Being a single income family we do whatever we can to save money. I do most of my shopping online and will never pay full price or pay shipping. After all my items are in my online cart I go to checkout, then open another tab on my computer and search for promo codes that pertain to the store. There are lots of websites that offer promo codes, some are good and some eh, are no so good. Most stores will offer promo codes, Kohl’s you can use two (2) promo codes at a time! By having two (2) browser windows open at the same time you can check which promo codes will best serve you. Yea, it takes a few more minutes to finish your order, but it’s worth it to save a few bucks. Better in your pocket than theirs, right?!

Thrifty Thursday – $5.00 Mini Golf Night

This week’s Thrifty Thursday is about the weekly mini golf deal we found near to us, so maybe you could check out your local miniature golf courses in your area to see what kind of deals they offer during the week.

If you remember from my anniversary post, we went mini golfing and guess what? It was $5.00 for each of us. This is a Tuesday and a Friday special at this particular miniature golf course. They run this special from 5 pm to 9 pm. We thought it made for a cheap date night!

This is also the same place we had hoped to take the children to as a surprise last night, but it never happened. Lord willing, next week! With all of us, it won’t necessarily be cheap, but it’s still affordable for a rare treat. None of the children have ever been mini golfing, so it will be interesting to see all their reactions. Plus it will make a wonderfully fun memory for all of us!

Thrifty Thursdays: Garage Sales

Garage sales are yet another way to get the most out of your money. You can find alot of great deals at these little (or big) sales. Over the years we have found alot of great bargains at garage sales. You can find everything from tables, clothing, toys, and alot more!

But, one thing to be careful of is not to overspend at these sales! Some garage sales are dirt cheap but others are over hyped and expensive. So, beware not to overspend and not to over buy things “that you might need someday”. Sometimes garage sales have alot of junk that we don’t need so beware of the “junky” ones! Garage sale-ing with your kids can be fun but I know from experience that if the garage sale has alot of toys it might just be best to skip that one or leave them at home!

Our family has a lot of fun and fond memories of garage sale-ing with Robert’s mom we have done this every year (well more like 10 times a year! :)) With her and it is alot of fun for the children as Grandma can go “shopping” with them without spending a lot of money on them. And plus you can find items that you actually need that are cheaper and more thrifty than department store items!

Have a happy summer and stay cool!
