February No-Spend Month Challenge: Day 6 Recap

Hello again, savvy savers! So today I challenged you all to “Rain-Check Shop,”  to “shop” for deals, particularly weekend drugstore deals, which can be used at a later time.

So, here is what I did today:

1. After work, I first went to my local Winn-Dixie and was able to snag rain-checks on BOGO bread, butter, cereal, pasta, juice, pork roasts, pork chops, and frozen veggie deals!
2. I then went to Walgreens and received rain-checks on Culturelle Digestive Health Probiotic and Nutella. 
3. At Rite Aid I was able to get rain-checks for GE CFL Light Bulbs and Softsoap Liquid Hand Soap,
4. And at CVS, I snagged rain-checks on Nutella, Colgate, and Excederin; I also checked the CVS Coupon Machine for store coupons to tuck in my coupon binder.
5. During March, I will be able to spend $24.00 for $78.00 worth of groceries and personal care products! 

As well today, I was also able to accomplish:

1. I woke up at 6:25, walked my fur babies, showered, & dressed to my shoes. (Thanks, Flylady!)
2. Worked on my daily Motivated Moms Planner.
3. I read part of a new review book.
4. I finished today’s Day 5 No-Spend Challenge!
5. I enjoyed a Free Chik-fil-a- frozen latte!
6. I cooked from my pantry, three times.
7. I walked for three miles!
8. I finished all of my daily blog posts on time!
9. Read my daily devotional.
10. I cleaned out my coupon cabinet, paper files for my ETSY business, and recycled numerous bins of random scraps of fabric around my craft room, too! 

So today I saved:

• I was able to procure 16 new rain-checks savings $54.00 in savings for March!
• I completed 2 surveys online via Ipsos-iSay, and earned a $1.00 towards my next Amazon gift code.
• I eat at home three times today, saving our family $7.93. 
• I recycled, upcycled, and composted one bins of deluge, and saved $0.25, the cost of 1 trash bag. 
• I enjoyed a free Chik-fil-a frozen latte, for free, a savings of $2.99!
• I received $12.99 worth of product review items, which can be placed in my home gift closet!
• My family drank water today, and saved $0.69, the cost of a 2-liter of soda.
• I also did not watch cable tv, and saved $3.68 by doing so.

So, overall today my family saved: $83.53

This months savings goal remaining: $502.27

Hopefully today’s challenge will have helped you to start thinking not just about savings during no-spend months, but for spending months, too! Until tomorrow’s challenge!
