Hello again, savvy savers! So, for Day 3, and keeping with our I challenge you all to find new ways to Dine Out At Home!

For for me, I used today’s challenge to create a copycat meal, that could later be used with materials I had on-hand! Here’s my menu:

So, with items on hand, I would be able to pull this meal together, for my husband and I, for under $10.00! Compare this to the retail price of $64.18, minus gratuity and tax, for this same meal! This meal will be on my menu for my April no-spend month challenge, as my current meal plan is already in place!

As well today, I was also able to accomplish:

  1. I woke up at 6:45, walked my fur babies, showered, & dressed to my shoes, grudgingly. (Thanks, Flylady!)
  2. Worked on my daily Motivated Moms Planner.
  3. I finished one day of  clerking assignments.
  4. I read part of a new review book.
  5. I finished the last chapter of an awesome new book,And Now I Choose,” by Tam Hodge.
  6. I finished today’s Day 3 No-Spend Challenge!
  7. I cooked from my pantry, three times.
  8. I finished five product reviews.
  9. Read my daily devotional.
  10. I organized my dining room.

So today I saved:

  • I was able to subscribe to a new, free magazine subscription, which will have a combined savings of $11.00.
  • 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 $8.91. 
  • I recycled, upcycled, and composted one bins of deluge and saved $0.25, the cost of 1 trash bag. 
  • I reconstituted older Scentsy bricks into new wax melts, and saved $4.50.
  • I received $21.32 worth of product review items, which can be placed in my home gift closet!
  • I also did not watch cable tv, and saved $3.68 by doing so.

So, overall today my family saved: $50.66

This months savings goal remaining: $757.75

 

Now that’s a full day! Stay tuned for the Day 4 Challenge tomorrow!

Here’s to saving,
