Ok, it is Monday… Time to start thinking about what you are going to do this week to save $50 or make an extra $50. Please share with others in the comments to help encourage and motivate each other that YOU can do it!
If you want to re-read my Fiscal Cliff survival guide, it is over HERE.
How did I save this past week:
- 2 nights came home and ate dinner when it would have been easier to eat out. SAVED $40
- Bought kids softball cleats at resale shop instead of brand new. SAVED $15
- Sold brand new cowboy boots on Craigslist that were gathering dust in my closet. They were a gift and didn’t fit right. MADE $50
There were a few more little things that I did this week that seem silly to post about, but I saved some money in a few other places by just walking away!

How did you save some money this past week??

Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.

I prefer eBay because I don’t have to meet up with people but these are good local sites.
Your menu-planning tip kept us eating at home for two weeks now! We typically eat out or order carryout food twice a week – without those we saved at least $70 this week.
I made my frapps at home 5 days this week so that was $20.00 and then I took some stuff to the baby store and got $15.00.I bought two pairs of jeans for a dollar there , and they were nice
Thank you for the inspiration !!!
I cleaned my daughters room & out some toys for sale
Made $12.00 so far!
I have so many nice things that I would love to try and sell on Craigslist but am scared. Things that I wouldn’t want to try and list on ebay. If I could just get up the nerve and get over my fears.
I am not totally comfortable listing things on Craigslist either, so I tell them they have to pick up at a certain time when either my husband or neighbors are home. Maybe you can do that too Marie
Kelly and Marie- if you want to try Craigslist, only publish a cell number and then agree to meet at a public place such as Starbucks. I only take cash and don’t give my last name. I’ve had no problems. I normally don’t even give a cell, just an email. It’s worked for me:)
