The savings we make here are not usually of the jaw-dropping kind. While hubby saved 15% off our car insurance renewal last week, with a phone call and a question, most savings here are of the small and simple kind. They are the little things that save a $ here or a $ there.
$2 for three little plants purchased from a school market.
(One plant at a nursery would cost more than $2 so three is what I consider a bargain!)
Homegrown tiny tomatoes for salads.
(I'm growing these in pots and they are fruiting well.)
A stale bread roll made into breadcrumbs.
(I froze these for later use.)
I purchased an "odd bunch" of pears.
(These are sold more cheaply because they are not quite "perfect".)
Free entertainment for a boy who loves flags!
(Perfect for when it's too hot to kick the footy at the park.)
$2 birthday cards from Big W.
(Given cards can cost upwards of $5each, I bought 5 and saved at least $15.)
I mended the pocket on my son's school shirt.
(This weekend, I have to mend his hat!!)
I added these half-price crackers to my stockpile.
(My son takes a little tub of these with cheese to school for a snack.)
While none of these little savings are particularly astounding, they all add up. What simple savings have you made lately?
