No Spend Day and Other Frugal Musings

January 2nd, 2007 at 04:22 am

Today was a no spend day.

I didn't go anywhere so I didn't use any gas.

We ate leftovers.

I built a fire in the woodstove instead of using the propane furnace.

I scheduled a bill to be paid online for 1/5/07, to save a stamp. (Man, that 07 feels weird to type).

I found another quarter on the floor of the kitchen and added it to my change jar.

I did the garbage can dance, where you get into the garbage can and smash it down so you can get a couple more bags in it before you put it out. Technically, not supposed to do that, but my garbage can has a limit of 80 pounds and believe you me, I am going to get all 80 pounds in there, or as close to, and the only way to do it is to do the garbage can dance.

Got all the recyling sorted as we have free recyling pick-up every two weeks and the value of recycled materials is deducted from our garbage bill since it doesn't go into the landfill. It's usually only a couple dollars a month, but every little bit counts.

Just my frugal things for the day.
