I'm pleased to say that we've had some money-saving blessings happen over the past week.
Last week I mentioned that my dh had taken a few extra on-call days for a co-worker that wasn't feeling well and this was allowing dh to drive his work vehicle to work and home, thus saving us money on gas for dh's personal vehicle. Dh extended the time he took his co-worker's on-call through the weekend and then was allowed to bring his work truck home again Monday because he'd been working on getting it set up for maximum working efficiency (tool and parts storage and such). That gave us four extra days of dh not driving his personal vehicle.
Last night we had to get dog food and blessedly found that not only did the store have the brand we use on sale for $3 off per bag, but the bags had an extra 10% in them (so a 40lb. bag had 44lbs. instead). Hooray! On top of that, one of the employees that is always good about giving dh sample bags of food (same food we feed our dogs anyway) was on duty and gave us 24 individual servings for free. That doesn't stretch far between three dogs that eat twice a day, but every bit makes our dollars go further.
