Clean dog and new shoes on the cheap

April 4, 2009. Johnny always says... is my blog that will hopefully inspire you to be creative and frugal.

Hint o' the day.
Use rebate forms. When you get the check put it in your savings account. My best example is to accumulate enough in my rebate savings account to take the dog to the groomer. It's pretty sweet to have a cleaned up pooch done by a professional and I don't have to take it out of the weekly budget. Another goal of mine is to replace my workout shoes on a regular basis. Can be expensive but if you keep an eye on the flyers you can really save some dough. I had saved a $30 gift card from JC Penney from xmas. The flyer this week had the brand I like for workout shoes for $29.99. The flyer also had a 15% coupon. Free shoes, and a better workout because I won't be clomping around in wornout out shoes. You KNOW how awesome it is to have new shoes.
