A new year has begun! Hopefully some good habits can be implemented from the start!
- No Spend Days: 10!
- Grocery deals: free box of spaghetti with store coupon, free bag of salad with Kroger coupon, 28¢ tomato
- I scheduled another free USPS pickup for two more items I sold online
- My onboarding health screening/vaccine/drug test was five miles away and I had a great unlimited-time street parking spot, so I took the 100% free city transit bus out. My best friend met me at the clinic and she was gracious enough to buy me lunch while we had a much needed catch up
- I cashed out $20.18 from the Eureka app (use code 6TMSQL and unlock $1!)
- I tried the Morningstar Riblets (not a fan) and pulled out the rice maker and made rice and steamed some leek dumplings at the same time - I got about four meals out of a cup of rice!
- Although there's been some pretty chilly nights here, I've been turning the air off at night. Since I'm sandwiched on the middle floor, it doesn't usually get down below 63° inside, which is perfectly manageable with my duvet and a snuggly 65lbs puppy dog
- I sold some items in a specialty Facebook group and shipped out the items via ParcelPath, which offers a discount - via PP the shipping was $6.82 vs $9 via the USPS website. I passed these savings along to the buyer and it'll be on it's way tomorrow after I scheduled a free pickup
- I walked a UPS package down to the drop off at a local CVS instead of paying for a pickup
I'm always decluttering! It's pretty slow going because I'm not near a lot of reputable thrift stores and people don't always show up when you offer things for free. We'll get there!
- A kid's Marvel backpack, a three drawer storage unit, a box of metal stamping supplies, a wok, plant stand, pair of steel toe boots, two ball bags and two plate brushes leftover from umpiring, - sold on Facebook marketplace
- A replacement Nalgene bottle lid, a NWT blazer I've had forever, the brand new set of Crocs insoles out of my work clogs, a Wii game, a bikini top, two B&BW Bac Holders, - sold online & shipped with recycled polymailers
- An extra puzzle, stack of clothing, four pairs of heels, an organizer bag, - given away in my local Buy Nothing group
- I consolidated my handbags into one bin in my closet and chose three I haven't used in years to list and sell
I really had to buckle down this month and eat from my stores. Here's how I did:
- Pantry/Freezer Use Up: Last of the egg noodles, last serving of cookie dough ice cream, a package of soup dumplings (not a fan), a bag of cheddar popcorn, above said Morningstar Riblets (not a fan), bag of slightly freezerburnt lima beans
