So emergency surgery has come and gone but in it's wake my blogging has taken a back seat. Here are two weeks worth of Frugal Friday posts, not that there is a lot to report in on. ;-)
* First off, I forgot this the week before......
Freebie samples of toothpaste and mouthwash from my dental cleaning. yay.
* I found money!
Saturday October 3rd I found this dime at Rite-Aid.
The next day I went to get an Rx at Rite-Aid and found this penny in the pharmacy area.
The AS time(after surgery time)week, I got skunked and found no money from the 4th until now. 8-(
Of course I didn't leave the house for most of that time either.
Found change this post..... .11¢
Found change this year so far...$49.25
* I also found this in the parking lot at Weis(PMITA)Markets on the 2nd. It was there when I went inside and I told myself if nobody takes it or runs it over by the time I go back to my car, I'm picking it up(using a wipe of course).
It's a very nice quality ballpoint retractable pen with he Subaru logo on it. It looked brand new.
* Not much grocery shopping my first week home. Hubs ran out to Weis for instant mashed potatoes and bananas and got this at the register.....
$2 off your next shopping order from Nature Valley. Umm, I haven't bought anything Nature Valley at Weis in months if not a year but ok! lolz It has since been used on more bananas. ;-)
* I brought home some deals from Rite-Aid.....
The Nivea stuff was 2 sales cycles ago that I hadn't gotten around to mentioning. Got $4 BC wyspent $15 plus I used ManuQs and got $4 back on Ibotta for the shave gels.
I got the free Crest/Oral-B stuff(chose a toothbrush and dental floss)using Qs and getting BC back on Sunday Oct. 4th. I only did it on one card because Hello! Hospital so I didn't go back to R-A that week to max the deal out.
On Thursday I drove myself to Rite-Aid(first trip since surgery)and did the GenTeal drops on son's card(used $3.24 on a gift card and rolled all his Bonus Cash)and got $18 back in new BC.On my card I did the Carefree Deal, spent $4.34 in BC after 20% Wellness Discount and $3/2 ManuQ and got $4 in Ibotta rebates.
On daughter's card I got the 2 x tampons, paid $4.58 in BC after 20% Wellness Discount and $5.00 in Qs($3/1 L2CQ, $2/1 ManuQ)and earned $8 in Ibotta rebates.
I also earned a $1 Ibotta Bonus called "Edgewell" because both the Playtex and the Carefree qualified for that.
So I rolled and convert BC.
I also got this at Weis(PMITA)Markets while I was out that day.......
Weis currently has a "spend $15/Get $5 off instantly" on some Dove items.
These cost $7.69 each so $15.38, I got $5 off so $10.38. I used 2 x $2/1 Dove men's body wash IPQs so I paid $6.38 OOP. Then I got $4 back on Ibotta(2 x $2 Dove men's body wash)so these ended up costing me $1.19 each. Not bad.
* I missed out on a $10 and a $5 Ibotta Bonus while I was incapacitated so when another $5 Weekend Warrior Bonus popped up on Thursday I had Hubs take me to Walmart on Friday......
The Oikos drink and the Core bar were free after rebates.
The Schar cookies were a .36¢ moneymaker.
The Danimals probiotic drinks would have been free had I activated the SavingStar rebate before it disappeared(boo)but I need them and they were only .88¢ after Q and Ibotta.
I had a $4/1 Bella dog food Q so after that and $1.50 rebate that was only .245¢ for each container.
Renuzits were $1.91 total, the Keebler crackers were $1.18, the Ultra Powerade was .70¢ and the 2 reg. Powerades were .52¢ each.
I happened to see those seasonal Starbucks coffee bags(Pecan and Maple flavor)on a clearance shelf for $3.15. I found an Ibotta rebate for $1.25 a bag on my app so at $1.90 per bag they were coming home with me! (They will probably find their way into Xmas stockings.)
Ex-College Boy came over for dinner last night so 3 of the drinks and the packs of cookies are gone already.
I used my last $5 Walmart gift card on this so it came to $22.38 OOP and I earned $23.92 on Ibotta between the regular rebates, $5 WW Bonus and a .50¢ Powerade Bonus.
I wanted to get the free Star Wars cereal and the free Fake Beef patties but my store had neither. Even so I did ok.
Keep on Keepin' on being Frugal my Friends.
