5 Ways We’ve Saved Money This Week #150
What’s that??
This is the 150th edition of the 5 ways we’ve saved money this week series?? Can you believe it?
This whole thing started waaaay back in 2015 (which seems like a million years ago, but also seems like yesterday…weird) when I decided to write up a little post about the ways we managed to save money that week.
It ended up being a hit.
I guess it’s because people who love saving money are always curious about the ways other families manage it.
And if you aren’t really big on saving money, it’s nice to see that there are a few easy ways to save a little bit, especially when saving seems like this huge, impossible task.
5 Ways We’ve Saved Money This Week #149
I got to spend the weekend with my son in Washington D.C. We went with a church group, so we were able to both go for very little cost (thanks to fundraising).
What an amazing trip!
We got to see so much, including going up to the top of the Washington Monument.
That wasn’t open when our family vacationed there back in the summer of ’18, so we really enjoyed those views.
And spending so much one on one time with my sixteen year old was wonderful, too.

Why hello there!
I think it’s high time the 5 ways series makes a comeback to Medium Sized Family. Don’t you?
I know this is one of your favorite things to read on the blog. And I have always loved writing them.
It’s great for keeping me going on tough weeks. And I always need a reminder of what’s going right.
(Don’t we all??)
Last year was a rough one. And when things finally settled down, I decided to tackle a big blogging project that I’ve always dreamed of doing.
But…since I’ve never done it before, there was a steep learning curve. And the whole thing took a lot longer than I ever thought it would. (Big announcement coming soon!)
Then we started the 30 Day #Brightsaver Challenge (which, by the way, you can totally still join and not worry about being “behind” or anything). And that took some figuring out, too.
But NOW…here we are. Back at the 5 ways posts.
Are you ready for this?
5 Ways We’ve Saved Money This Week #147
This stack of movies caught my eye as I headed to check out at the library on Wednesday.
My boys are big Star Wars fans, so I picked up one or two of those movies. And there was the live action Cinderella video that I knew my daughter would love, too.
Then I noticed that all of the movies were Disney movies…and that’s when I realized what my library had done.
They were showcasing what was basically a free version of Disney+!
I had to laugh.
It’s so smart! And hopefully people will take advantage of this and save on one more monthly bill.

Because we are all huge fans of saving money, right?
And one part of the budget that we frugal fanatics love to see how low we can go is…
…groceries. (Of course!)
