have saved over $1,000 in 7 weeks!! See how here!

Well its week #7 and the cat is looking well.  Still there are more savings to be found in the weekly budget with a few new ideas

#30 - kids school photos, usually I buy the value pack but this year just the class photo (its not like we dont have a whole heap of photos of our kids!)  Saves $22

#31 - MYO Pizza tonight - saves us about $40.  It's the last futsal game tonight and we are going to MACCAS for an icecream - strictly icecream - simple, easy, fun, cheap!

#32 - We will have to wait to see if this is fully realised - but if Fraser wins the karate colouring in competition there is a months free training for a prize.  That'll save us about $100 atm, so Fraser - get your pencils out.  He is fully into this - as we have bribed him to enter the comp - normally we wouldnt worry about it !!  I wont put this saving down unless it gets realised . . . .

#33 - bakery bipass, eggs sold and soft drinks not purchased, early pick up from childcare, spot in my ante natal class filled early - $88 or there abouts :)

#34 - bought something to replace something I lost, then I found it BEFORE losing the receipt, $6 back in the bank!

# 35 - staying at a friends over the weekend, up north, to save on accomodation costs - we have to go up for karate tournament for Fraser - I wont add the saving of around $150 because we are really looking forward to seeing them.  I might cook up a dish to take so they dont suggest we go out for tea (that rarely costs us less than $100).  Sneaky eh - I'm getting good at this!!

So, counting savings from points 30, 31, 33 and 34 - $156 + $904 (from the last 6 weeks)

Savings so far - over $1,000 - $1,060 to be exact!
