Each week, I’m listing the frugal things that we’re doing in our household, both to hold myself accountable and to perhaps give you some ideas. For more ideas, visit Jennifer @ Getting Ahead.
- While at my in-laws last weekend, my father-in-law cut my husband’s and the boys’ hair, saving us a trip to the barber.
- Got some good deals at Walgreens, Rite Aid, and CVS.
- I had filled a prescription in November (11/08), and the medicine was expiring 2/09, so I went back to CVS, and they gave me another bottle for free.
- I earned enough money from several survey sites for a payout, so I should get a few checks in the next couple of weeks.
- My cash-only experiment for extras is going well…only 2 more days to go this month! I’m all out of money for now, but it shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll write more about this later.
- I shopped at Kroger this week (I don’t usually go there), and I saved $0.20 for using my own cloth shopping bags.
- I invited several of my 5 year old’s friends over for playdates this week, saving the money that would have been spent meeting them someplace else.
- I got some freebies in the mail…
