Ways I Saved/Earned Money This Week (Past Couple of Weeks Included)

- My computer crashed a couple of weeks ago and my dear sweet friends Shannon fixed it.  Thanks Shannon, you saved me lots of money!

- I read all of my MyPoints emails daily for my account and my husband's to add points to receive FREE gift cards.

- Cleaned out my coupon binder.

- Continued to use my FREE samples this week including - 589
toothpaste, lotion, shampoo, and conditioner.

- Only used my dishwasher once this week.

- Printed a few coupons for future shopping.

- Paid a couple of bills online. No money spent on stamps.

- Requested a couple of FREE samples.

- Read a (1) FREE magazine that I received in the mail this week.

- Stuck to my menu plan this week. No eating out.

- Used my Just Save fuel rewards when filling up with gas and saved .20 per gallon.

- Continued to cut my dryer sheets in half to save.

- Planned my grocery shopping using sales and coupons.

 - Did a couple of sponsored posts for cash and gift cards.
 
- Cashed in Swagbucks for (1) $5 Amazon gift cards.  I am already saving for next Christmas!

- Ordered 1 last gift from Amazon. Paid nothing OOP since I have a credit from my FREE gift cards from Swagbucks.

- Ordered my FREE Christmas cards from Shutterfly for doing a sponsored post.

- Sold 3 toys that my kids have outgrown to my hairdresser for $40.

- Wrapped all my Christmas gifts with paper purchased from clearance last year for almost nothing. 

- Used Christmas gift bags that I recycled from last Christmas for a few gifts.

- Still organizing and cleaning out my storage closet.  It is taking me awhile because I work on it a little bit each day while my 2 year old is napping.

- Donated 7 garbage bags of clothes, 1 box of books, approximately 100 items on hangers, and 2 garbage bags of toys to the Goodwill.  Got a receipt to use on my taxes.

- Donated a couple of toys from my gift closet to Toys for Tots.

- DH replaced my windshield wipes instead of taking my Tahoe to the dealership.  Thanks DH for saving me a trip and money.

- Cashed in 30 Coke Reward Points for a coupon for a FREE Coke 12 pack, one of the 12 days of Christmas offers.
