April- “So I am proud to say I feel like I have my first money win. I recently began assessing my monthly fixed expenses and looking at where I could trim back as far as bills went. After moving around some lines on T-Mobile and cancelling the apple digits for my Apple Watch, I was able to reduce my bill from $180 a month to $145.

Then, I purchased a home water dispenser + water jugs from WalMart online so I could stop Sparkletts delivery. By doing so, I was able to reduce my water consumption bill from $41 a month down to $13.50 by filling my own water. And for those of you wondering– the water tastes just as good. So a total of $62 saved just from changing around the way I get the exact same thing.” #moneywin

Casi– “it’s a small thing, but a big accomplishment for me! My son and I were out running errands and I got a huge craving for ice cream. Normally I would go get ice cream or frozen custard and spend $10-$15, instead we came home and ate ice cream out of the freezer! Still took care of my craving, but didn’t take a dip out of my budget.” #moneywin

Caroline- “Hi! Reporting a #moneywin ! My electric oven stopped working. My first impulse was to order a new one (it’s old and it rattled and blah blah blah). I let that first impulse slide and instead I got a local electrician to come round and take a look. He fixed it for £60! Repairing it using a local trades person instead of buying new saved me over £300. Not to mention the waste I would have generted by getting rid of the “old” one.”
