Money Saving Challenge - 5/27

I was so busy doing Super Dollar Doubles at Basha's today that I really didn't do but a few other things to save money. But here they are:


1. Breakfast was cereal, juice and coffee for DH. I just had a granola bar and coffee because I was in a hurry to get shopping.


2. Made 2 trips to Bashas after pulling some coupons and grabbing my coupon binder which I took with me.


3. Washed one load of clothes in cold water on off peak hours using the minimum of laundry detergent that my DIL gave me before they moved. I hung them to dry before I went out.


4. I plan on making bread tomorrow in the bread machine so I put all the dry ingredients in a container so I can do that quickly in the morning.


5. Lunch was cheese and crackers.


6. Did some online research today on how to save money by switching Cable TV and/or internet carriers. I have not decided if I am going to do that yet.


7. Received $20.00 in Rebates in the mail.


8. Dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow cost us $ 1.09! I saw on the Pinching Your Pennies Forums which is here:

http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/ on the Arizona forum that I could sign up on Papa John's site and if I was one of the first 2500 to do so that I would receive a code in my e-mail to order a Large One Topping Pizza for $ 1.00 plus tax. The deal is only good today. I signed up in time and recieved the code. I ordered online and since Papa John's is only 1 block away, I opted to pick it
up so only paid $ 1.00 plus $ .09 in tax! This was a great deal! I can't make a pizza for that price. So the chicken salad that we were going to have has been pushed off until tomorrow.


9. Tonight, we will be swimming in the pool and afterwards I will be reading for entertainment.
