There's some repition to saving money this week, as the ideas from previous weeks continue, but still some new ideas
#16: I am not doing this again - forgo 4 weekly dieing of overly grey streak in hair - saw hair colour for $15 (that's worth saving), then discounted at $11 (still worth saving I suppose), then discounted again at Chickfeed for $5 - but hair dresser is coming next week anyway . . . so I saved $5 and feel crap everytime I look in the mirror. Not doing that again. Will buy up a few packs of $5 colour - this is unusally cheap!
#17: Did more volunteer work for TAIKO and earned a hefty discount off my fees for a workshop this weekend - saved $50
#18: Bakery bipass - I usually spend around $8-$12 each trip - around 4 a week. The boys havent been enjoying sandwhiches and I'm not enjoying buying bakery products to replace them. But I've been cooking scrolls and cheese and bacon rolls and reduced spending at bakery to ABOUT $15 per week total. Savings this week and last - around $60
#19: Ongoing savings from reduced purchasing of drinks, egg sales, etc - around $16 for the week
#20: discovered that if I pick my boys up from child care at 4.59, rather than 5.01 I save an hour childcare or about $10 each and every week
So this week I saved $141, previously I have saved $425, making it a total of - $666 - at this rate it'll take me 6 months, which is on target for a new bathroom before xmas!
