What small things did you do TODAY to save money?

[K-ice]

2 things.

We were recently traveling and we were notified we exceeded data usage on our phones. But we didn't actually exceed our data limit. So we called and the confirmed it was OK and we would not be charged more than $100 for roaming. Got home and they actually charged us $180. Spent a painful 50 min on the phone but got the $80 back.

Same trip, we were over charged 3 times by a hotel.  All 3 were pending and when I called VISA to complain they said just wait and try to deal with the hotel.  Emailed the hotel. 2 miraculously disappeared, and the 3rd was refunded.  But due to currency conversion we lost almost $75.  Called Visa to complain again. They are refunding the $75.       

So $155 and priceless vindication.

I'm slowly redoing my laundry room because it's not set up well, despite being a large space (5'5" x 7'7"). I was able to move the machines over and built a laundry cart to slide in between them to hold detergent/ other stuff currently on the too high shelves. A cart online that fit was in the $50- $60 range. I was friendly with the guys at Lowes so they found me some scrap wood that would fit and cut it all down for me. I had wood filler, paint and screws at home so all it cost me was the casters. Bonus: no more socks getting lost in the gaps between the machines or struggling with trying to reach the detergent on the high shelf.

This is awesome @marcela!  Good job

- Brought cold brewed coffee from home to work
- Packed my Breakfast & Lunch (have every day this year...and last year)
- We have an office party today and I will volunteer to clean up in exchange for the leftovers.
- Walked a puppy before work at ~6am +$20 (I guess this is money MADE, not SAVED?)
.... That's it so far, but it's only 8:40am, hopefully more to come! :)

[MountainGal]

On the phone with the landline company here at the office to ask why our bill increased by $50 over last month.  The rep said the old bundle program expired.  (I love their warning.  Note my sarcasm.)  Their new bundle package will put as at $10 less than we were originally paying.  We'll see.

[Megs193]

I made breakfast for my family today. And I've mostly kicked the Starbucks habit...but I am still looking for a great coffee to make at home. Any brand suggestions???

I really like the Kirkland brand Colombian coffee from Costco. I switched over from Starbucks after someone recommended it and I like it so much better.

Seconded. It’s sold in 3-lb packs of whole beans at about $5.20/lb. We grind it for drip coffee (we use a hot water kettle and pour-over carafe) and it makes very rich and flavorful coffee.

[jengod]

Saved $0.20 bringing my own mug for coffee and shopping bags to the grocery

Saved $0.25 line-drying

Saved $2 buy using slow-shipping credits to watch a family movie

This is key, IME - grinding.  If you buy the beans and grind them at home in a good burr grinder, you can get a very nice cup of coffee for very little $$.

[MaybeBabyMustache]

-Free breakfast & lunch at work
-Picked up a new book off of the freebie table
-Leftovers for dinner (we cook only on Friday/Saturday/Sunday & do leftovers during the week)
-Drove with my husband to pick up the car. He suggested an Uber, but we did the round trip in 35 minutes & saved about $20.
-Called about a discount code that dropped off an order after it was placed, & was credited $20

[OtherJen]

Pulled together a really tasty picnic dessert (lemon-berry cake) from ingredients on hand, rather than going out to buy special ingredients or a premade item.

Husband rigged up our Sodastream to a refillable CO2 tank. This plus reusable bottles means no more paying for cans of club soda or single-use CO2 cartridges.

I have a soda Sodastream machine and only use it for seltzer. How do you make club soda? Have you ever made tonic water?

You’re right, we usually make seltzer although husband has the minerals and sometimes makes mineral water and club soda. I think he found the recipe online. We haven’t done tonic water yet, but it’s on his list of things to try.

[K-ice]

Quickly pulled into a gas station that was still 10 cents cheaper than the rest of them.

Saved $3.

[Arbitrage]

Managed to keep the A/C off for all but two days of the latest heat wave.  One of the days was a bit too far gone, and the other day we had company over (plus we were home all day; it's easier to keep it off when we're gone until 5-6 pm, at which point the sea breezes have started to kick in).

Makes a big difference to conserve where I live in SoCal, since the coastal communities (I'm near-coastal) pay very high rates, subsidizing the rates for the scorchingly hot inland areas (which still have high rates, but they're given much larger electricity allowances before increasing their price tiers). 

Also, we canceled my daughter's swim class.  Didn't do it to save money, but alas, it'll save us some money until we enroll her in something new (probably not until September/October as she's already dealing with a lot of transitions right now).  We got what we needed out of it, and she wasn't enjoying it any longer. 

[JanetJackson]

- Took home leftovers at an office party as well as ate lunch at the office party and then ate my packed lunch for my dinner later that day. Score.

- Made frozen grain bags at home.  I've been buying these grain mix frozen bags at Aldi, but they're $2.50-$3 each.  They have a mix of grains and veggies that can serve as a base for a protein and make a whole meal.  I made Orzo, Quionoa, White Rice, Black Rice, Chopped Spinach, onions, and carrots and sautéed them all together with a veggie broth I'd made from scratch a few weeks back (the last jar, was about to go bad, PHEW).  It cost about $5 and made six large backs that will make two meal bases each.  I froze them flat.


- Reused plastic grocery store bags for the dogs that I walk through Rover before and after work.


- Refilled both of my water bottles before I left work each day this week.  We have a well and it keeps getting rainwater saturated.  I rent, so I can't really do anything about it.  S0..... I have to buy water to drink (it's ok to bathe in etc.)... If I fill me water bottles at work that usually gets me through the evening until I'm back at work the next morning.


- Worked on my Capsule Wardrobe yesterday.  I made an inventory list and packed up 3 bags to give away.  When I'm done with the project/it goes into maintenance mode, it will help me with decision fatigue, will stock my wardrobe with more classic well-made/longer lasting clothing, and will get me down to about 50 pieces of clothing (counting shoes, bags, belts, etc. - everything but unders).... this will free up closet space in my very small apartment.  I could use that space to flip craigslist items (store them in there in the meantime), buy more grocery items in bulk (I usually have trouble with this with only one normal sized cabinet in the kitchen (you should SEE the weird stuff I have stored in the fridge), or who knows what?  I'm excited about this one.  One interesting thing I discovered while doing this?  I do not own a dress.  Not even one.  Ha.

[MountainGal]

Our Walmart Savings Catcher is now up to $8.09!  Not bad for DINKS....

Picked up a penny over the weekend.

Didn't stop for fast food on the way home from the big city yesterday, and stopped for a water, cheese stick and small bag of nuts at the C store on the way home.  Savings approx $8.  Ideally, I would have had an extra protein bar stashed in my bag instead, but I need to restock on payday.

Saved .03/gal at the pump using my value card.  Savings $0.59.

Still waiting for the credit to be put back on our office LL bill.  The CSR said to check it in a few days, which it's been.  I'll check again tomorrow....

[Dianalou]

Brought my lunch
Made approx $10 on ibotta and Checkout 51 offers when buying snacks for work
Combined trips downtown to go to the library and bank on the way to pick up kids from daycare

Non-mustachian - buying some new running shoes today at the local runner shop. I could get them online or delay longer but I like supporting the local business, and standing at markets and craft fairs in the old ones is starting to hurt my  back!

[Hirondelle]

My younger brother visited me last night and he paid the groceries so that I would cook him dinner.

[Trifele]

Took lunch to work as usual.

Used my beginner hypermiling techniques on my commute (easy on the throttle, thoughtful use of acceleration, coasting when able, etc.) to improve gas mileage.  I have figured I save $0.45 per day on my commute by doing this.   

[JanetJackson]

- Collected eggs from the hens on the farm I live on (rent) and hardboiled them for meals this weekend.

- Continued to use my little Panda style washer/spin dryer instead of bartering for laundry or going to a laundry mat (my least favorite place in the universe).  I've had it for about 6 months now and LOVE IT.

- Did not stop for to-go coffee even though I was nearly nodding at the wheel.  Cracked the windows and blared the radio the 8 more miles home and made a direct path to the cold brew in my fridge when I got home.  Ha.

[middo]

Cut my hair.  I bought a good set of clippers for about $60 a few years ago now, probably about 60 haircuts ago.  $1 haircuts?  Yes please.

[Hula Hoop]

When we were caught in a downpour on the way home from the pool, I didn't buy a cheap umbrella or rain poncho from the Bangladeshi guy who appeared out of nowhere selling them.  Instead, I made scootering home in the rain a fun game for my 6 year old. 

[MaybeBabyMustache]

-Dinner from the freezer last night
-Made muffins using overly ripe bananas
-Made hummus from extra cilantro & a few garden jalapenos
-Made chocolate chip cookies for a lunch we're having this afternoon

[Arbitrage]

Called and had my car insurance adjusted for biking to work.  Will save close to $200/year. 
Wanted a hamburger last night, but did just fine by eating a sandwich and some leftovers.

[OtherJen]

I made the mistake of grocery shopping for a few essentials on an empty stomach but managed to stick to my list and not buy a tasty frozen curry meal. When I got home, lunch comprised leftovers.

[11ducks]

Chose a nearby botanic garden festival as our weekend activity, for a gold coin donation we had a wonderful morning wandering through the gardens, saw lots and lots of flying foxes and beautiful plants, and they were giving away local native plants - we got a Callistemon (bottlebrush) and a Syzygium (lilly pilly) which will flower and attract birds, along with a native grass - they even let us pot them and gave us reusable bags to take them home in! We are looking to add to our garden and these will be perfect.

[jengod]

it is lovely summer, so harvested tomatoes and chives from the garden for dinner

[MaybeBabyMustache]

-Had friends over for lunch yesterday, and served things we already had on hand. Kept it very simple, but everyone was happy. Served homemade chocolate chip cookies at the end, which were a big hit.
-Used a food delivery coupon. Which, isn't money saving, but a good reminder for why I don't ever use these services. I was at home alone with the kids, and we rarely go out, so I'd promised we could look at the menu. Even with the free delivery & a $10 off coupon, it was way more than I'd planned on spending. We do have leftovers, but I'll chalk that up to "lesson learned." The kids are sweet, and understand that it's expensive. I did say no to ordering dessert, and we made popcorn & watched movies instead.

[Mezzie]

Deleted things from my Amazon cart that I don't actually need.

[JanetJackson]

OMG I looked the other day and I have closed to 200 "saved" items... meaning I put them in my cart, then changed my mind/talked myself out of it and then still had enough interest in them to save them instead of deleting them.
It's unmanageable at this point to go through and delete each and every one.  Ha.  Apparently I like to imagine I can buy those things.

- Stopped myself from buying an energy drink at the gas station.  I'm SO TIRED this morning and had two dog walks (my side hustle) before work, which means I had to start my day around 4am.  I remembered I had some of those Aldi brand energy drinks in the fridge for an "exhaustion emergency" (aka at least once a week, sadly) and slammed one of those instead for about $0.50 vs. $3.00.


- Did not eat breakfast, but ate leftovers from a work party last week instead.  They were a little bit stale, but whatever, somewhat healthy, free... I needed some fiber, fat, and calories... it doesn't have to be an amazing meal every time.

- Harboiled a ton of farm eggs before they went bad.  Now I'll have eggs to crumble on top of all of my meals this week to up the protein.


- Installed a water filter on my kitchen sink that my landlord paid for.  They insist it will filter out the sediment and make the water drinkable.  Hopefully now I can stop buying jugs of spring water.  We've had SO much rain that our well has been saturated and the water kinda yellowy for about a month now.  It seems ok to bathe and do dishes in, etc.  But I have not been drinking it nor giving it to my dog to drink.  I go through about a gallon a day, and at $0.60/Gallon, it's been more than I wanted to spend

Where do you buy gallon jugs of water for $0.60 a gallon? The cheapest I have seen around here is $0.89 a gallon. We buy bottled water to put in our coffee machine. My water is super hard and ruins coffee makers if I don't use bottled water.

[MaybeBabyMustache]

@Roadrunner53 - can you install a water filter? May be a more economical long term solution. We have terribly hard water, and had a filter installed when we moved in.

-As for us, we made dinner at home (taco quesadillas for the kids, because they asked for a "new" version of taco leftovers). We also drove to the airport to pick up my husband vs having him take an uber. Drove our electric car.
-My husband won $5k in a tournament, so that was not small, but a fun thing to celebrate last night

[Roadrunner53]

We do have a Cuno water filter in the basement where the water comes in the house from the well. However, as far as I know that filter is for filtering out sand from the well. Not sure what type of filter would take out the hard water particles.

[MaybeBabyMustache]

@Roadrunner53 - if you search on Amazon, they have sink side filters for hard water. They connect under the kitchen sink & then have a little tap that you put on the side. https://www.amazon.com/Under-Sink-Countertop-Filtration-Cartridge-Water-Softeners/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A13397611%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A3836908011

It does take up some under sink space (we have our garbage can on the side of the counter vs under the sink), but it's worth it. May want to check one out.

[thisisjeopardy]

I just received a renewal for an American Express card and I owe $50 membership fee. I have not used this card in years and want to call and cancel it but have heard it affect your credit rating. Is this true and why would credit be affected by getting rid of a credit card? My credit rating is way, way up there so I am not really that concerned. Anyone have advice?

I churn CCs for bonuses and close them out all the time. Some credit nerds will shriek in horror when reading this, but my FICOs are high 760s. Yeah, I'll never reach 800, but I'll get the same prime rates as anyone with an 800+ score but I won't be paying annual fees on multiple cards.

[JanetJackson]

The Aldi near my work has them for $0.60, the other Aldi is $0.69 I think.  There's also a Food Lion (awful grocery store otherwise) on my route home from work that always has one of the store brands knocked down to $0.65.

I never thought about hard water ruining coffee makers, but I've lived in so many places and in some.. my coffee makers were ruined after living there for some time.  Interesting!

You list your only reason to by water for coffee as financial. I can buy a $20 coffee maker any day of the week. With time, I can get a used, higher quality one at Goodwill for $7.

Are you claiming you can only get 23 pots of coffee before your hard water ruins a coffeemaker? Really? Less than 1 month?

We also have hard water. Our makers still last years. Just run a few cups of vinegar through the maker(pass it through 2 times in a row), then run 2 pots of water and discard.

Vinegar is also a great general cleaner.  It'll also help to keep the coffee maker clean (in addition to removing the hard water buildup).

- I was so dang tired on my commute home last night that I had resigned myself to allowing myself to eat out for lunch today at work Vs. putting together some meals + snacks (I eat a lot of little things throughout the day and am often gone for 12+ hours).  By the time I got home I decided I could power through.  I set a timer for 20 minutes, and promised myself I would only do what fit in that 20m... and packed my lunch, did my chores, set out my clothes for work, and took a shower.  Yay!  Go me!


- Brought homebrewed coffee with almond milk to work with me Vs. store/cafe bought.


- Figured out a way to work one of my personal errands in to one of my work errands so that I won't have to make an extra trip.  Work is ok with this.


- Started shopping on Tire Rack dot com as I know I need new tires soon (and I used to be that person who would just go until one blew out (scary, always), throw a donut on it for a few days, and THEN solve the problem, but that's too stressful, I'm getting ahead of it this time!)… Also spoke to the mechanic at our fleet vehicle shop at work so that I'll be able to use that shop at a discounted rate to put the tires on when they arrive.

It's 38 C outside today, we've had extremely hot and dry weather for more than a month now. My local supermarket is clearing out their socks and underwear isle to make space for the next season's collection (yes, there is such a thing as sock fashion ... apparantly) and the prices are always extremely low. Normally the most common sizes sell out in a very short time, but when it's 38 C outside, no one thinks about buying socks for the upcoming autumn / winter. I bought 7 new pairs of socks for €3 :) 

Plus, due to the weather we haven't had a proper hot meal in days. It's just too hot to prepare any food and we're living off sandwiches and fruit. This saves a bit of money.

[MaybeBabyMustache]

We had a terrible spending day, because my husband made an error in a flight purchase. It took, no joke, almost $1k to fix it. Unfortunately, this is not his first super expensive mistake this year. So, our "wins" below, come nowhere near offsetting that snafu.

-Drove our electric car to work
-Free breakfast & lunch (work)
-Carpooled with another mom for camp drop off & pickup, cutting commute in 1/2.

[clarkai]

Made pesto pasta from basil in my yard for everyone, instead of eating out.

[Imma]

Bought a large amount of really cheap green beans, cleaned, parboiled and froze them. Hopefully this will be the last year of buying beans, I want to harvest my own next year!

Found a 10% off code for the bus tickets we're buying to visit a friend this weekend. Tickets are only €8, but every little bit helps. We are encouraging the friends to select activities that are not too spendypants, but with these friends I'm not sure.

[marion10]

Went to State Fair- bought discount tickets ahead of time for $8 each.
Made two salads for lunch- all from leftovers.
Made tomato sauce from free tomatoes my sister gave me.
Plan to have eggs in purgatory (eggs in tomato sauce) for dinner, also from free eggs from my sister.
Got $2.16 for doing google surveys.

[Gladis]

Scored 2 free tickets to wonderworks in orlando (I don't recommend this place.)  Then looked up how much it was to park (10 bucks!) and proceeded to park 2 blocks away for free.

Enjoyable free day with my son, if I dont count the gas spent.

I handle all of our family travel, plus my work travel bookings & personal travel (e.g. just me, or just me + the kids), but my husband has been on his own for trips that just involve him. . . I don't disagree with you.

[okisok]

About a month ago I started a new job that I can walk/ride my bike to. I've only driven twice in that time--once on my first day when I wasn't sure of the bike parking/walking safety situation, and today for an off-site training. I still rode with another attendee to the lunch.

Lunch was paid for, and I got enough to carry out for lunch tomorrow of a delicious and healthy meal. Packaged snacks were also provided, so I had some there and brought one home for later. I brought my metal water bottle and refilled it throughout the day.

On the way home I stopped and did a work-related errand for my boss that thrilled him and saved him a separate trip. I was even able to drop off the items to him at our location the same day so he didn't have to wait. It wasn't even one block out of my way, so wins all around!

I talked myself out of making a salon appointment, and just cut my own fingernails and polished my toenails. No one cares but me, as long as they aren't jagged or covered in chipped polish. My CEO doesn't even 'do' her nails, why should I?

Another plus of this position is that the work attire is decidedly more casual and machine-wash than my last position. I'm not required to wear a blazer or pantyhose or high heels. Easier on my body and my dry cleaning budget! I spent the first two weeks in the back warehouse-type area where I didn't see clients, so got to wear very casual clothes, some of which were provided by the company.

Best part? I get two meals a day provided AND a $150/month meal allowance!! My grocery budget is decidedly different than the previous month!! It's not always the healthiest options, but I try to pick and choose or have smaller portions of the carb-heavy items. Breakfast is at home and is usually a piece of fruit or leftovers from a previous meal, then lunch and dinner are provided. Gotta love less shopping, cooking, and cleanup!

[Raenia]

Lots of free food at work today:
 - Coworker brought white peaches from the tree in her yard and was passing them around.  I must have looked very enthusiastic, because she offered to bring me a bag of them later in the week, next time she picks.  I'll make canned peaches with whatever she brings me (less a few for eating, of course!)
 - Another coworker brought in a leftover fruit salad and left it in the breakroom.  People do that a lot with food they want to get rid of, but it's usually cake or candy.  Having fruit was a nice change.
 - Work has started free fruit Wednesdays at the cafeteria, usually bananas and oranges
 - Work is having an ice cream truck this afternoon, free ice cream!

[mxmoney]

Yesterday:

- Resisted buying a perfume I really wanted just because it was a good deal
- Made dinner out of leftover rotisserie chicken and leftover cabbage (tacos! yum!)
- Resisted stopping for fast food on the way home from dance class even though I was famished

Today:
- Was going to go to the grocery store after the gym for a snack but it was closed, so yay!
- Free donuts at work!
- Brought whatever food I could find around the house instead of going out for lunch
- Hopefully more as the day continues!

[MountainGal]

~Brought the usual coffee, breakfast, lunch and snacks to work today.
~Going to carpool to a function 1.5 hours away this evening.  The ticket, which includes dinner, cost a bit, but is tax deductible.  I brought my clothes to change into rather than driving 15+ minutes home to do so.
~Still haven't seen the credit for the office LL change-in-services-without-me-knowing snafu, so I'll call before making the payment next week.
~DH has started harvesting our garden.  So far it's produced 2 yellow squash, an eggplant, 2 cherry tomatoes, and a ton of herbs.  He said 3 more eggplants, 2 squash, and jalapenos are nearly ready.
