1. I purchased six birthday cards at Dollar Tree for $1 each. They were Hallmark cards that would have cost much more at a normal store.
2. I purchased a weekly/monthly planner and calendar for 2025 for $1.50 at Dollar Tree, much cheaper than other planners I checked out.
3. We checked the cost of a new prescription between a local drug store and our mail order drugstore. A couple of minutes saved us $21.
4. I had to be at the Cleveland Clinic for an appointment at 8:00. We stayed in their hotel free of charge using points.
5. We used a $15 voucher at the yacht club for lunch.
6. By searching the discounted tag items, I managed to buy 6 tops for about $12. The original thrift store price for them was $33.
7. We went salvage grocery shopping and found some great deals: cereal for 80 cents a box, saltines for 50 cents a box, coffee at $3 a pound, cake mixes at 25 cents each, whole wheat flour for 99 cents for five pounds, dried beans for 79 cents a pound, almond butter for $1 a jar, soy sauce for 50 cents a jar, pad Thai sauce for 30 cents, mustard for 30 cents, evaporated milk for 30 cents, green beans for 25 cents a can, wax beans for 40 cents a can, peas for 40 cents a can, diced tomatoes for 30 cents a can, whole tomatoes for 39 cents a can, lasagna sheets for 89 cents, peanuts for 50 cents a pound and more. This really helps keep our grocery budget lower.
8. We pay our dental bills directly from our checking account instead of using a credit card. This saves us 3%. that the dentist adds to our bill. That can add up more quickly than you might expect.
