OK, so its week 2 of trying to claw back $$ spent on the pet surgery. I've genuinely reduced spending in these areas
tip #6 - handbag in airport shop - half price, down to $100 and I do need a new handbag, my current one is held together with electricians tape. I am considering the plurchase, and my mother whispers in my ear "dont forget about your poor little cat". I put it down and walk away. $100 saved. As my friend Anitra says, 'truely noble'.
tip #7 - needed after school care last Friday, put out a facebook plee, and children looked after by dear friend. Not sure what I saved, maybe $30?
tip #8 - new batteries for toys - pulled out batteries from toys not currently being used, saved maybe $10
tip #9 - Mercury newspaper currently has $2 wildlife DVD's, 2 are free the rest you buy. Something stirs in my memory . . . . I look in the back of the DVD cupboard and find not 1, but 2 sets of wildlife DVD's purchased for child 1 and 2. Child 3 has not seen. So I buy nothing and save $20 or so
tip #10 - need new shampoo and conditioner for the gym bag. Found heaps of old half empty bottles at back of cupboard, also some bottles from various hotels/motels, soap too. So now I dont need to buy any for a while. Saved about $20
Tips 6-10 - saved around $180 + the $150 from tips 1-5 - so $330 saved at this point :)
