    Default saving challenges

    I think there should be challenges on small ways to save daily.
    Today I will not go out with the car so will save on gas and I will not use the dishwasher dry cycle.

    I think it's a great idea. Like a what did you do today to save or pinch pennies thing.

    Today I'm gardening instead of going to garage sales. I love to go to sales, but why spend money today?

    Great idea!

    Today I'm baking bread rather than buying bread from the store. I could have ran out and got some in the closest town (our stores aren't open) because I really didn't feel like baking today. But rather than using gas, I'm saving wear and tear on the van, saving gas and saving the cost of the bread, which btw is $1.79 a loaf at the closest store!!! I can bake 4 loaves for that!!

    I LOVE this idea! Great thinking, Lourdes! Today I am going to not go to the bathroom so I don't waste water flushing. Just kidding. Today I am going to hang more of my clothes on the basement clothesline than usual to save money on the gas dryer.
