My Favorite Deal This Week

I received a Kindle for my birthday in July.  I love to read and I was very excited when my husband surprised with one.  I have been looking for a Kindle case ever since.  I definitely wanted some kind of protection for it.

I have looking on Amazon.  The prices range anywhere from $16.99 to $39.99.  I kept hoping I would find one cheaper. 

I hit the jackpot yesterday.  I found a 6" Kindle case for only $6 at Big Lots.

Where did you find a great deal on your iPad, Kindle, or tablet cases at?

Ways I Saved Money on our Beach Vacation

My family took our annual beach vacation a couple of weeks ago.  We look forward to this every year.  The weather was great and we had a wonderful time.  We got to visit with some friends who were also their on vacation.  My brother and his family came down for a few days and we got to visit with them.  I also celebrated my birthday while we were there.  What better place to celebrate?

Here is how I saved money on vacation:

- I booked reservations by comparing prices online.

- I also received a 30% discount by using a flyer I received in the mail when booking our reservation.

- Our resort has awesome water park including a water slide, lazy rivers, numerous pools inside and out, and a kiddie pool play park inside and out.  I feel like this an extra bonus and no desire to go to a water park while there.  The indoor pools and play areas are great in case you have bad weather.

- I started a vacation grocery bag a couple of months before for nonperishable items such as paper towels, paper plates, snacks, condiments, etc.

 - I saved samples/freebies that I received in the mail to carry on our trip - toothpaste, dental floss, lotion, shampoo, conditioner etc.  The small bottles work great for 1 week plus it saves space in your luggage.

 - We always have lunch in our room.  I took lots of items from home that I had purchased on sale with coupons that I included in our vacation grocery bag.

- We received a FREE breakfast buffet at the restaurant next door with our reservations.  This was a great FREE extra.  I didn't have to worry about buying breakfast foods. 

- When checking in I noticed several coupon booklets in their lobby for local attractions, restaurants etc.  I picked up a couple to use during the week.

 - I ordered a $25 gift card from MyPoints for a restaurant that we had planned to have dinner at.  I also had a $5 coupon.  Our dinner was less than $25 for 4 people and that included 2 adult entrees, 2 kids meals, drinks, and an appetizer.

- We ordered pizza one night and had it delivered.  We searched the yellow pages for local pizza delivery places.  I picked 3, called each one to check out their specials and choose the best deal.

- Had dinner at Outback one night.  I received a free appetizer by saying "Bloomin Monday" to our server.  I saw this offer on their Facebook page.  I also had a $5 coupon plus a $10 gift card.  Great deal for a great meal.  I love Outback.

- We did not purchase any drinks or snacks while at the pool or on the beach.  I had everything we needed so I packed a cooler and snack bag everyday.

  In my opinion, you can't go to the beach without going to eat at a seafood buffet which includes crab legs of course.  (my favorite) The buffets can be quite expensive and make sure you go very hungry.  One afternoon we had a rain shower so we decided to go eat a little earlier than than normal so we go the early bird pricing plus I found a coupon in the coupon book I picked up when checking in.  This saved us $12.

What I Did to Save Money on Vacation

Last week, my family went to Myrtle Beach for a week.  Its a trip we look forward to every summer.   Traveling anywhere can be expensive but by planning ahead, I was able to save a lot of money.  Here is what I did.

- I booked reservations by comparing prices online.

-When calling to make reservations, I asked if their was a discount for return customers.  I had noticed online that there was lots of availability for that week.  I did receive a $600 discount for a weeks rental.  I was so excited.  Remember, it never hurts to ask.

- Our resort has awesome water park including a water slide, lazy rivers, numerous pools inside and out, and a kiddie pool play park inside and out.  I feel like this an extra bonus and no desire to go to a water park while there.  The indoor pools and play areas are great in case you have bad weather.

- There was a FREE kids day camp during the week.  The kids saw a magic show, went to animal show by the pool, and Payton made a bracelet one day. 

- I started a vacation grocery bag a couple of months before for nonperishable items such as paper towels, paper plates, snacks, condiments, etc.

- I saved samples/freebies that I received in the mail to carry on our trip - toothpaste, dental floss, lotion, shampoo, conditioner etc.  The small bottles work great for 1 week plus it saves space in your luggage.

- We always have breakfast and lunch in our room.  I took lots of items from home that I had purchased on sale with coupons that I included in our vacation grocery bag.

- When checking in I noticed several coupon booklets in their lobby for local attractions, restaurants etc.  I picked up a couple to use during the week.


- I won a $25 Kroger gift card a few months ago.  I saved it to take with us on vacation.  I found a local store there before leaving, checked out their sales ad and planned my shopping list of perishable items we would need to purchase once we got there.  I also took coupons with me to use on items we had to purchase. I spent less than $20.

- I ordered a $25 gift card from MyPoints for a restaurant that we had planned to have dinner at.  I also had a $5 coupon.  Our dinner was less than $25 for 4 people and that included 2 adult entrees, 2 kids meals, drinks, and an appetizer.

- We ordered pizza one night and had it delivered.  We searched the yellow pages for local pizza delivery places.  I picked 3, called each one to check out their specials and choose the best deal.

- Had dinner at Outback one night.  I received a free appetizer by saying "Bloomin Monday" to our server.  I saw this offer on their Facebook page.  I also had a $5 coupon plus a $10 gift card.  Great deal for a great meal.  I love Outback.

- We did not purchase any drinks or snacks while at the pool or on the beach.  I had everything we needed so I packed a cooler and snack bag everyday.

- We went to the yogurt shop across the street for dessert one night last year.  They were giving out punch cards.  For each yogurt purchase, your card was punched.  After 5 punches, you received a free yogurt.  My card was punched 3 times last year.  I actually had my card from last year in my wallet.  We took the kids in one night for dessert and I used my card.  We purchased 3 yogurts so my third one was FREE. 

- In my opinion, you can't go to the beach without going to eat at a seafood buffet which includes crab legs of course.  (my favorite) The buffets can be quite expensive and make sure you go very hungry.  One afternoon we had a rain shower so we decided to go eat a little earlier than than normal so we go the early bird pricing plus I found a coupon in the coupon book I picked up when checking in.  This saved us $12.

- I love to go to Broadway at the Beach. Browse the shops, feed the ducks and fish, check out their amazing candy store.  Build-a-Bear is also there so I decided to take the kids.  Payton had been before but Bryson hadn't.  I had (2) $25 gift cards.  One I won in a blog giveaway and the other one was a birthday gift for Brsyon.  I found coupons in the coupon booklets for $5 off a $20 purchase.  The kids had so much fun making their bears.  I did too!!  It was great family fun. Bryson just turned 3 and I was sure if this would interest him or not but he was all into it.  He made a Baseball Monkey and a Payton made a Cody Simpson koala bear complete with outfits and accessories.  Total saved with coupons and gift cards $60.

- We also took the kids to Family Kingdom amusement park.  This was something they were looking forward to on our trip.  They had so much.  I found a coupon in the booklet I picked up while checking in.  I saved $10 there.

- Payton has been saving her allowance, change, tooth fair money for months to take to the beach.  She had planned to buy something for herself but she decided to buy her friends and whole a small souvenir each.  She picked out each item herself. She had a budget to work with so this was a great learning experience on how much things cost. She did stay within her budget and purchased a gift for everyone.  I actually had a coupon for the shop so she receive a free sand dollar and t-shirt for herself with her purchase.  She was so excited.

The biggest thing I learned on our trip....ALWAYS check out the local coupon booklets.  You never know what you will find.  I saved a lot of money using a few coupons and Payton received 2 free gifts.

Bryson turned 3!!! How I Saved Money on his Birthday Party

Bryson turned 3 on Tuesday!! Where has the time gone?  It is amazing how fast kids grow up.  It seems just like yesterday he was born.  What an exciting and blessed 3 years it has been.

Bryson lovessssss Mickey Mouse!  So of course, I had to have a Mickey Mouse birthday party.  Some may think that I spent way to much on his birthday party but I did try to save money in every way possible.  Yes, I could have a party and spent a lot less money but they are only young once, they have one birthday party year and I think it is something to celebrate. 

The biggest cost for his party was a bouncy house.  There are 3 local places that have these to rent.  I first checked out all three of their websites found a bouncy house at each location that I liked.  I then called to check availability and compare prices.  The one I finally chose beat their competitors by $25.   It was definitely a hit and the kids had a blast.

I purchased the Mickey Mouse birthday "cupcake" cake at Walmart along with other food items need for the party. I keep the food very simple cake, ice cream, chips with dip, peanuts, pickles and I made Mickey Mouse cookies with oreos and mini oreos.  I had a $25 Walmart gift card plus I matched prices with several other items.

I purchased Mickey Mouse plates, napkins, cups, matching plasticware, invitations and some party favors from Toysrus.  I used a $25 gift card.

I didn't spend a lot for decorations.  The decorations consisted of welcome sign made out of posterboard, balloons, a happy birthday banner, Mickey Mouse ears and gloves made from posterboard,  and stuffed Mickey Mouses (that we already had). I also made Mickey Mouse ears instead of party hats with headbands and foam paper.  I headbands for 4/$1 at the Dollar Tree and spray painted them black and then super glued ears to them.  They turned out great.

I added Mickey Mouse ears to our gumball machine and provided pennies for the kids.  This was a huge hit!

I fixed a party favor bag for each child including my two children.  They were a hit too.  I purchased the recycled Disney Mickey Mouse bags at the Dollar Tree for only a $1.  Each bag contained a Mickey Mouse paint set - $1 for the girls or a Mickey Mouse book - $1 for the boys, mini clay set .50 each, Mickey Mouse sucker - .25 each, a bag of Skittles - Free (already had) and Mickey Mouse stickers .10 per sheet of 8.

We had so much fun at the party!  Bryson was wiped out Sunday night.  Next birthday party to plan is not until October.

When planning a party if you plan in advance you can always find ways to save money Purchase things on sale or clearance.  Compare prices for big ticket items such as your gifts.  Use items you already have to decorate with or make them yourselves.  Use your Swagbucks or MyPoints for gift cards to use and cut back on expenses.

The Biggest Way I Saved Money This Week

The biggest way I saved money this week was by using things that I already purchased on sale, clearance or with coupons and not having to go shopping and spend money. 

I wanted to send a sympathy card to family friend who lost her husband.  I just went to my card box and pulled one out.  I purchased the card using a coupon and ECBs at CVS and got it for FREE a few months ago.

I also needed a little girls birthday gift for a party today for a classmate of Payton's.  I already had a gift in my gift closet along with a gift bag, tissue paper and a card.  No money spent for a gift.  This gift was actually purchased on clearance at Target.

Lastly, I wanted know of 2 baby showers that I will be getting invitations to in the next couple of months.  I knew I already had gifts so I went ahead and pulled out their gifts to make sure I had everything needed.  I still have gift bags from my baby showers for both of my kids so I pulled a couple of those out along with cards that I purchased for almost nothing using a coupon and reward certificates at the Hallmark store a few months ago.   All I need to do is add the tissue paper.

The Biggest Way I Saved Money This Week

The biggest way I saved money this week was by paying off 3 bills.  After I received my tax refund, I debating on whether I needed to save it all or pay off these bills.  Some people think it is best to save your tax refund.   I felt like paying off these bills would be better for us.  In doing so, this will save us $150 a month.  With this savings and my savings from our Directv satellitle bill and refinancing our vehicle, I will saving a total $240 per month on my monthly expenses. 

In reviewing my monthly expenses, I set a goal of trying to save $350.   As of right now, I am at $240.  Only $110 left to go. I have a couple more things to work on that I hope will help my reach my goal.

The Biggest Way I Saved Money This Week

The biggest way I saved money this week was by refiancing my vehicle loan.  I compared rates at 3 places before finding the lowest one.  By doing so, I will be saving $65 a month, a total of $780 a year.

With this savings and my savings from last week on my Directv bill, I will saving $90 per month on my monthly expenses.  That is a total of $1080 savings over the next 12 months. 

In reviewing all of my monthly expenses, I have set a goal in how much money I am trying to save in my monthly expenses.  My goal is $350.  As of right now, I am at $90.  Only $240 left to go.  Let's see if I can reach my goal.

The Biggest Way I Saved Money This Week

 

This week I started reviewing every bill looking for a way to lower our monthly expenses.  My biggest savings so far came from Directv.  I have been a customer of theirs for almost 10 years.  When we first moved into our home, cable was not available in this area so we had no choice to go with a satellite provider. 

I called customer service and asked if there was any way I could receive a discount since I was a loyal customer.  That didn't work.  My customer service representative kept trying to offer me another package with a $2-$3 savings.  That was not what I was looking for.  After repeating several times that I was calling to see if their was a discount available for being a loyal customer, he began to get a little frustrated with me.  At this point, I googled their competitor and started comparing what I could receive if I switched providers. He then transferred me to their promotions department. (Note:  Ask for the promotions department if you try this.  This where you get results!)  I spoke with a wonderful, helpful young lady who was able to give me what I was looking for.  I got a $25 discount off our monthly bill for 12 months plus I also received 2 movie packages FREE for 3 months.  

I was on the phone for almost 20 mins but I finally did accomplish my goal.  I was very happy with my outcome.  I plan to take advantage of the FREE movie channels and DVR some great movies to be used in the future for FREE entertainment. 

One phone call saved $25 a month, $300 savings for 12 months plus 2 FREE movie packages ($77.94 value) for 3 months.

Have you ever asked for a discount from your satellite or cable company before?

The Biggest Thing I Saved Money On Last Week

Here is a great example of how keeping a gift closet saves me money.

When I find great gift ideas on sale or clearance I will purchase a couple to add to my gift closet for gifts needed throughout the year.  I always try to have gifts on hand for adults and kids.  I also buy greeting cards when I find a great deal.

Payton was invited to a birthday party Saturday for 2 of her classmates that are twins.  Thankfully, I already had everything I needed for the party.

I had gift bags that I had recycled from Payton's birthday party.  I already had tissue paper and ribbon.  I pulled 2 gifts out of my closet.  Fortunately, I had 2 that were alike so that worked out great.  I didn't have birthday cards and I really didn't want to spend the money on them.  I know that 6 year olds don't really pay that much attention to their cards so I had Payton to make gift tags with supplies I already had.  We used scrapbook paper scraps and 4 foam punch outs.  Making the gift tags turned into a craft session for Payton which she enjoyed especially since she was making them for her friends. 

Here is our gifts:

Do you keep a gift closet?

The Biggest Change I Made To Save Money This Week

A couple of weeks ago, I shared My Biggest Change I Made to Save Money by finally started letting Payton ride the bus in the afternoons 3 days a week.  That cut back saved me 90 miles of traveling.  This week, we started carpooling in the mornings.

A really good friend of mine moved into her new home last week.   Luckily, her home is very close to me and she too has a little girl in kindergarten at the same school as Payton.  We decided to start carpooling in the mornings to save us both some gas money.

We are taking turns driving the girls to school by rotating weeks.  In a month, this will save me and her too 300 miles of driving/gas.  Along with my savings from letting Payton riding the bus in the afternoons 3 days a week, I have cut back my traveling/gas bill by 640 miles.

I know I will see a difference in my gas total this month.

Do you carpool?

The Biggest Change I Made Last Week to Save Money

It has been 5 months since Payton started kindergarten.  It has been a change for everyone but a good change.  She loves school and is doing great.  The whole family did have to get on a schedule for school including me.  We have had to plan our evenings around homework, weekly word tests, and a strict bedtime schedule (she is like me, she loves her sleep). 

I have also found that I was spending a lot more on gas since I was taking her to school and picking her up every afternoon.  It is 30 miles roundtrip and I have been making 2 trips a day totally 60 miles a day for 5 days equally 300 miles a week. 

She has been begging since the 1st day of school to ride the bus.  After a lot of thought, I realized I am the only one stopping her from doing this.  It was time for moma to let go just a little bit more.  After talking with her bus driver, I let her ride the bus home last Tuesday.  We decided to use that day as a test day to see if she liked it.  She rode the bus home for the first time and loved it.  She is even more excited that several of her classmates were on the same bus. I am still taking her in the mornings because she would have to get up almost an hour earlier to catch the bus in the mornings.

So she is now riding the bus 3 days a week.  With this change, I have cut back my mileage by 90 miles.   I also have an extra 2 hours a day to accomplish any chores, errands, spend time with Bryson and have a little free time for me.

HOW DECLUTTERING AND ORGANIZING PAYS OFF

A couple of weeks ago, I had a Decluttering and Organizing Week at my house. I shared with you how I organized and decluttered my jewelry armoire.

While doing so, I found a few gold pieces that was broken and twisted. I was going to throw them away until I remembered seeing a sign at the jewelry store (privately owened) at the mall where you could cash in your old gold.

I finally took my small bag of broken and twisted gold jewelry in Saturday.........

I am still in shock over what I received............

$ 190

I really thought I would be lucky to get $50.

I have proven that it does PAY to declutter and organize.
