This Frugal Princess has done it! Yes, I have not gone down to the coffee shop at all last week or today! Wow! See, I knew I could do it.
On Saturday that just passed I ended up at Shopper's Drugmart and they had their Optimum Card Redemption day - so I spent $132.00 and cashed in my points - so - my bill ended up being $32.00 - a savings of $100.00.
Here's how I get even more points - but - you have to pay off your visa bill every single month in full - or - you will lose money in interest. When I buy at Shoppers Drugmart I always use my Visa Travel Card and collect even more points!
Regarding points cards - if you don't use it - then - lose it - cut it up - get rid of it.
Remember - baby steps. Tomorrow is another day and we all can do better.
Once the freezing weather comes - that - is when I bring all my lunches to work. The cold motivates me to do it. The heat motivates me not to do it.
Remember - the piggy bank mentality - saving those pennies - for a rainy day. When we were kids we did it. So, now that were mature adults - we should keep doing it. That $25.00 you put in your interest savings account will add up and you can eventually save it towards a vacation - or - pay off a bill.
Let's listen in to some frugal tips and tricks:
This video had some great ideas!
Go through your closets - all those bags of little things you've been keeping. Oh, you found some shampoo - and - some toothpaste - and - some other things you use all the time. Well, that's helpful - and - less of a shock to your next grocery bill. See now you are learning to be frugal.
This Frugal Princess is going to sign off now - but - remember - always pay yourself first.
Goodnite to all you Frugal Prince or Princesses in Frugal land.
