This been a very different week, Amanda had an emergency C-section on Tuesday night and I did not work on Wednesday. Tropical Storm Michael came through on Thursday, we lost power around 8:30pm and I did not work on Friday.\u00a0 I have always said it is the small things that add up, and this week is the proof. Here are the ways I know we saved money this week:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using the McDonald’s app. I ate lunch on Wednesday and we all had breakfast on Friday. We saved at least $5 with each use.<\/li>\n
  2. Ate lunch at Costco on Friday.\u00a0 3 slices of pizza, 2 hot dogs and 3 drinks for $11.\u00a0 At least a savings of $10.<\/li>\n
  3. Grilled Hamburgers and ate a huge salad out of the fridge for dinner on Friday. By eating at home and using things we were afraid that would spoil we saved at least $35.<\/li>\n
  4. Used my Target debit card to save 5% on baby items.<\/li>\n
  5. Purchased new “winter jackets” for both Matt and I at Costco for $19.99 each. I am estimating a saving of $50 each or $100.<\/li>\n
  6. Purchased Kendall’s Christmas dress for $18.99. I am going to estimate a saving of $25 but probably more.<\/li>\n
  7. Purchased a set of new tires at Costco saving $70.<\/li>\n
  8. Washed and hung out to dry all the sheets and comforters today. Saving at least 8 hours of dryer time. Estimate of $2-4 on electricity.<\/li>\n
  9. Repurposed some hooks and a basket in the laundry room to hold lunch boxes. Saving $14.95 on the purchase of a crate for this purpose.<\/li>\n
  10. Built shelfs out of materials we already have for my she- shed. Estimate a minimum of $50 savings. I plan to share more on this soon!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
