I know I said I was busy at work last week, but this week showed me what busy really is. So, my money saving pursuits were really more like I was too busy to spend any money type of things. Here's what I've been up to:
- My one month free trial of Netflix was over so I canceled it. I'm happy to order what I want from the library.
- While I was placing videos on hold from the library I saw they now have audio books that are compatible with the iPod, so I canceled my audible.com subscription too. Between those two things, I saved $25 a month or $300 a year.
- I checked in on the consignment store and they sent me a check for $24. That's not terrible, but I'll do much better at the mom to mom sale in the Spring.
- I roasted my turkey and put a bunch of meals in the freezer. I'll post separately about that when I talk about the pantry challenge.
- I haven't been to the pool this week, but I did walk 5x.
- I almost have the first three chapters of my book typed to enter in this contest. The deadline is Feb. 1st. I hope I make it.
- I worked from home one day which saves $14 on parking and train fair. Working from home once a week can save me $728 a year. That's huge!
- I've been reading through a stack of library books as tall as my three year old.
Here are my goals for next week:
My goals for next week:
- Walk 4x swim 1x
- Get all of my handwritten pages typed up for the contest, and start on the proposal.
- Make pizza dough, pizza sauce and rolls for the freezer.
- Finish making Valentine's wreath for the front door.
