I have found that if I am not in NEED of something, I do not go to yard sales, auctions, dept. stores or the groc. store---I can save the gas money and not be tempted to purchase something that I really do not need..EVEN if it is a great buy!
I have started dropping all the change from any purchase in the bottom of my purse and I scoop up any change dh leaves on the counter. I place it in a vase. Last month, I had 33$, month before I had 27$... I used it for gas.. I wrapped it and took it in to the bank.. It seemed nice to have that little extra that is always laying around or weighing too much in my bag! And it wasn't missed at all..
I use the line for drying clothes, I turn out the lights, tv when not in use. I found several old alarm clocks in the 'stuff' my mom had before she died. Some are battery and some are wind up but that's ok... I unplugged all the electric clocks. We use rechargable batteries..
Great ideas--hope it will continue each month...Dixie
