25 Simple Ways We Saved This Week
1.) We stayed home.
Yep, very simple. We did not participate in shopping online or in store the day after Christmas
2.) We created a paycheck by paycheck budget for 2016, beginning with the check we received on Christmas (we get paid bi-weekly). My wonderful hubby even created a spreadsheet to update as I change the numbers when bill amounts fluctuate. (Saving me a huge amount of time doing math each month.)
3.) We were blessed with perishable groceries from an unusual source.
We have a family friend leaving for a short family visit and they asked if we wanted to consume their perishables while they were gone. Of course! A gallon of milk, some fresh, crisp apples and other assorted items means we saved at least $10 we would otherwise have spent on perishables this week.
4.) We joined and uploaded receipts to Receipt Hog.
We earned 280 coins by uploading this week’s receipts (for any store), filling in our information, playing a free “pull” and confirming our email. If you would like to earn free money that can be cashed in for PayPal or Amazon Gift Cards, I suggest you sign up too. If you use this code SKAN9388 when you sign up, we will both receive a free “spin”. ( My first spin earned me 14 coins towards those gift cards). I figure I already spent the money at the store, a few extra minutes to upload the receipt is worth the gift cards at the end of the year.

As many of you know my oldest daughter and I are unable to work “regular” 9-5 jobs due to our health issues and the need to be with my youngest, who has even more extreme health issues, so to compensate we have added some “side jobs” we can do from home, a hospital room or even my family’s when we are visiting.
Because we began our new direct sales business with Clever Container and my youngest had some major setbacks we spent VERY little time on “side jobs” but we still earned a bit.
