Another week, a few more frugal things.
Here's the skinny on what went down last week.........
* I found .02¢ last Friday at Weis(PMITA)Markets.
Then I got too much change at Mickey D's on Saturday when Kim had to make a Diet Coke run.
My change should have been .15¢ but the gal gave me .20¢ back. I had shoved it into my coat pocket and didn't look at it under we got home so I am counting that extra nickel as found money! 8-)
I made another trip to Weis on Tuesday and found more money!
A dime under the bubble gum machines. Luckily I had my cane with me to retrieve the coin and didn't have to resort to crawling under the machines. lolz
That makes .17¢ for the week. ;-)
* I got the Friday Freebie at Weis.......
a container of oatmeal. I consider this a good freebie. And it actually rung up correctly too for a change.
* I used my free Purina dog food coupon they sent me........
* I spent A LOT of money on groceries at Weis this past week. We're talking $200 worth. Ouch. But I'd rather pay $200 and get good deals we'll use than wait and pay $300 later buying this stuff at regular price.
Last Friday's trip was a mangled mess though. 4 of my Qs wouldn't scan so the cashier manually put them in.....and didn't double them.
So I had to go over to CS and get $3 back. I wanted her to put a credit on my c/c but she gave me cash before I could say something.
Then I went over my receipt and found the organic pear halves on clearance rang up full price. So I had to go back in with the pears and receipt, take a photo of the shelf tag and get a refund from CS.
One can was free($1.97 back)and the other can I got the .99¢ I overpaid back so $2.96 went back on my c/c this time.
* I had a free lunch on Thursday.
I have a Red Robin loyalty club thing so I get a free burger during my birthday month. I had water w/lemon to drink so my meal was totally FREE(except for leaving the tip-I used some of my WAM for that). I had an old Red Robin gift card so paid for Hubs meal with that.
* I paid the garbage bill last week. If it's paid in full before January is over you get a free month of service. Hey!, $28 saved is $28 saved. 8-)))
What frugal wins did y'all have this past week?
Let us know how you stay frugal......

:) A penny saved...
ReplyDeleteI was giving blood today and got an additional $50 because I've given for 8 times straight! Jackpot! Nice surprise...
I'm saving up my blood money for something REAL nice... Like paying off a credit card.
Hmmm, looks like you are coin magnet! :)
ReplyDeleteAbout the only frugal things I did this week was hold off on frivolous spending and eating out. Although, I'm going out to eat with hubby tonight. I have a $20/off coupon at a nice restaurant that I got for my birthday in November. It will be expiring soon, and I really wanted a date night. :)
You had a very productive week. I must have missed your birthday, so a belated Happy Birthday!
