Frugal Acts - 1/1/10-1/7/10

Here is a list of the things that family has done the first week of 2010 to maintain our frugal lifestyle.

1. Had a leftover night for dinner earlier this week

2. Used the library for needed books

3. Will use a buy 1/get 1 coupon for the pizza we will buy for our weekly pizza night

4. Used cold water in all but 1 load of laundry this week

5. Tonight is family movie night, we stay at home for this and will either watch a Netflix movie or a movie that we already own.

6. Bought several necessities at an outlet mall last week at 70% off.

7. Took advantage of the bulk items currently on sale at Target for household necessities. For example I loaded up on the following: toilet paper, pasta, snacks for kids lunches and cleaning supplies.

I am happy with our start, but looking forward to next week to see what I can accomplish. First thing on next weeks list, I hope, utilized coupons.
