With $650 to save before I meet my target I wanted to think up a few new ways over the next few weeks. Here's what I came up with.
#66 - dont you love fresh flowers! I decided it would be a lovely thing to have in the house so I popped around the garden, into the bush, over the fence (not stealing) and came up with a lovely bunch of native flowers that are bright and cheerful and havent set off anyone's hay fever
Saved $13 last week, and I'll do it again this week - so thats $26
#67 - I'm off on a 2 day conference in a few weeks time and as I bought my discount tickets a few things happened - the price kept going up - extra baggage i didnt want, extra insurance i didnt want . . . it added up to an extra $30 / flight. So that's $60 saved, because I didnt want / or need it. I also saved $8.50 by using direct debit rather that credit. But when the direct debit info did not come through I used my credit card before my flight on 'hold' was released - and yipee for me - no $8.50 charge :). $8.50 just to use my credit card on an $85 flight!! Seriously! so that's $68.50!
#68 - another made lunch on a mega busy day - Saved $10
#69 - bypass the bakery, dont buy any takeway drinks - $27
#70 - more than anything I'm far too busy - missed bikrum x 2 this week - saved $32 - but did make it to spin x2 @ no charge cos that membership is given to me as part of my job :)
So this week I saved $163.50 - off my balance of $650 - $$496.50 to go
