.

- Going on a trip next to visit family and do some site seeing. Found lots of restaurant coupons to take with me.  I know we will be eating out a lot and any coupons will help save.
