As I started back to work last week, I made sure I packed my lunch each day and refilled my water bottles at work. I figure at $3.50 per meal, times 5 days that this was at least a $17 savings!
Still eating on the tomatoes and cukes my cousin gave us--Thanks Charles!!
Since our grocery budget was minute, I made cookies for Tom to take to the hospital for snacks. He was in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and they are allowed snacks.
Bought gas at Kroger and used my fuel points to save $.50 per gallon. Thank goodness our prescriptions count towards the fuel points!
We did spend $6 for entertainment this week! It was more than worth it to see our granddaughter play volleyball! Gotta have some fun Jordyn time!!
We have been using our homemade clothes detergent for every load. At a cost of less than $.05 per load, we are saving a bunch on clothes detergent!
Finally, in order to bring our electricity costs down, we have been turning off the AC when the weather had been cooler and at night. We have also been more conscious of the lights being left on and making an effort to turn them off more. I hope to get a clothes line set up next week to reduce dryer costs.
What have you been doing to save money?
Blessings,
Lisa
