Ways I Saved/Earned Money This Week

- 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 - sticky notes, 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 four FREE samples.

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

- Compared gas prices before filling up.

- 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 free items and gift cards.

- Payton started carpooling to school in the mornings - Details here!

- Donated 6 bags and 4 boxes of items to the Salvation army. 

- My sweet mom gave me 6 steaks, 4 pieces of chicken, 6 pieces of flounder, 6 pieces of tilapia that she had purchased from a home delivery service.

- Took an inventory of my items in my freezer to meal plan.

- Took my change to the coin counter at the bank.  I had almost $70. 

- I also emptied out the kids piggy bank and took their change to the coin counter at the bank.  This was the first time I have ever emptied them.  Together they had almost $700 and deposited that money into their savings accounts.

- Shut a few heat vents in closets, storage closets, and computer room to help save on my heating bill.  Thanks to Precious at Frugal Makes Cents for this idea.
