What did you do to save $ today?

I skipped lunch because I was away from the house working, and didn't have time, so I saved money by not buying lunch :P
 
Let my parents take me to the hospital so hubby didn't have to take off work, and since we used their car, I didn't even have to worry about gas. :D
 
Me and the Gals -I just went to the Amazon site and put in a search for Canon 860 printer ink and scrolled around reading reviews. It took a little time but I got 4 sets of the 2 black cartridges, the 4 magenta, 4 cyan, 4 yellow all for $10.46. I can't buy one Cannon cartridge for that. They are not Cannon grade but seem to work fine and my printer recognized them. Some people had a few complaints about packaging and one person said theirs leaked some ink but the majority were happy like I am. I really depend on reviews whenever I buy something and check compatability. I buy a lot on line cause we are out in the sticks and it is an hour to anything more sophisticated than Walmart.
 
Processed 16 broilers in 2 days and will do the last 5 tomorrow, as well as 6 rouen drakes. If I have time I will do about 7 guineas too. That will fill my freezer with meat and decrease my feed use. double savings, plus much more organic.
 
Washed and dried for re-use some tinfoil, re-used some ziplock sandwich bags for the umpteenth time, ate home made English muffins instead of store bought and brough leftovers to work for lunch along with bringing my coffee from home. Oh yeah, and took a shower at the gym. Might as well use their water and not mine! :D
 
Continued from 2 posts ago......well after all the broilers relaxed for the recommended 3 days, ate one and froze the rest. So what to do with the 1 and 1/2 quarts of giblets??? Usually they would be frozen too, but then mostly they get stockpiled in the freezer, because I just don't use it fast enough. Well I was inspired to make my own rice dressing mix. I could almost claim I have organic dressing mix, but not quite. I did brown about 6 LBs of ground chunk from the grocery, but I'm happy I have mixes for 7 meals ahead of me. I didn't do the math yet, but we have a Co. in one of our neighboring parishes that markets theirs, so I will check how much I would have to pay for that much dressing mix. I think I did really good, though. At least I know it will be used now.

Oh and I bought a new generator for 279.00 and it's a 3,000 watts. Best price around here for a long time. All that propane, kerosene and gasoline I have been buying now has a purpose lol. Purchased my boys cowboy boots 70% off for real leather boots , and there western shirts regularly 32.00 were on sale for 7.00 . I purchased 24 cans of red feather butter and saved 32.00 .....
