- Only used my dishwasher once this week.

- Requested a few FREE samples.

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

- Used my gas rewards card from Save A Lot and saved .10 per gallon when filling up.

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

-  Planned my grocery shopping using sales and coupons. 

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

- Cashed in my Huggies Reward Points for a $25 Amazon gift card.  1250 points = $25 gift card, 2500 points = $50 gift card


- Read a couple of FREE magazines = FREE entertainment.

- Took the kids to the movies on Tuesday morning to see a FREE movie.  Part of the free summer movie program.  It was Bryson's first trip to the movies and he did great.

- Stayed home 3 days this week.  Saved gas by doing so.

- Made Mickey Mouse thank you to send out to guests at Bryson's birthday party.  I had everything I need to make them.  No money spent on supplies.

- Trying to use my ceiling fans a lot more and leave the A/C on 72 if possible. Its been awful hot here.

- A couple of months ago we purchased an above ground pool from some friends who no longer has kids at home.  DH has been installing it himself. No money spent on labor.

You had a great week. My son did the same thing buying his pool. He saved a ton of money.
