Here are our frugal wins for this past week....
* I love finding marked down foods at Kroger(this really doesn't happen at Walmart). I found some lo-cal Swoon drinks, some Perfect bars on sale that also had Ibotta rebates, some marked down salads and Brussels Sprouts.
* We used up some pantry items as well. Had to buy Marsala wine for a dish I made but that will be used up before we leave here.
* We also had food waste last week. I went against my instincts and bought a large sweet potato at a store I don't trust to have the freshest produce. Well I went to pick that tater up last week to peel it and my hand nearly went right through it, it was so rotten. Lesson learned.
* There was no eating out this past week.
* While grocery shopping I picked up some items for the food bank we donate to. It wasn't much cash out of hand but helps folks struggling here out and makes us feel good.
Spending money on groceries not for us isn't frugal but it certainly is frugal for others. Especially if it's toiletries or paper goods which they can't use EBT/Snap benefits on.
* It's been warm here so the heat has been off during the day. We even had the a/c on one day it was so warm.
* Entertainment last week was free tv, YouTube watching, doing genealogy or reading.
* I found money!
I found a penny in my pants pocket.
While at Walmart on Wednesday I kept finding change in the store. A penny here, a dime there, 2 pennies at a self-checkout nobody was using, another penny at yet another checkout and then 2 more pennies in the vestibule when I was leaving.
Then a quarter at Aldi's under where the carts are parked outside.
Found Money This Week.....42¢
Grand Total Found this Year.......$1.11
That's all I got.

Yuck on the sweet potato. That is a lot of coins.
