7 ways I wasted money last week

From time to time we all make mistakes and do things that cost us money instead of save it. Here are my blunders for the past several 7 days:

Monday: Busy Blunder - Didn’t have enough time to go grocery shopping and our fridge was cleaned out before the long weekend.  Resulted in too many meals eaten out during the week.

Tip: Get the house stocked with groceries before you start a new work week.

Tuesday: Running Late Blunder: Grabbed coffee and muffin at McDonalds on the way to work.

Tip: Take coffee in a travel mug and bake your own muffins and other snacks.

Wednesday: Running Late Blunder #2:  Slept in and drove to work.

Tip: Take public transit and avoid gas and parking charges.

Thursday: Cutest Blunder - Found Butternut sleeping in a basket of clean, folded laundry that I had yet to put away!

Tip: Put clean laundry away immediately! (Especially if you have naughty pets around!)

Friday: Exhausted Blunder - went to a pub after work for beers and burgers after a long and tedious week!

Saturday: Grocery Store Blunder - I didn’t realize that I could use more than one coupon for the same product.  If I had realized this I would have stocked up on cereal sales and used a wad of coupons!  

Tip: You can use one coupon per product - but buy as many products as you like! (I learned this tip at Centisble Savings.)

Sunday: Most frustrating Blunder - I didn’t realize that I had an additional coupon for a FREE bag of Purina One Cat Chow.  I just found it today - but it expired last Tuesday!  

Tip: Buy a coupon organizer!
