Saved money on lunch!

August 11th, 2007 at 05:00 pm

A friend called and stoppped by to bring back a vcr tape I had loaned her.
She wanted to go out to lunch. I convinced her to eat lunch at home and put that $5 she would have spent in her ING account.
I ran to the post office to put the paperwork in the mail for selling my home depot stock.
Then I did my weekly grocery shopping; using my store card and a coupon, I saved $4. I walked a mile and did 20 flights of stairs yesterday, so that is a total of $6 to add to my challenge money. (the stock market and the braves let me down yesterday)
Prev. total $16,246.00
today 6.00
new total $16,252.00

    It's nice that you motivate your friends to save

    Ima Saver, you are one smart lady and I hope to learn more from you while I'm here. I apologize for criticizing you for eating out a lot most evenings. I see you position yourself to get to do some things you enjoy, and that's what I'd like to do, too. Friends?? I hope so!!

    Sure we are friends. Everybody has to have a little splurge. I spend almost nothing on clothes, cosmetics, getting my hair done, etc.
    My splurge is having a date out with my dh every night, usually for less than $20. However, I only spend about $20-30 at the grocery store every week, so that makes up for some of it.
