Prices seem to go up every year for just the basics.
Unfortunately, our income often doesn't match the pace
of the increase for costs of goods.
"A penny saved is a penny earned"
is something I heard very often while growing up.
So, here are a few of the ways I saved some of our pennies this week,
which in turn allows us to live comfortably on less.
I saved $22.48 this week by shopping the sale items and using coupons.
A free coffee while out shopping.
I cooked multiple items at the same time.
Supper and baking often together.
This saves electricity as the oven only has to heat up once.
I made homemade gravy instead of using a packaged mix.
The cost is pennies compared to average $1.39 per package.
How did you save money this week?

Hi Alana,
ReplyDeleteWell, this doesn't exactly fall under "household" things, but it did save a little money. I had a package to mail this week and asked for the comparison of prices between Priority and Parcel Post. If I was going to send it by parcel post I wanted delivery confirmation, but no insurance. SO...the lady obliged. Her report was I could send it Priority Mail for $10.05 and the package would arrive on Monday OR I could send it parcel post, it would arrive on Tuesday and the cost would be $10.05, PLUS the cost of the delivery confirmation (which would have been over $2). Yes...you read that correctly. I thought this was a no brainer, especially after she added that with the Priority Mail it was insured for $50 and provided me with a tracking number. Still shaking your head? lol That was a first for me! It only saved a couple of dollars, but it was still a savings!
Sometimes mail prices just make me wonder at the logic. Way to go on checking it out and finding the best price!
