RICE update: Achievement so far

So, how do we intend to practically follow our RICE plan?

Here's what we've done so far:
1. Cut electricity costs by unplugging switches (we have lots of gadgets) in the day when they are not in use.
2. Turn off my computer from 11am-8pm, 10pm-7am. So I use it for 6 hours a day.
3. Use cloths to clean up kids after meals instead of paper towels
4. Enrolled in moneysaving mom's Supermarket 101 course.
5. Started our Walgreening.
6. Applied for CVS card.
7. Try to rewear wearable clothes to cut down laundry
8. Eat out less (not that we've eaten out a lot, but we've been trying to cook instead of eat out for Sunday dinners)
9. Sit outside in balcony after meals (a real enjoyment)
10. Plan meals according to on sale items

And today I started writing out our R.I.C.E plan and clutter control plan. We're rolling up our sleeves!

Beginning of the Journey

How did this all begin? 2 Colgate toothpastes.

I learnt from a website that I can get colgate toothpastes for almost free. I cannot believe it. After following instructions, legitimately, I did. So, I went on to the bigger deal. Diapers.
Supposedly, done right, I can get diapers for free too. We tried it. And it worked.

How's $-0.43 for more than 100 diaper sound to you? Not only did we get the diapers for free, we made 43cents out of it. We didn't believe it until we did it.

Hubby and I are on fire! We started to want to do this seriously.
Thank you, Crystal in moneysaving mom, an amazing Christian homemaker, for your wonderful site.
First step. Research. We're going to start learning from Crystal.
So, from Jul 21 to end of the month, we're going to do a supermarket savings course (online) and we're going to do a lot of planning.
This is way too exciting!! Let's see what happens after August!!
