Money Saving Challenge for 2010(starting early)

What I did to save money today
1) I had oatmeal from my safety stock for breakfast(I eat it at work) plus side didn't use my electricity to heat it.
2) Quick 5 minute shower
3) Reheated leftovers from weekend in microwave for dinner and this cleaned out space in my kitchen.
4) I signed up for MyPoints :)
5) I redeemed a Swagbucks giftcard for Proflowers, this will be saved for Mother's Day flowers for my Mom-hoping to get a few more so I get the roses free.
6) DH made the decision that tomorrow he's driving me to work and picking me up because the weather is bad and his car is 4 wheel drive. (we tend to work different hours or we would carpool) This saves gas & wear and tear on my car. My work owns 2 buildings- they are .2 miles apart in an office park. And meetings are mostly held in the building I do not work in. I will wear my snow boots and walk tomorrow to my meetings. I did smartly schedule them all back to back to limit my trip to 1.
7) This one is the biggest money saver-I sat DH down and did a monthly goals/budget review for January to show him the numbers for savings and debt reduction.
