Saved $30 at Walmart last night!

January 15th, 2007 at 08:26 am

In a way we saved $30 at Walmart last night as a result of using this website and finally starting to pay close attention to our everyday spending habits!
I found a blanket on the clearance isle marked down to $20 from $36 that I put in my basket. Hubby was kind enough to talk me out of it reminding me we have lots of blankets at home and since we live in South Texas how much do we really need blankets anyway!!!!
He talked himself out of two magazines (his absolute downfall) at a tune of $10. So we really came home $30 richer because normally we would have let each other have our "indulgences" just so we could get what we thought we wanted.
I am getting the hang of this now. Scary thought!
Hubby wanted to make a trip to Walmart Sat. night just for deoderant! Reminded him he could just wait until we went the next day and save the gas money.
Bought gas at Walmart saving 3 cents per gallon after putting money on the card and paying for it with the chase card and earning rewards that way too!
Very, very good.
Rolled the rest of the coins for a grand total of $111.00 more or less.
Will have the actual total when I take it to the bank and open a savings account.

Found a great website - answer to prayers!

Finally found what I have been looking for, praying for, help I need to get started saving money. Need this sort of daily reminder for trying to save and why I'm trying to save and actually saving some money.
Been too long a spender and wondered why we never had any money left over. Always spent everything we had. Wanted to live like the rich people live. HA!

Fianlly got around to rolling the coins we have had in the jars for so many years now.
Will take it to the bank and open a savings account on Tuesday after Martin Luther King holiday.
