New Year Resolution (Original Post 01/07/09)

This year my New Year resolution is to get as much free stuff and save as much money as I can. I try to do it every year, but this year I am going to try and keep track and see how much I save at the end of the year. So, I guess I will share and take you on my journey and maybe you can save too.


So far I have saved quite a bit already. I bought a 3 year magazine subscription to All You. This is a cool magazine because it has tons of coupons in it. The magazine subscription is almost $36, a year. I got 3 years for $30.

Yesterday, we went to Steve & Barry's. They are a clothing store that filed for bankruptcy. I'm not sure if all the stores are closing, but we went to the one in Vancouver, WA and they are closing. Josh got 3 pairs of jeans and 3 shirts. I got 3 pairs of pants and 5 shirts. We paid $30 for everything.

And today, Hickory Farms has a 75% off sale. I also had a coupon code for an additional 15% off. I bought 2 sausage and cheese packages for $10 each and petite fours for $4.75. Everything including shipping was $32. The sausage was originally $40 each and the petite fours were $20.

So far I have spent $92, but saved $266. Not too bad, I must say.
