Inflation is on everyone's mind these days, including my own. My Thrifty Thursday series will be an accountability series on what I have done to save money this week or ways I have made extra money this week.
Saving on Things I have Bought
- Saved a few planned clothing and shoe purchases on my wish list and bought those during the Nordstrom Sale and Prime Days.
- Found some motion sickness medicine on clearance at the grocery store; I planned to buy it for an upcoming trip.
- Cooked all dinners at home this week.
- Used a gift card to purchase a coffee maker on sale to replace our current machine that's on the fritz.
- Used a $5 off $50 purchase coupon at the grocery store to purchase groceries this week. Every little bit adds up.
Avoiding Spending
- Filled my online cart full of garden seeds and decided not to check out. I am not currently planting and do not have a current need for seeds.
- Borrowed a copy of Where the Crawdads Sing from the library to read.
- Minimized extra driving by consolidating errands; a tank of gas has been lasting 2 weeks!
Earning Money
- Scanned all receipts into Ibotta and Fetch to maximize rewards.
- Sold a pair of pajamas on Ebay.
Eating What we Have On Hand
- Discovered a bag of frozen cranberries in the freezer from Thanksgiving, so I made Keto Cranberry Bars for dessert over the weekend. They were amazing!
- Use some tenderized steak from the freezer and peppers from the garden to make fajitas one evening for dinner.
- Picked fresh okra from the garden and used green beans from the freezer to round out dinner sides for other evenings.
How have you saved money this week?
