Here are the few things that happened around here this past week that are considered frugal.......
* My shoe order arrived!
2 weeks ago now I ordered 4 pair of ugly shoes to wear in the house that were clearanced at 75% off from Easy Spirit.
I am actually very pleased with what they look like! The online photo(at least how it showed on my computer)showed them as peach w/grey ferns/palm fronds but IRL they are green and peach, not grey. So they aren't as butt ugly as I thought they'd be which is a bonus. The best part was the low price of $14.75 per pair for shoes with support for my feet. 8-)
* I got off of the CVS Extra Care Bucks hamster wheel this week.
The case of water I brought home was free and these wipes only cost me $2.07 OOP after sale/Q/ECBs and I earned no new ECBS back. I gave CVS a good try for most of 2020 but it's just not as good as Rite-Aid for me(and not as close by to where I live which is a factor in the Winter here)so I am done with them.
* We hit the discount outlet on Wednesday. I spent a whole $19.45--on 2 large bags of Collard Greens(.79¢ each), a box of tea($1.99), a small port wine cheese ball($1.29), 1 large box of Krusteaz cornbread mix(.89¢), a quart of macaroni salad($179), 1.09 lb. of fresh green beans(.59¢ lb.), 2.59 lb. yellow squash(.39¢ lb.), 1.82 lb. bananas(.29¢ lb.), a bag of granola(.79¢). Almost $9.00 of my OOP was spent on this though.....
6 x12 pack bags of Pirate's Booty. I know it's branded for Halloween but it's still in date for freshness.
I did a deal at Rite-Aid earlier this year because it was free. I'd never tried this snack before then and man, oh man! I love it!!! It's sort of a cross between Cheetos and popcorn(but not as salty as Cheetos which I can't stand). A 6 oz. bag of this will run you $5.99 at Weis(PMITA)Markets. These were 6 oz. bags total for $1.49 each. Sluggy for the win! lolz
* We also picked up two freebies at the discount outlet while there.....
2 bottle of Triple Sec Syrup(sorry for the blurry photo). Do I hear Margaritas calling my name this Summer?;-)
And 2 large bags of corn tortilla chips. We'll give one bag to Ex-College Boy tonight when he comes over.
Tip-even if tortilla chips or shells are stale, you can pop them in the oven to dry them out and make them crispy again.
* I hit Walmart and Weis this past weekend and finished two Ibotta Bonuses as well as all the regular Ibotta rebates....
Between the two stores I spent $53.68(that total was with using a $25 free gift card)on Ibotta/Shop Kick items, earned $62.51 back in rebates so I got paid $8.83 to bring all that home. 8-)
* I returned to Weis the next day on Sunday to get this.....
$5 because the Catalina didn't print on Saturday. I had to show the Deal from the ad on my phone(and I bought my receipt and all 6 of the items that qualified for the deal with me). Abe went into my post coupon/store refund envie to be added back into the food budget at the end of 2021.
* I found money!
Picking up an Rx at Rite-Aid on Saturday I found this penny.
While self-checking out at Walmart I saw these 2 pennies in the change return of the machine I was using.
I noticed a coin under the machine next to me so I waited until the person using it was finished and left and scoop up the dime on the left. As I turned around to leave I spied another dime about 2 feet out into the open area of the self-checkouts so that FDR went home with me too. ;-)
When I went back to Weis on Sunday to get my $5 refund for the Catalina that didn't print I spied this penny under one of the self-checkout machines.
Total Found This Week.... .24¢
Total Found This Year....$1.52
That's about all I got this week.
Any frugal wins in your world this past week?
Tell us all about them!

Love Pirates Booty-rarely get it because of cost and that I have no restraint.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good week for you, Sluggy. I like your Easy Spirit shoes. I signed up for their emails.
ReplyDeleteWe switched to Mint Mobile for phone service. Had to buy new phones but it’s $15 per month vs $45.
ReplyDeleteI found a dime in the Aldi parking lot last weekend and that’s pretty much it.

Great deal on comfortable shoes, and I think they look good.
ReplyDeleteNo rite aid here anymore, but I am jealous of your deals. I have given up on cvs too.
That pirates booty is good stuff. I tried it on a weekly deal one time. Think it may be healthier than most snacks too. But put a bag of those ritz toasted sour cream and onion chips in front of me, and I would eat the whole bag.
Hope you have a fun weekend.
Those shoes are not bad at all. I'm glad they were prettier than the picture. But, some days comfort trumps beauty.
ReplyDeleteI am envious of your shoe deal. I wear shoes in the house all the time and yours look like the prefect shoe for comfort and support. I would love to have them.
ReplyDeleteI think those shoes are really cute.
ReplyDeletedear me nothing frugal this week; we are bleeding money.
