Come back on Monday when I will share more about my new feature Saving on a Shoestring.  I’ll also give an update on my savings/spending for the month of January.  I’d love for you to join me in this fun new venture as well!  Read all about it here.

Savings from coupons and store sales: $88.32

• Rite Aid: Saved $6.08. I actually made $.89 on this Maybelline mascara deal!
• Giant PA: Saved $60.08. I had a sweet week due in large part to my DiGiorno House Party.  The cashier looked at me a little fun when I handed over all those free pizza coupons!  I scored several totally free items as well.
• CVS: Saved $22.16.  Scored that great deal on Pepsico products.

Savings from ‘Free Money’: $1.75

• Wes and I made around $1.25 this week from YouData–are you all checking your accounts?
• Made $.50 in my Upromise account from the No Yolks deal.

Savings from cutting costs: $65

• I actually scored a haircut last week for only $2.99!  There is a new store in the area and they are offering the deal as a promo.  Not only that, but I actually like the cut!
• I hit a thrift store yesterday hoping to score some cute clothes for Blissdom (more on that later).  I actually got a pair of jeans for $1.25, a cardigan sweater for $1.25, and some PJ’s for $2.  (January is half off month).  Can you say Sa-WEET?!
  

TOTAL SAVINGS:$155.07
