February No Spend Month Challenge: Day 20 Recap

Day 20-

Hello again, savvy savers! I hope your day was productive! Today I wanted you to focus not on selling things gleaned from your home, but items that can be made from items you have on hand, by way of ETSY. Today, I asked you all to consider all of the homemade crafts, recipes, items, and crafts that you have a knack for making, can easily make from the items you have on hand at home, or items that can be made quickly, and then create an ETSY Shop.

As an ETSY shop owner myself, I am partial to this site, and hope that you all could consider this site! It’s beyond awesome! Please feel free to check out my shop, here!  As for me, as I already have a seasoned account, so I listed ten new seasonal items for sale; items for Saint Patrick’s Day, Easter, Spring, Mother’s Day, and Cinco de Mayo.

My Selling Goals Were:

  • I am going to list 10 seasonal items. 
  • All items will be listed for one season.
  • The items cost $2.00 to list, which was paid with funds from iBotta, in my paypal account. 

As well today I was also able to accomplish:

  1. As part of my #Choose30 Daily Challenge, I woke up at 7:25, walked my fur babies, showered, & dressed to my shoes. (Thanks, Flylady!)
  2. Worked on my daily Motivated Moms Planner.
  3. I finished a day’s worth of clerking assignments ahead of schedule!
  4. I cooked from my pantry for each meal.
  5. Read my daily devotional.
  6. I waked two miles.
    1. I read part of a new review book.

Today I saved:

  • I eat at home this evening for dinner, saving our family $6.95.
  • I scored a free 1-year subscription to Midwest Magazine, a savings of $16.00.
  • I recycled, upcycled, and composted one bins of deluge, and saved $0.25, the cost of 1 trash bag. 
  • I cooked three meals from my home pantry, saving $6.81 in the process.
  • 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.
  • I earned $5.00 from Receipt Hog. 
  • I mailed off a package of coupons for Coups For Troops.
  • I enjoyed a Free Chik-fil-a- frozen latte!

Total amount I saved my family: $45.38

This months savings goal remaining: $13.95
