Need your car washed but only have 2 dollars- Follow my tips!

I think I am broke again. After paying for maintenance on my car, I think I just call it what it is. Although because I own a Honda it's not to bad, but hey I am spending more money in my mind than anything! Regardless, on this venture I ended up finding out a new way to save money. By going to my dealership I get a fee car wash. Normally, I only go to do an oil change just for the free car wash. But if you are hip, like me, you can actually get an entire car wash for less than 2 bucks and here is how! Simply go to a place (dealership, kwick kar) that gives you a complimentary oil change. Afterwards, count your pennies and head over to your local car wash place and simply vacuum and add your own fragrance.

I have my own small bottle of armor oil which cost a dollar at the car wash (I still have it!). If you want an adventure like me, I actually go to some of these new 5dollar car wash places and just simply ask if I can quickly vacuum or pay to do it. I have done this several times, and normally they don't care and are super busy. See it's really simple!

Saks Savings for those who are blessed with pennies

One of my favorite blogs is Imagemaven. While I know the writer personal, I enjoy the writers sassy and honest feedback on how to be fashionably chic on dimes and pennies. Check out her recent entry. I haven't figured out if I will join her on this quest, but I can imagine that it would be a similar sell to the one Plato's closet. Anyway, check out her listing below for a good saving for those who love Saks Fifth Avenue. 

I just found out there is a sale at Saks Off Fifth! I know most of you guys are like so what, they are still expensive anyway…but wait till you hear this. It’s a buy one clearance item and get another clearance item (of equal or lesser value) for free. Yea, I said free.  The sale is going on until August 10. Don’t be surprised if you see me there under a mountain of clothes

Free Dumplings- The Mint or Asian Mint

I have seen a lot of great reviews on the place called The Mint. I haven't made it over there yet, but I will very soon especially with the new coupon I just received. So, I am passing my findings on to you all! Let me know how they taste. I will write an update on how it goes as well. From what I have heard, it is like PF Chang's but for the Asian and sushi lovers. Also I just found out they have dollar sushi night on Monday and Tuesday nights!

Free whataburger- Just like you like it!

Hey guys, if you are in the DFW or Texas area you must love Whataburger. Although, I am currently trying to lose some weight and eat a bit healthy, I am very tempted to get this free Whataburger deal! My favorite is Whataburger on wheat bun, with Mayo, ketchup, and mustard, lots of veggies and if I have the money i splurge on some cheese! But what makes this meal perfect is the Dr. Pepper. Something about the DP there is amazing!!
