Yesterday was a very sticky day with 30 + degrees celcius weather and my wonderful car decided it wouldn't start. I could hear the starter trying to turn but no ignition, the warning panels were illuminated So I knew the battery wasn't dead so I played around with the battery terminal and it started YAY! Only to not start again the second time. I tried cleaning the battery terminals with distilled water and CLR and trying to sand down the metal bits but nothing worked so I had to go get another battery from Walmart ($95) and new set of termminals ($8) and replace the whole thing. I'm glad I did it myself because the garage would have charged me $100 for the battery and at least $22 dollars for installation not including tax and terminal replacement.

I also used my $1 off pantene pro-v coupon and got a two-in one shampoo for $3.47 in stead of paying $4.37

Since I did the work myself I will add $4 to my challenge bringing my new total to $33
