DH and I had a pretty good day. How I saved money today
1) DH drove me to work, I stayed through lunch and ate soup there, he picked me up.
2) DH has been craving some takeout-I had a free olive garden giftcard $25. They let me order lunch portions-which were perfect. We ate at home and still have our salads and breadsticks for lunch tomorrow.
3) I got a $25 rebate from Ace Hardware. I bought a family member a good Black and Decker drill for Christmas, on black friday-they offered the rebate. This made the Christmas gift only $18. I was very excited. I'll be venturing to the bank tomorrow.
4) I'm doing rebates and coupons this evening while watching our local NBA team.
5) I got cold tonight while we were relaxing. The temps are single digits here. Our heat is on 68 currently. Rather than turn it up-I put on socks and got a blanket. This also helps DH stay comfortable. I'm a freeze baby he is not.
6) Defrosted breakfast meat for eggs, sausage and biscuits in the morning. I think I will make banana milk shakes also. :)
7) I absolutely love Swagbucks. I am the type of person who redeems as soon as I have enough bucks for what I want. So Wednesday I redeemed 45 bucks for an Amazon giftcard. 2 days later I already have 20 again. Trying to decide if I want a $5 Proflowers gift card or another Amazon giftcard. We shall see. I'll decide on Monday. This gives me more time to get more bucks.
8) DH and I are going to a movie tomorrow mid day(before the NFL playoff games start) to see Sherlock Holmes with free movie vouchers. I'm excited.
Reviewing shopping needs and CVS/WAGs/RiteAid ads.
Happy Hounding all!

When I earn swagbucks it seems like it takes forver....any tips ( I followed your blog from "Frugality makes sense." :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you can get lunch portions at Olive Garden any time of the day. Nice savings day you had.
ReplyDeleteHi Josette,
ReplyDeleteWell I've only been doing it for a month. I used to google a lot for work-now I do those searches through the tool bar first. Fridays are megabucks days where you are more likely to get higher value bucks. I also look for the daily code that is released. Some days I only get 1 some days I'll get 8 or 12. It seems to be completely random, I've talked to others who have said the same thing. I'm using swagbucks to help offset my gift budget this year with Amazon cards. I have an issue with patience so I cash them in almost immediately. I've come to terms with I will never hundreds because I spend them quickly.
Hi Precious-
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they had the lunch portion but the dinner portion is just too big for me and always end up with a half my dinner to take home. DH often does too. The lunch portion was perfect for us-no overeating but we still had our salads and breadsticks leftover. We had them for lunch today. :) I love free leftovers.
