Check out my savings for the week below:
I made it through the week without doing any real grocery shopping. And boy was I grateful that I did when we woke up this morning to a broken refrigerator (for the second time in a few months). Thankfully, our fridge was empty enough that we could fit everything in a cooler and our chest freezer (another reason I’m glad we invested in a chest freezer years ago!)
One other reason I’m grateful this morning? We purchased the extended warranty on our fridge when we bought it less than a year and a half ago.
Savings from coupons and store sales: $4.66
- Spent $13.72 at Landis. Saved $4.66.
Savings from ‘Free Money’: $5.19
I got some fun freebies in the mail this week:
- a check for $2.50 from Kellogg’s from a Try Me Free rebate on Keebler Right Bites.
- a $10 Walmart gift card that I redeemed from Recyclebank.*
- a coupon for a FREE box of Huggies Wipes that I redeemed with some Huggies Rewards points.*
- a coupon for a FREE box of Post Great Grains cereal that was offered on their Facebook page a while back.*
*I’ll add these to my savings when I redeem them.
- I also got a FREE Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee this week (it’s a local promotion).
Savings from planning ahead: about $500
- I am very thankful that we decided to take advantage of the extended warranty when we bought our fridge about a year and a half ago. Little did we know how much money it would save us in the long run.
TOTAL SAVINGS:$509.85
TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $1448.03
