World Cup of Savings!

[c0up0nl0v3r]

With the start of the World Cup, I've decided to issue myself a challenge - to not spend any money out of my bank account from June 12-July 13. I've saved up PC points, gift cards, and a little cash (from selling things on Kijiji) to, I hope, get myself through until the end of the World Cup. Things like rent are obviously excluded, but I wish I could get a month rent-free! I'll post updates on my progress!

I had my first shopping trip today, and spent:
(4) Nature Valley Bars @ $1.77 each (PM Rexall)
(4) Nordica Cottage Cheese @ $2.47 - (4) $1 coupons (tear pad) = $1.47 each

Love your thread title and overall challenge!

I thought the $1.77 eggs were a Saturday only deal at SDM? I don't have my flyer in front of me so I might be having a brain fart.

Had to dip into my stash of emergency money earlier than I had hoped, but couldn't pass this up! Receipt says I saved $55.07 (before taxes)!
OOP: $0 (used cash from selling unused items on kijiji)

Filled up for $60, cashed in 570 air miles.

You got a car for World Cup at RCSS? What model?

If you have PC gift cards with a few dollars left on them, stock up on no-name freeze pops @99 cents per 24. You won't be sweating it out in the heat like the soccer players in Brazil! This week my PC Plus offers included 200 pts for every $1 spent on the freeze pops, so multiples are the way to go to get the points.
