Let's see what frugalness happened around here this past week......
* I hit the bread outlet.
$10.95 for 4 loves of bread, 2 bags of rolls, 2 boxes of donuts and 3 bags of English muffins(cranberry!). I spent $10 or more so I got a free bag of whole grain English muffins too.
Bought at reg. retail in the grocery store this all would have cost $47.49. Even on sale at the grocery store it would have been around $29+/-.
* I sent Hubs up for the Friday Freebie on the 12th........
A 2 lb. sack of flour. Something I can always use so free was good!
* I did a big shop at Weis(PMITA)Markets last weekend before we left on our trip. Here are the highlights.......
The Kraft expertly paired cheese bags were on sale for $2(must buy at least 3-I bought 5). I had a $1.25 cash rebate on Ibotta for these, up to 5 bags so they were .75¢ each in the end.
The tv dinners were on sale $1.99 each and I had a .75¢ cash rebate on Ibotta for these so $1.24 each in the end.
The Breakstone sour cream were $1.50 on sale and I had a .50¢ cash rebate on Ibotta for these so $1.00 each in the end.
I also had a coupon in a recipe book available at Weis for $1/1 Larabar. The Larabars were $1 last week so this was free after coupon.
* I found money on Tuesday.........
Hubs and I were in line at an Ollie's(Good Stuff Cheap!)in Delaware when I spied this dime on the floor in our cashier line. I reluctantly must say that I almost shoved the shopping cart violently into Hubs to get him to "move outta the way!" so I could pick this up before anyone else spied it. Then I remembered that Kim wasn't with us and I took my time getting to it then. lololz
* And speaking of good buys at Weis, I picked up these two pork butts before we left town too(part of that big shop I did at Weis mentioned above)......
These were .97¢ per lb.! Haven't seen that price in something like 15 years around here so I grabbed two(making sure the sell by/use by date was long enough)and will be smoking these this week when we get a warmish day.
Then they will be finished off in the crock pot, shredded and the meat portioned out into freezer bags for the chest freezer for eating in 2019.
* I don't remember if I mentioned this or not before........
My free EOS/Special K lip balm arrived.
* We stopped at Walmart on the way to our vacation spot and picked up breakfast food, drinks and munchies. We ate breakfast in the room each day and only ate 1 big meal out(dinner the first night/late lunch the second night)to save money. Much more cost effective to not be eating out for every meal. 8-)
* The last of the basil got pulled up the day before we left town.
I dried it in the oven and ended up with 2 small mason jars of dried basil.
In the background in that shot is also the last of the tomatoes we picked before we left and the weather turned much colder. Now I have to tally up the grand total of what we harvested from the garden this past season.
* And finally look at what arrived in the mail..........
My seasonal 15% off purchase coupon for being part of the "Ollie's Army". We'll figure out how we plan to use this in early November to get the best value from it.
That's about it here. Sorry I am so late with this but I didn't even open the computer a couple of days and the internet was not optimal anyway and who wants to be online when this is the sight out your front door................
What frugal stuff did you do this past week? Tell us all about it.

Scored 5 bags of Kettle chips during a weekend sale for $.99 each.
ReplyDeleteFamily came to visit and I forced them to eat my home cooked food. My uncle wanted to go out but I saved him $100 easily for a single dinner. He insists on paying and the kids order ridiculous amounts of food. No one starved and the kids actually had fun cooking with me.

I used to have an Entenmann's outlet down the street. One of the saddest days of my life when it closed. DH was even sadder. Our freezer used to be crammed full of crumb cakes and doughnuts and bread. Alas, no more.
ReplyDeleteI hear pork butts are inexpensive yet with good treatment makes fine eating.
ReplyDeleteYou did well, as usual. I think the only free thing I received was a tiny Oreo candy bar from the Freosk at WM. Surprisingly, it was delicious, unlike Oreo cookies.
ReplyDeleteAwesome bargains at the bread outlet. Wish I had one here.

Donuts with out me? Sob. I so would have had that dime first.
ReplyDeleteI would gave a ton if I had that bread outlet near bye. We love Entenmanns. You did really well. I am almost finished with my Special K lip balm.
