What did you do to save $ today?

Bought duck eggs at the auction for $2.25, hatched out 8 pekin ducklings. Considering that I'm selling off the rest of the chicks to cover the cost of eggs, gas, etc, these guys will be basically free (or if you want to be specific, they were $0.28/duckling). I'd have paid $12 at the least online for pekin eggs, which if I had the same hatch rate, would've cost me $1.50/duckling.

Let someone else pay for my ice cream cone. Got gas in the bike at a place where the highest grade (which is what my bike needs) is 6 cents off on Tuesdays.

Sounds like a wonderful day to me!

The store my Mom works at is having a meat sale on Thursday and Friday. We looked at the list this past Saturday and put in an order for 10 lbs. of bacon for $17.99 and a 10-12 lb pork loin for $1.89.

Got a call from Mom today and she let me know that the store butcher let her pick out our meat today and he hooked her up with a better deal on our pork loin...got it for $1.59 a lb!

We picked up a truck load of free compost from the city transfer station. Going back tomorrow for mulch. They have it set up where compost and mulch are free for residents just need proof of residence.

We ate an almost storebought free dinner! What wasn't homegrown was bought in bulk

We have something similar. You have to shovel it into your own containers. They drop off at the local parks, but we don't get mulch. Still... I filled the back of my car 5 times now (just grabbed another load today) for $1.85 per load (gas money). It'd have cost me over $100 to buy it. So, savings of over $90.

We do that almost everyday, but I usually don't post on this thread.

I gave the horses their shots today. Buying them myself instead of having the vet do them saved me a bunch of money.
