What I saved/made this weekend

Have you ever thought about how much money you are saving your family by doing things yourself?

This crossed my mind today and I like to think of it as money I made my family.  I think of it that way because I would do these things regardless and by doing them myself, therefore, I made money :)  The way I see it, the more money I save my family, the more money we have to do FUN things.

This is me putting a price on my time for this weekend.

Saturday:
Highlights: $85 at LEAST for just foil highlights and a wash.
What I paid: $0 I used the stuff I have, I buy at Sally's and it lasts me a LONG time

Pedi/Mani: $30 is the least I have seen this combo for and that's on Groupon and Social Living
What I paid: $0 I have everything I need including the razor thing for the dead skin on my heels!

Rented a Movie from RedBox: $1
What I paid: $0- I had a free code

Watched 2 new movies we have not seen before  $2 at least to rent from Redbox
What I paid $0- got them from the library

Sunday:
bought a New vase with seashell filler decoration for my living room: $53 at least for the "model" I loved at Pottery Barn
What I paid $2 -$1 for each the vase and filler from Dollar Tree

Birthday Card, Hats, party favors, and cookie mix and tin to finish off hubbies birthday care package: $10 roughly
What I paid: $5 -dollar tree and outlet store

Mcdonald's Frozen Strawberry lemonade for K: $2 roughly
What I paid $0- coupon from today's paper

Not to mention cooking all meals all weekend and the Uncle Ben's rice I got FREE.  $2.30 value.. (my coupon was expiring)

Total I would have paid: roughly $185
What I actually spent this weekend: just under $16
what I saved/made this weekend: $169

So how much did YOU make this weekend?  Our time is Money ladies.

Oh and later this week I will be waxing myself.. I don't see paying all that money for stuff I can do myself :)

Have a great Week..

BLOOM- Super Doubles

I am a couponer, but I am NOT an extreme couponer and I do NOT buy things I don't use with coupons just because they are FREE or CHEAP.

I am happy with my recent haul at BLOOM today.  Here is what I got:

 Whole Bean DD coffee $8.99-$3.00 ($1.50 coupon doubled x2) =$5.99  still pricey but I LOVE this and you can't find it that cheap anywhere!

Wacky Mac x2 $1.59 ea $1/2 doubled to $2 = $.59 ea

Northern White Beans (no coupon but I need them for minestrone soup and beans and cornbread-I have a hambone I need to use) $1.32

Banana's $.55 lb $1.52

Green Pepper $.79

Yoplait greek yogurt cups x4 $1 ea $.60/2 (doubled to $1.20/2) $.40 ea did I mention GREEK!!!

Lysol Toilet cleaner x4 $1.50 each $1/2 ($2/2) = $.50 ea roughly

FINISH powerball dishwashing stuff $.3.99  $.75/1 (doubled $1.50/1) =$2.49 a bit pricy but cheaper than any other and I NEEDED it.  I ran out last night

WOOLITE 50oz HE detergent  $8.39 used $3/1 = $5.39 pricey but it's WOOLITE!

Greased Lightning multipurpose spray x2  2/$5.00 on sale.  Used $1/1 ($2/1)= $.50 each

Reach Floss $1.49 used $1/1 ($2/1) Looks like I made $.51 on this one.  They usually don't give overages but I guess they just rolled it over.  

Total before Breeze Card and coupons: $63.05

Total OOP:                                             $28.21

Total Saved!                                            $34.84
