Frugal Friday......the July 24th Edition

After my "Alexander Day", let's see if I can salvage some frugality for this past week......


* I went to Dollar General again last Saturday to use another $5 when you spend $20 weekend digital Q.......
Not pictured from that shop are a jug of Gain and a ice cream that cost me .01¢ after digital Q, 2 Febreeze air fresheners, 2 Herbal Essence shampoos and 2 Aussie shampoos.
After assorted Qs and the $5 off $25 DGQ here is the cost breakdown--
Suave body wash .79¢
Suave shampoo $1.30 each(before $10 back on Checkout 51)
Febreeze $1.19 each
Gain detergent $1.54
Ice cream .01¢
HE shampoo .84¢ each
Aussie shampoo $1.58 each
Head and Shoulders small shampoo .34¢ each
BioFreeze pain patch -.25¢
Welch's fruit snacks -.11¢ each
Tum's roll .79¢
Greeting Cards .01¢ each

My total was $17.66 for after all the qs.



*  I submitted the DG receipt for those 5 Suave shampoos and earned $10 on Checkout51 too.

* I found money!

Hubs and I were in Walmart this past Saturday.........

.  As we walked out I found a penny and he also found a penny and gave it to me!



In CVS on Wednesday I found a penny as I walked in by the register counter and that was the ONLY good thing about Wednesday. lolz

Total Change found this week. .03¢
Total Change found this year....$46.93

*  I received my last two $5 Walmart gift cards for doing the Listerine Deal at Rite-Aid a few weeks back.......




That makes $15 in free Walmart gift cards.

*  While not necessarily frugal we bought a reclining love seat this past week.....

We visited enough furniture stores and made a decision.  This one ticked all the boxes AND was less expensive(by $400)than the one we initially were going to go with and it has lumbar support and adjustment(important for us old geezers).
It also has a battery back-up in case of power outages so I won't get trapped in the chair. lol
I have to wait another month for it to be delivered and I can't wait!

*  At Walmart last Saturday I picked up items to finish my $15 PandG rebate and work on another Ibotta bonus..........

The Olay body wash was $3.42 after Q and Ibotta, the specialty toothpaste was $2.42 each after Q and Ibotta and the Bic razor was -$1.08 after Q and Ibotta. 8-)

* On Tuesday eldest came with me to Schiff's restaurant supply to pick up a pork butt to smoke.  It was $1.29 lb. which was the best price around.  Got that smoked on Thursday and put into the crockpot overnight to finish off so we'll be having bbq this evening for dinner.

*  We celebrated eldest's birthday earlier this week and I made the cake.  I can't believe he's 29 years old now!


And I gave him this gag Xmas gift early so he can use it during the holidays.
A blazer and tie with skiing Santa hat wearing kitties.  It's sooo ugly!
(And I got it for 75% off after last Xmas of course.)
PS-He got a nice gift too.

That's all for now.  I am way behind since I haven't been online much with eldest son visiting and with my medical issues still.  I finally got the doc to order me an Rx this morning for the UTI the lab work confirmed almost 2 days ago. ugh.
I'll feel like my old self soon now.  yay!


How is everyone else's week going in the Frugal Department?
Let us here all about it!

  1. Ah, you remembered Meg's story and went for the back-up. And, how is ghat for love. He gave you his penny. BBQ pork sounds delicious, but I have a feeling pork is one of my trigger foods for my throat-there are a lot of coincidences of episodes related to eating some sort of pork food. Which makes me sad. I'm eliminating it for now while i monitor and will reintroduce in another several weeks.

  2. I love the Christmas attire. Hey, wait until you have two in their 50s like I do. It is sobering. What kind of cake is that. It looks good. That was nice of hubs to give you a penny, really nice! I had a doctor wait to give me my meds for uti. What is their problem?

  3. Are you rolling your coins and turning them in for the coin shortage. The coins in my jar have been turned in to the tune of 215.00. I still have some left that would not be complete rolls, so I guess I am starting all over.
    Glad to hear you are feeling more like yourself and still chasing (and finding) bargains!

  4. Good deal on those Walmart gift cards. The smoked butt sounds delicious. I hope you enjoy it. I like the ugly Christmas outfit for your son. Sounds like you had another good week and I hope you are feeling like your old self again soon

  5. Happy belated birthday to your son.

    Great scores. I keep reading about people getting great deals at DG. I need to go check it out.

  6. I like the cat blazer! Amazon doesn’t have any but I’ll buy one if I see it. 😁

    Nothing here but a trip to Kroger. Bugles were $.99 and lentils $.69 per pound in the clearance section. I submitted Ibotta rebates for $1.75 but it says $3.75 pending. Must be a bonus that I didn’t notice?

  7. Glad you found a chair/recliner that works for you! I am going through my pantry to see what's hiding to make sure I don't double buy.
