how much money did you save today?

[markio26]

and how did you do it?
i reused the coffee grounds and added a lil fresh coffee, to make a new pot.
i am using cheap coffee filters for paper towels now...and napkins.... so, much easier to store than the rolls and loose napkins.........
i delayed my multi shopping trip today, until tuesday, so, i can add in another stop,,, so, i saved about $4 in gas...did not purchase the sunday paper today, so, i saved about $1.50

Well, I never get the sunday paper and that is about $3. I am keeping the hot water off and the hear set on 60. I am not using the car today, saving about $1 in gas, plus I am having a no spend day.

I got $80 worth of groceries for $50 after coupons. Not my best, but it included things like milk and wine (for the kids and I , in that order, if we get snowed in tonight) that I didn't have coupons for.

an infinite amount, didn't shop, zero spent as compared to..well anything and everything I could have done, is infinitely smaller

[markio26]

about $12... we stayed home and made our own homemade veggie burgers and fries..... delicious......

I save 2$ on bus ride... I decided to walk but it cost me 2.68$ dinner in the end... *sigh* .______." It was really cold outside.

Not much. Not much at all as I had to buy dinner again for some folks. I am starting to dislike some of the relatives!

Yesterday I moved $343.17 to CD Savings Slush Fund. When the total in the account reaches $1000.00 we pop it off to a CD. This is what I call saving money on the way to investing it.


I think OP was actual asking us how we economized yesterday, yes? or how we came out ahead?

Coming Out Ahead: Yesterday I got a free Money mag issue from Mom saving me $2-4 off the newstand prices, but I wouldn't of spent that money anyway as I mostly peruse their articles online or if I ever do look at the mag it's at the library.
Trying to avoid some of the dumber things they often promote - who knows just how well I'll do. Trying to pick up on & implementing some of their smarter suggestions - we'll see. Not quantifiable at the moment.

Economizing: I put a $1.00 day old Entemann's bakery product into the shopping cart for a quick dessert for the supper table. I might have been able to make it cheaper, but time was the factor yesterday that I was 'saving' on.

ate at home today, items from the freezer...maybe a $12 savings... going to try to make healthy crepes later today...and stuff with strawberry filling with cool whip on top.... this will be a savings of about $10...

[markio26]

for lunch we ate crockpot chili, and homemade cornbread, dessert was homemade white birthday cake.
for supper, we ate homemade subs, tortilla chips...
our snack will be homemade bread pudding with green tea.........
