Frugal Friday....the February 14th Edition

Another loop around to see what frugal wins we had this past week at Chez Sluggy...........

*  I got the Weis(PMITA)Markets Freebie last Friday............

A bottle of hot sauce.
Yep, this will be used. ;-)

*  I forgot to mention on last week's FF post that I had done the Weis Pepsi-Fritos-Lay Super Bowl Deal from the previous week of "Spend $25 on select P/F-L items, Get a $5 OYNO Catalina".  The Cat didn't print on the transaction that hit the $25 mark, so I got this instead at the Customer Service desk.............

It's now tucked into my refund/rebate/post coupon envie to put toward the food budget later this year.

*  I found a bunch of clearance at Dollar General last weekend.........

 All this chili came out of the food monies at .39¢ a can.

And a few things among all these toiletries also got applied to the food/toiletries spending.  The rest will be gifts, for giveaways or I might sell some of them locally once the Holidays roll around this year. ;-)

* I found money!

At the Dollar General I hit on Saturday in town.  2 pennies and 1 dime all found in different parts of the store on the floor.

And 2 pennies at the DG I hit on Saturday South of town.  One found inside and one found on the sidewalk out front.

And this pitifully rock salt encrusted penny(bet you couldn't tell it IS a penny!lol)outside the building at Rite-Aid when I went to get my drugs there for this sinus/ear gunk infection on Sunday.

I found 2 pennies when I went back to Rite-Aid to return and buy different make-up items on Tuesday...........

Both were near the check-outs.

Then at Weis(PMITA)Markets afterwards I found these 2 pennies wedged into the scanning machine at the self-checkout.................

At least I didn't have to bend over to score these two. lolz

On Wednesday I went out for awhile to hit some stores.............

I found this penny on the floor at Aldi's by the shelf where you bag your groceries.

I found 3 pennies in or outside of Walmart. (1 inside the store by a display, 1 by the soda machine outside the door and 1 next to my car in the parking lot.)

I also found another penny at Ollie's(Good Stuff Cheap!)..........

This was on the floor by the check-out register.  I saw 10 customers step over/on it while checking out before it was my turn to pick it up! lolz

Total Found Money this Week.... .20¢
Total Found Money for 2020......$42.62

*  I got all this from Rite-Aid this past week.........

Returned the 2 eye brow pencils pictured above and bought these 2.......

Spent $30.36 in BC and free gift card scrip.
Earned $24 in new BC.
I also earned .45¢ in Ibotta rebates on sll this(.25¢ Dunkin Coffee, .20¢ Buy Any Item).

*  I needed a phone case for my new phone(we changed phone companies thus new phone).  Instead of paying $20+ in the store for one I liked I ordered this one through Amazon............

of course, it's Purple!!! lolz  
And I used a piece of an Amazon gift card(that was a gift)so free.

*  Hubs and I went out to lunch on Thursday to Bob Evan's.  I got my big salad with chicken and Hubs also got a big salad.  I almost fell over when he ordered one as he NEVER does. *thud*

I used a $5 off wyspend $25 Q which covered the tip.  The waitress also gave me a full to-go cup of iced tea when I asked for a cup to take the rest of my tea refill home.  A cup and a refill in the restaurant plus a full to-go cup of tea meant my $2.79 tea cost less than $1 a cup in the end.  ;-)

*  Best deals last week..............

Marked down whole roaster chickens with $3 off instant discount stickers as well, made the cost less than .52¢ a lb.
Then there was all this at Weis(PMITA)Markets....

 And all this at Walmart........

After Ibotta rebates I "spent" $14.90 w/sales tax for all that.

On Wednesday I bought what's pictured above at a different Weis that's larger than ours.
All these items(plus a second package of Ball jars I forgot to put in the photo)gave me a total of $8.75 in Ibotta rebates($1 Spaghettios, 2 x $1.25 Ball jars, .50¢ Propel water, .75¢ Musselman's, 4 x $1 Oral-B toothbrushes). I also earned the .50¢ Feb. Level 1 Bonus and the $10 Cupid Love Bonus so $19.25 back in rebate monies.

$15.56 OOP after $9 in ManuQs(well $7.56 really because the ball jars don't come out of the food budget) so after sales/Qs/rebates I spent negative $11.69 on all this. 8-)))

The best were the toothbrushes that were on sale for $1.89 each, gave $1 Ibotta rebate cred each and there was a $6/4 Crest items Weis digital Q!
$7.96-$6Q=$1.96-$4 Ibotta rebate= -$2.44. for the toothbrushes. 8-)))

That's about all I can remember frugal that happened last week.
