Viewing the '$20 Challenge' CategoryCancelled LunchJanuary 14th, 2006 at 08:00 amI just did my grocery shopping and with my advantage card, I saved $6.42. I also was supposed to meet with a group for lunch, but because it snowed, it got cancelled. I would have spent at least $5 ($3 for a burger and $2 for a tip), so I am adding that to my total, for a grand total of $11.42. I am putting that in with my challange money. ING InterestJanuary 13th, 2006 at 08:00 amI stayed home from town today , thereby saving $1 in gas money. I got my ING statment and I got $9.22 in interest for the quarter, for a total of $10,22 today. Old Slot MachineJanuary 12th, 2006 at 08:00 amWell, I did not come up with anyway to add to my challenge money today, but I did remember that the old slot machine out in the garage has a box of nickels in the back of it. So I brought them in and dumped them in my change jar. There must have been a few dollars worth in the box. Fixer Upper JobJanuary 11th, 2006 at 08:00 amI talked my husband into taking a fixer upper job for an old customer and I got the check today. It was for $194.00 so I have cashed it and am adding that to my stash. I have already put the other money in my interest paying account so it will earn interest, but I am keeping track of my challenge money on paper. Extra MoneyJanuary 9th, 2006 at 08:01 amOk, I just cashed my husband's paycheck, did my budget envelopes and have $100 extra left over besides my regular savings. I am going to add that to my challange money. No AdditionsJanuary 9th, 2006 at 08:00 amWell I have not added a thing the past two days. I had better get busy. Grocery Store Advantage cardJanuary 7th, 2006 at 08:00 amToday I went to the grocery store and used my advantage card. I saved $2.16/ Changing CoinsJanuary 6th, 2006 at 08:00 amI stayed home yesterday, so saved a dollar in gas money. today, i took my change to the change machine at my bank and got $98.00, so that is $99 to add to my total. Extra MoneyJanuary 5th, 2006 at 08:00 amOk, I just sat and paid all the 10th of the month bills. I had $40 left over in my telephone and car payment accts., so i will add that to my total. Wheat PenniesJanuary 4th, 2006 at 08:00 amWell, I did not add any more money today, but while searching for things to sell, I found an old bag of wheat pennies. I don't think they are worth more than a penny each, but I will take them to the bank to be counted. Sold Some StuffJanuary 3rd, 2006 at 08:00 amI have been thinking about having a garage sale this spring. But I decided to get rid of a few items by advertising them locally, on a site called blairsville.com. I put them on this afternoon and within 5 minutes I sold them for $30. When I met the girl at the store to deliver them, I saved another dollar buying some sprite on sale. Total of $31 for the day. Previous total $25.44 DrivingJanuary 2nd, 2006 at 08:00 amOk, I figure out that if I don't drive to town each day, (which I like to do cause I am bored), I save about $1 in gas money. Town is about a ten mile round trip and I get about 20 miles per gallon, so I use about 1/2 gallon to go to town and back. I pay over $2 a gallon, so I am saving $1. Not much, but I did not go to town today, so I am adding that dollar. Challenge StartJanuary 1st, 2006 at 08:00 amOk, I have started with my $20. I went grocery shopping today and saved $4.44 by using my Ingles Advantage card, so I have put that in a container and now have $24.44. This might be fun. I am not going to count buying things on sale when I don't really need them, but a $7 roast for just a little over $3 is a pretty good buy.
