Saving money on the little things…
Posted on January 11, 2010 in saving money
I’m trying to save money on the little things, to help fund the big things. For example, it’s 2 weeks into 2010, and even though I’m done my lunch challenge, I still haven’t purchased lunch or snacks yet this year. Which I’m actually quite surprised about. I thought after 12 weeks of going without buying snacks/lunch, I’d want to treat myself.
But instead, I’m happy that I’m saving the money, because my rock climbing membership is due this month. 12 months will cost me about $250. Which may seem like a lot, but is a HUGE bargain considering full price annual passes are around $500.

$250 for a full year is a real bargain!
Here in San Francisco it is $70/month or $770 a year.
It's funny, I haven't let myself go clothes shopping because I have credit card debt, and I thought I would be dying to go crazy! But instead when I hear about my friends' shopping binges, I just think they're crazy. Forcing good habits really can change your outlook! Good for you on the lunches!
I've been doing an eat in month challange and I have to say, I'm having money leftover for things I really appreciate, like bedding, then spending it on fast food and starbucks. I'm also losing weight so it's a win win. I hope I'm like you. After this challange, I hope I'm not tempted to eat out like I used to. :)
We keep trying to cut down on our grocery and eating out costs but it just doesn't seem to happen We're going to try harder this year though!
