What did you do to save $ today?

Hmmmm...about 40# of turnips from the neighbors. We are not turnip folks....but looks like we're gonna be WEG They were going to turn them under, to plant some different crops. She loaded up her lil' red wagon for me. Then gave me 2 doz eggs, from her chickens. I took home a pair of pants to hem for her hubby, as a barter for all the goodies she gave me. Also took over 4 gal of used motor oil for a neighbor down the road who converts it to heating oil. For himself. He is the one who gave us 2 water totes, IBC. Free. All in all, not a bad day.

Stopped at a new store to me, and picked up a pound of stew meat for $2.25. Wouldn't have gone anywhere, except that I had to go the bank, so I could pay my car insurance. I only had to go about 8 miles each way, so a close travel day for me. Need to make some bread still though.

I cashed in some change to pay the exterminator, cashed in some MCR points for free soda, cashed in some MyPoints for a fuel card, and tomorrow I will cash in some Swagbucks for another Amazon gift card. I also got about $2 worth of milk from "NAGatha" My total for today...hmmmmm about $85 for basically sitting on my butt and taking a break for most of the day Maybe I should sit more often

Started using the ink refills for my 860 Canon printer. I bought them on Amazon 20 little packs for $10 and some change. Bought some other stuff I was going to buy anyway to get the total for free shipping. The inks worked really well for what I paid as I no longer need professional quality to print out a recipe or a bank statement. Paid for it with my Chase card and qualify for 5% cash back. Wanted to make sure the inks worked before saying anything.

Packed my lunch, as usual

Made money or saved it...not sure. I found a plastic "Grand Opening" sign in the trash, when I was foraging for boxes to move into this place with DH. It is about 3'x8'. I used it today to line the bottom of the chicken tractor. The floor of the roost upstairs. They had destroyed or ate everything else I put in there. Sawdust, newspaper, cardboard. This last time, I had to use bits and pieces of plastic lids, trying to block the open draft floor. It was all poo covered and in disarray. I took all of it out, and tossed it into the garden for the rain to rinse off.

I think, this chicken tractor is turning into an experiment.

GW--do you mind explaining this in more detail? I spend way too much on ink. Does this include color ink? Thanks!
