-- DH and I biked to and from church yesterday. Saved gas and a bus pass or two (we have one vehicle and he arrives much, much earlier than I do, so typically I would bus it) It's 10 miles round trip, so we got a bit of a workout too.
-- Used several dog bags from the rolls our apartment complex provides rather than our own. Its 6 cents a bag saved!
-- Walked around a neighborhood festival yesterday, and didn't feel like waiting in the super long lines for food. Swung by the grocery store on the way home instead. Bought needed groceries rather than buying tacos/pizza/burgers out.
-- Our two nieces are out of state and have birthdays within a few weeks of each other. I had previously bought easy to ship gifts, but today I wrapped them in leftover brown packaging paper, stuck the pretty cards directly to the paper as decoration (and to label each gift), and then slipped those two packages into a larger box for shipping. Only paid one shipping charge rather than two, and I'm confident I saved at least 5-6 dollars that way. Also spent almost no money on wrap as the wrapping supplies were free and the cards were part of a bulk box years ago.
-- Used the screen door on the balcony this morning and cooled the house with morning air. Shut it when the house finally reached 78 degrees and the AC kicked on.
-- Realized that the Ace Hardware a block and a half from our apartment sells grain free dog food that we have used in the past. Previously, we had been buying a more expensive brand from a pet store a short drive away, because grain free/chicken free is hard to find. Walked to pick up the dog food and brought along a 10.00 off coupon we had received in the mail. Instead of 80.00 on dog food this month, we spent less than 40.00! Although I did have to drag a giant bag of dog food a block and a half home ....LOL.
-- DH wanted to grill chicken tonight, but wanted a marinade. Rather than go to the store, I made a homemade teriyaki marinade. Turned out delicious!
