Viewing the '$20 Challenge' Categorycoin jarDecember 5th, 2012 at 06:21 pmI took my coin jar to the bank yesterday! I have one and so does dh. I keep mine counted, so I know how much went to dh. I also saved $7 using my Ingles advantage card, so I have a total of $47 to add to the challenge. Christmas lightsDecember 2nd, 2012 at 08:34 pmDh worked most of the day today putting up the christmas lights. Our neighbor put some up this weekend but he left them on all night! I am too frugal for that. We put our lights on a timer so that they come on about dark and turn off at 9 pm. Chase checkNovember 29th, 2012 at 09:35 pmI ordered my chase rewards check the other day. It use to be that you ordered the checks in increments of $50 each time. Now, you can order whatever your point rewards total is. Today, I got a check for $76, I also got a dollar bill in the mail and have $2 for yesterday's no use gas day! A total of $79 for the $20 challenge! $6 for miracle whip???November 28th, 2012 at 06:48 pmI have always been a mayonaise user but my dh loves only miracle whip. He takes his lunch to work every day and has for 35 years. He has been eating ham sandwiches a lot lately (cause of the thanksgiving left over ham.) He ran out of his miracle whip. I could not believe that a jar has gone up to almost $6. I knew groceries were high, but that is rediculous. Dinner out!November 24th, 2012 at 08:58 pmWe went out to dinner last night to celebrate my birthday. Even with a nice tip of $6 plus, we only spent $30. It was our first time out in over a month and we really enjoyed it. Free turkeyNovember 23rd, 2012 at 07:53 pmI got my free turkey today at Ingles. It feels like a birthday present. When you spend $50 a week in groceries for 6 weeks, they give their customers a free turkey. It was worth about $17. Large rebate!November 15th, 2012 at 07:54 pmThe building supply store that we do business with, use to send me a rebate check every few months. A few months ago, they started a new system. We can take the rebate money off of our balance if we pay off the balance by the 10th of the month. Grocery savingsNovember 14th, 2012 at 10:26 pmI did my grocery shopping yesterday. by using my advantage carad, I was able to save $20 which was added to the $20 challenge. No use gasNovember 14th, 2012 at 08:40 pmI had two no use gas days in a row, both Sunday and Monday. I will add $4 to the challenge money! Pinecone checkNovember 9th, 2012 at 09:31 pmI got a pinecone check in the mail today from a survey I took last week. They also sent me a free product to try out, so I will get another check in a week or two. Another nice check in the mailNovember 8th, 2012 at 08:54 pmI got a nice check in the mail today from Edward Jones. It reflects an accumalation of dividends on stock I own thru their company. Of course , it gets added to the challenge. no use gas day!November 8th, 2012 at 04:35 pmFinally, I had a no use gas day, so $2 more to the $20 challenge. Gosh, it is so dark out!November 6th, 2012 at 10:04 pmIt is only 5 pm. but it is getting so dark outside. I do not like the time change! rebateNovember 2nd, 2012 at 05:55 pmThe building supply that we do business with, gives us a rebate. Usually it is in the form of a check and we get the check randomly. Happy Halloween!October 31st, 2012 at 07:10 pmHappy Halloween to everyone. It is one of my favorite holidays cause we are usually invited to a party. I love to get dressed up. But, no party this year. The people that usually have it, have their house up for sale now. Gas has come down a bit!October 26th, 2012 at 09:16 pmI stopped and bought gas today. Regular has come down to $3.49 a gallon. I find that regular works in this corvette just fine, but it did not in my 2004 corvette. I had 2 no use gas days this week, Monday and Thursday. That means I have $4 to add to my challenge. ($2 a day every time I stay home) electric is under budget!October 25th, 2012 at 06:50 pmI kept my electric bill under $100 this ast month. That means I am $60 under budget which can be added to my $20 challenge fund. 2 more months!October 25th, 2012 at 03:27 pmToday is October 25th, just two more months til christmas. Are you ready!! I am not, but we have cut way back on christmas in the past few years. I only buy for my hubby. I give the granddaughters each a check so they can buy what they want! my usual checkOctober 24th, 2012 at 09:10 pmMy usual check came into the bank today (social security) I always save it and transfer it to my ING savings account. Of course, I also add it to the $20 challenge. Grocery savingsOctober 24th, 2012 at 06:24 pmI always stock up on sprite when it is on sale. Sprite zero is our mixer of choice for our evening cocktails, so I got 4-12 packs for $3 each. My grand total on my advantage card was $12 savings which I am adding to my challenge money. Over on deposit!October 21st, 2012 at 08:41 pmMy last deposit Friday had $20 too much in it! So, I am adding this $20 bill to my $20 challenge.

Free gas!October 11th, 2012 at 08:57 pmDh bought some paint at home depot over labor day and the maker of the paint was offering a rebate. I signed up for it and received a home depot debit card for $10. I just used it to get $10 worth of free gas. $10 worth of gas is not very much gas, but heck it was free! ING interestOctober 10th, 2012 at 01:29 pmI got interest on my ING account on October. It amounted to $38 which I will add to my challenge money.

Back to the challenge!October 9th, 2012 at 10:18 pmI have missed 9 days now on the $20 challenge. I need to make up time! In my grocery shopping last week I saved $9 using my advantage card. Good bye Chipper!September 30th, 2012 at 10:14 pmToday was Chipper Jones' last day to play in a regular game in Atlanta. 20 years with the same team. His parents were there to watch him play.
