How did I save money today?

Up date on those garage shelves. Temu emailed me that they are out for delivery. Also got another email saying that because they were late arriving (not their fault btw) I get a $5 refund. A $5 refund on a $20 purchase. You got to love that!

My wife is so happy with her new folding shelves that she said she will put them away in the garage. So tonight before I go to bed I'll put them away. It's the thought that counts right?

I have a new project in mind, so started the envelope savings challenge for my target. Doing it this way so if I see materials I need I have the cash to hand.
I stocked up on some bits from a pharmacy store sale earlier this week; I think I posted it somewhere.
Last night went online looking for a particular herbal tablet for a family member, and realised the same store had even better offers on their site plus a 10% discount on the total.
I now have a years worth of shampoo & conditioner for the family, cod liver oil tabs and similar like vit c, paracetamol and sanitary products. Well worth a little maths; over the two purchases I've saved at least €150, and (even better) only bought good quality items we will actually use, so no waste.

I'm broke, so I didn't spend any money.

I reuse plastic grocery bags. I know - Who doesn't. I have lots of black heavy plastic bags that size. They fit great in a 30pack beer box with flaps cut off, and top of bag pulled over top edge of box. They're my waste paper baskets, also for kitchen. Saved from my drinking days just for that purpose.

Today the one in kitchen with eggshells, coffee grounds etc. needed to be taken out but wasn't full. Took some trash items from house cleaning in a larger bag to fill the smaller bag. I hate throwing out a trash bag that isn't full.
