We haven't had one of these in a while.
Today I am going to cancel our home phone and cable. 
We don't use our home phone (only our mothers use it and they can start getting used to phoning our cell phones like everyone else 
)
We don't use our cable either, L watches the disney channel but that one, extra $4 channel, is hardly worth the whole $40 for basic cable.

I combined our ATT/DirecTV accounts and got some $$ for a year and higher speed internet.
I didn't go to Target last night.

@mrsjyw: I didn't go to Target last night.
That is happy and sad news.

I was going to say that I haven't bought anything, but that's a lie. Ordered something to strip cloth diapers so I don't have to throw them out and start buying disposables?

I deposited cans and bottles at the redemption center and made back $18.90. I feel like a Kardashian y'all.

I emailed a mortgage banker to see if we can refinance for a lower rate.

Well last night I didn't pull the trigger on an Old Navy order. I'm trying to go the entire month without shopping but March is a hard one to get through without new clothes with Spring coming and I legitimately need a new pair of spring-appropriate jeans. And I returned some stuff so it'd be at even if I placed the order.
But still, I didn't order it yet. Not sure what I'll end up doing. But anytime in the last few months I would have made that purchase no problem!
We also just made it through another weekend without going out to eat!

@snowjewelz: That's great! I love ynab. Steps in the right direction!
@LulaBee: I mean, you're saving by using cloth, so that's a win!
@knittylady: haha!!! Don't spend it all in one place, ya hear!
@Pumpkin Pie: Nice!!! Hope it works out. I did that and it was awesome.

@.twist.: I love it too, esp the web version! I never wanted to try it before b/c I am rarely on my computer to install, let alone use a software.

I didn't go out to buy coffee this morning - although the pouring rain might have been the main factor in that decision

Ok, so technically this was Friday, but I changed my cell phone plan based on my recent usage & went from a $90 plan to a $50 plan. Totally kick myself for not doing this months ago!!

Does breastfeeding count and cloth diapering count? I feel like I'm always saving money doing both of those.
I'm actually doing the opposite of saving money today. DH's aunt asked to watch DD. I gladly said yes and am indulging in some me time for a couple hours. I picked up a latte and am getting a pedi. It's my first one since DD was born.

I changed my repayment plan for my student loans. It's actually going to increase my payment (boo!) but they'll be paid off much faster and we'll save tons of $$$ in interest in the long run.

I didn't buy a coffee? lol.
I really need to call the cable company. Maybe I'll do it today now since I'm home from work!

Brought lunch, that's about it. This week with DD2's birthday so money is being spent more than usual BUT I did find a 50% coupon for a sandwich shop, so our party platters are 1/2 price 
that's a win in my book! 18 people for 30 bucks.

I used tax refund to pay off almost all credit card debt and husband and I committed to living within a better budget and no longer incurring credit debt. 
I'm praying it works!

Ugh absolutely nothing. I just found out we owe taxes and LO has grown seemingly overnight so I had to order him loads of new clothes today

I didn't get a chance to meal prep this weekend, but still brought something from home and am not buying lunch today.

I packed my breakfast and lunch.
We just started speaking with a financial counselor and the amount of money we spend on eating out is ridiculous. I am the biggest culprit since I usually buy breakfast and lunch in the City.

@tinyperson: that counts!
@GoGoSnoGirl: $50 dollar phone plan!? That is unheard of here (unless you want to go with the worst providers ever!). I had a very old $60 dollar plan and I recently upgraded my phone and they REQUIRED me to have a basic $70 dollar plan to even upgrade.
@blackbird: haha!
@Mrs. Pickle: You deserve it! Enjoy!
@lawbee11: NICE! Sweet, sweet, savings! I may have to pay one off soon too....
@catomd00: Our basic cable eats up $40 a month and we NEVER watch it! We watch all our tv on netflix. Why are we paying 40 wasted dollars!? No need!
@LuLu Mom: That counts!
@avivoca: @DillonLion: Me tooooo! High fives!
@agold: That must feel so good! Good Luck! You can do it! :Goodluck:
@psw27: I hear you. We owe a lot of tax debt too. 
I'm doing all this pre-emptive because I would like to go back to school, somehow, and want to save where I can.

@mrsjazz: It is honestly amazing how much eating out costs! I've been packing my lunch for years now, but some months I really slip up and it is noticeably more costly! Good Luck with those temptations!

I came to work to earn some dough and I ate my lunch in.
I also have not hit the confirm button on a zulily order.

I did not stop at the gas station for a fountain pop on my way home from the gym this morning.

Haven't bought anything today... and forced myself to look at my credit card balance and accept the reality of the car repair bills from the last month. Now to figure out what to do with the reality...

Um, I got wawa for lunch instead of chipotle. So that saved like $3??

Moved money from selling knitting patterns online from my paypal to my bank account!

And it was decided today we will be paying of DH's car 9 months early which will save us his car payment plus car insurance (moving it to liability.) Happy about saving money, however sad that this means getting new carpet is being pushed back instead.
I know it's the smart decision but I wanted carpet in April now it looks like it will be closer to July-August.

The woman above me is moving to a new position which means I *should* get her job. Big raise $$$
Nothing's for sure yet but the outlook is good. Technically I didn't do anything. She did lol

Baked buttermilk biscuits from scratch so that DH and I can make breakfast biscuits at home instead of dropping cash at McDonald's on the way to work in the morning.
Bought a bunch of 9 volt batteries at the dollar store today after DH had to run out in the middle of the night and spend a small fortune on them at a convenience store on Saturday to get our fire alarm to stop screeching to have the batteries replaced.
