saving $100

Crystal at Biblical Womanhood shared 5 ways she saved $100 last year, and is inviting us all to post our lists.

Here are some things we did last year that made a big difference:

1. Canceled Netflix and started using Redbox. Sign up for the Inside Redbox mailing list and get a free rental code in your email every Monday.

2. Canceled our landline & went to cellphones. We live in the boonies & had to have a metro line, so this saved us $35 a month.

3. In November we discovered a problem with our central heating, so we used the fireplace and 2 small space heaters through a cold spell (we are in N. Texas). We discovered 2 things: we survived quite nicely without the heat on, & our electric bill was $100 lower than normal!! We still haven’t turned the heat on.

4. I visited gottadeal.com every day or two to find the best (& a lot of times FREE) deals on the internet.

5. I finally got Sassyfrass out of diapers WOOHOO!!
