Saving Thursday

I am still in a lot of pain. (Last week I frachard my tailbone.) I can't really get a lot of thing done. However I was still able to do the following things to save earn money.

I did my taxs free online. I found a site on IRS.Gov. I prepard my state on Maine.gov.

I took navy showers.

I filed out surveys. (Under "ways to make money" on left for links. )

I opened paid emails. (Under "ways to make money" on left for links.)

We ate every single leftover. We didn't follow are meal plan because DH is cooking. (He has a hard time with it. LOL) However, we ate from our stockpile. I plan on cleaning out our freezer this month. (Until I fell better. The Dr. said at least one month.) Luckily I have lots of prepared meals in our freezer. A couple of years ago we would have eat out everyday if I didn't cook. I have learned to cook once and eat twice. More tips here.

DH did the following;

He packed his dinner everyday for work. (Dh is working 2nd shift.)

DH ran the dishwasher FULL with homemade dishwasher soap on water saver with no heat drying every day.

DH did full loads of laundry with homemade soap every day.
