Let's see… When I first wake up, I open all of the blinds to let the sunlight in and I don't turn on the lights until it gets dark out. I used leftover chicken to make a gumbo and I packed my hubby's lunch w/ some leftovers for work (he also drinks free cofee and water at work). I use a surge protector on my major appliances (tv w/ video game consoles, etc… and 1 for computer and accessories) and I turn them off when not in use. I didn't turn my computer on until tonight so that saved energy. Oh, and we received free samples of cofee in the mail so I used 1 of them for my "destressor" today.

Hey, Kathy W,

Would you mind sharing your recipe for homemade dishwasher detergent? I would love to try it! Thanks.

I'm out of oatmeal so instead of running to the grocery store I'm having fried breakfast potatoes. Not much else has been accomplished, although I'm going to make myself some coffee before class instead of buying it on my way. .-= Kayla K@Kayla K's Thrifty Ways´s last blog ..Yogurt Cups/Hoarding =-.

I made my own whole wheat flour tortillas and I topped them with left over chili, cheese and salsa I made from scratch. .-= Anita´s last blog ..How I afford whole food for my family =-.

I wrote on my eee pc at Panera's and made use of their limitless coffee. Since I take milk and sugar, it does come to $1.80 and I am getting around 8 ounces of milk worth about 20cents at home. The coffee may cost 30 cents but the stuff at home isn't watered down. I also refilled with soda pop that costs about 50 cents at home. So this would be about $1.10 at home. Considering I had free internet - not bad. If I paid for internet at home it runs $1.50 a day. If I'm out of the house anyway so transportation isn't figured, I save 70 cents! If you want your foods figured free go to my eatingon1.wordpress blog or to see how my coauthor traveled the world on his savings http://bit.ly/5jARKt Can you think of 5 foods for free financial costing? .-= amanda more´s last blog ..To save $ to help,can you think up five foods? =-.

This week I set a goal of not eating out more than 3 times. I didn't eat out on Monday or Tuesday. I guess I can say that I saved money today by not eating out. In addition, one of my clients gave me dinner. .-= Aspiring Millionaire @ MyMillionairePlan.com´s last blog ..Goals for February 8th, 2010 =-.

That's hilarious about going to the bathroom before leaving work, but I have to admit I've done that for the same reason, eek!

I pulled the curtains back and turned the lights off. We get more light doing it that way and it brightens my mood!

I made pancakes for breakfast and blt's for lunch. We went out for supper but only spent $6 for 2 people because I had a coupon. Does that justify it!?

The stole things comment made me laugh!!!

Even though there were some terrific sales I decided the grocery shopping could wait. There are alway sales and the pantry and freezer are still well stocked. Truth is, it’s my first day off in over ten days and I just didn’t want to leave the house.
