We are going on another road trip to check up on the rental. We are arriving unannounced. It is a good way to get a check-up on the property. We have it written into the lease we will show up on whim.
Meals, snacks, and drinks drive up the budget. I will make these for the trip. I can easily do this for 75 dollars for the week. I am returning to eating a vegetarian and vegan for a while. Meat doesn't appeal to me lately. I will cook meat for the family.
Our daughter wanted a sewing machine for her birthday. I found a deal on one at the Walmart website. I had Walmart cash, and a large promo code for an order that messed up. The cost for the 229-dollar machine was 44.00. We rounded the gift out with a hardcopy sewing book, a sewing machine bag, and a filled sewing box from Amazon using my Amazon gift card. It would have been another 100 for these items. So 329 dollars for 44 dollars was a great savings.
If you are the type of person who gets your furry friends from a breeder, be selective. This can save you a lot of heartbreak and expense. Go visit the facilities. Stella was purchased from an out-of-state breeder. She was brought to us, we didn't select each other. If you can get a look at other puppies in the litter, the parents, you can get a general idea of wellbeing. A lot of her behavioral issues were not training or related to her heat cycles, it was Addison's disease. Her case was mild, so that is why it didn't show up until later.
Bake once a week for your family's needs. You will save time, save money, and will only need to clean the kitchen once. I keep bread dough and pizza dough in the fridge and freezer to keep up with fresh baked goods. Last week, I didn't feel like running to the store to purchase hamburger buns. It is a 40-minute round trip. I thawed my dough in the morning and baked the hamburger buns. It took 12 minutes.
Events that require the kids to have pocket money for things. Free concerts, community. We give them 20 dollars each. Whatever they come with, I double. Our son always comes home with the money we gave him. Our daughter, not so much. He puts his money in the bank.
Facebook marketplace is a great way to sell, give away, get things for free, and sell things cheap.
Estate sales(at the end) are a great way to pick up free things to resell and use yourself.
