Default Re: What I did to save money today

I didn't go out! I needed a few bits of grocery shopping but I made do and didn't go shopping. There are two aspects to this saving - 1. There are aways 'temptations' in town! (As Oscar Wilde once said 'I can resist anything but temptation'!). Although I have a list I always manage to add something to it when I'm in the store. 2. Although I may need things I try to defer the purchase. With a 'line of credit' type mortgage the longer I can keep the money in my account the less interest I pay. Its calculated daily so even a couple of days makes some difference. I furthur defer depleting my account by using my credit card for all purchases - but pay it off in full each month of course to avoid interest charges.
