Here are the few frugal wins from this past week.......
* We picked a contractor to renovate our main bathroom and he started this past week, 3 weeks earlier than expected. I forgot to take before photos but here are some in process ones......
This has always been a dreary looking bathroom as it's on the North side of the house.Tan everything with an oak vanity. bleh.
Here's where the mirror/cabinet will go. He had to enlarge the hole in the wall for it....
Everything leaving is out and everything going in is here except the tub surround. The new floor will really help this all come together. And he should be finished by next Friday, I can't wait!
The reason I am calling this reno frugal is because his bid was was less than the others. He's a one man operation and doesn't have to pay a big crew and his quote included the cost of all the "appliances" while the other quotes were at least $2K MORE plus we had to pay for the sink/toilet/tub/mirror/lights/etc. too! The only thing we'll need to do after it's finished is paint the walls in there. If this goes well and we are pleased with the work we'll have him redo the powder room downstairs too. At this point we aren't in a big hurry to get it done so a one man operation works for us plus Hubs can lend a hand if needed.
* We finally had to ditch our deck swing. It lasted a long time but rust and weather finally made it unusable. We found a new one to replace it at Wayfair.
* I ordered from Rite-Aid online on Sunday. They were offering $15 Bonus Cash when you spent $50 plus there were a $10 off code on an online order this week.
* I found money!
Two whole cents for the week.........
A penny at my Rite-Aid.
And another penny at the Clueless Rite-Aid. lol
And that's about it for this past week. Except for working on getting ready for a Stockpile Sale, hopefully next weekend if the weather cooperates. ;-)
What frugal wins did y'all have lately?!

WOW I think it is going to look so nice, I can't wait to see it. I love the color of the swing, wish I was there to sit out on the deck with you and Dan.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a terrific week, Sluggy. How neat that you are getting a bathroom remodel. I hope he works out well and can do your other bathroom too.
ReplyDeleteGetting a bathroom remodel is great. Hopefully, all happens to your satisfaction.
ReplyDeletea new loo!
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
what color are you painting it? I hate the color in my bathroom. The wheelchair bathroom is great, it's periwinkle.
