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 - toothpaste, lotion, shampoo, conditioner and toilet tissue.

- Only used my dishwasher once this week.

- Requested a couple of 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.

-  No grocery shopping this week.  Just picked up milk, bread and fruit.

- Entered Coke Reward Points and Huggies Rewards point to each account for FREE gift cards, coupons and gifts.

- Cashed Swagbucks in for a $5 Amazon gift card. 

-  It rained for 4 days and I wasn't able to do anything outside so I watched (2) movies I had recorded when Directv offered FREE Movie Package weekend.  I refuse to pay for movies. :)

- Did a couple sponsored posts for FREE products. 

- Besides carpool, stayed home 3 days this week.

- Sent gifts to Payton's teachers every day this week for Teacher Appreciation Week and spent less than $6. - Details here!   

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

- Printed a few coupons for future shopping trips. 

- Booked our vacation reservations.  Found a coupon code online to use plus I decided to call the reservations dept. just to see if I could get it any cheaper.  With coupon code and additional discount I received when I called, I saved almost $600.  I was sooooo excited!!!! :)

- My wonderful neighbors gave us several seeds and plants for our garden that they had left over.

- I got my Tahoe serviced and used a $5 coupon that I received in the mail.
