Saving on Saturday

  • Turning off lights and not using the heat or air condition. We have been fortunate to have a very unusual Spring so far with temperatures the end of March in the 80s and now most of April temperatures around 70. Even with everyone home during most of the month, we reduced our electricity bill by $70 from what was budgeted.
  • I am keeping a close eye on the sale ads. I had actually ran out of 2L of Diet Coke last week but Food Lion, our local store ran a sale for $0.99 on Wednesday and then reduced to $0.79 Friday thur Sunday. I am stockpiling these. My goal is to have purchased a total of 50 by Sunday. These do not go bad and at a saving of $0.90 a bottle. I can give up a little extra space.
  • While at Food Lion, I decided to check the clearance bins at the back of the store. I was shocked to find that they had reduced the price of a bunch of cookies. Most items were between $0.25 and $0.50 cent so I decided to go ahead and stock up. I spent a total of $16 for all of this!

I also headed out to CVS this week to grab some deodorant and shampoo that was on sale. I had an average of 59% saving. I am actually pleased with this as I started out with no ECB and ended with 3.
