A few wins this week, as we head towards the end of year!
Saving on things we buy
- Stopped by CVS to pick up some vitamins & travel face wash (for the NZ trip) & used a $1 off a purchase, my $10 rewards, and then a 10% off a full price item coupon. All together I saved $13 or so.
- I used a $250 credit card reward (good for only certain shops) to buy Sam Airpods for Christmas (his request), for $21 out of pocket.
Earning money
- Cashed out $42 on Rakuten
- Received a settlement for $.61 - with the cost of stamps, I'd rather they had skipped me & given someone else an actual $1. ;-)
- Sold sunglasses on eBay & made $17
- I made $114 using a credit card reward.
Avoiding spending
- I received Southwest A list status matching with my credit card, which saves me about $60 on an upcoming flight, as I won't need to pay for early boarding. To be fair, paying for early boarding is never a "must do", but I really like to know I have room on board for my bag, and potentially even sit next to M. ;-)
Eating what we have
- Eating leftovers, roasting veggies, trying to stave off food waste.
- Made a big yogurt bowl for Sam while he was studying, and included lots of blueberries, pomegranate seeds & granola. He was very pleased, and it kept him from having less healthy & nourishing snacks, as he tends to do a grab & go.
- Eating lots of fruit & veggies, which tends to be way less expensive than packaged snacks. That said, I did buy some snacks ahead of Nick's arrival.
For others
- Helped my parents with some financial stuff.
What about you? Any wins to share?
