Frugal Friday...the July 30th Edition

 Frugal wins here at Chez Sluggy this past week came and went.  Here are the highlights.......

*  The Freeosk machine in Walmart was actually dispensing samples this week.....


Cinnamon mini tarts.  No one has tried them yet so the jury is still out on this product.

*  I found money!


Last Saturday I got a drink at Burger King while I was out pillaging a R-A.  These 3 coins were stuck into the asphalt next to my car at the drivee-thru.  Since the cashier was slow at running my gift card I hopped out of the car and pried them off the driveway.  There were more coins more embedded into the asphalt so next time I'll bring a screwdriver with me! lol


Found this lot around the store at my Rite-Aid and in the foyer there on Monday.



This penny was found on Tuesday at CVS by the register.


Back to R-A for Rx refills on Wednesday and found this lot of coins.


The 3 coins to the left were found again at my R-A on Thursday.  The coin on the right I don't remember where.....Weis maybe or Walmart?  It's been a long week and I can't recall....

Total Found This Week... .32¢
Total Found This Year...$12.78

*  I actually went to CVS(if you saw the penny I got there above)on Tuesday.  I had a freebie digital Q for acetaminophen or ibuprofen but their truck hadn't come in yet this week.
But I did use a $5 off any ice cream digital Q and brought home a pint of my favorite Ben and Jerry's flavor(Cherry Garcia).  It only cost me $1.29.  I'd pay that all day long for this flavor. 8-)))
And speaking of CVS this ECB printed out when I bought the ice cream......
An ECB for THREE CENTS!
Seriously?  What the hell am I suppose to do with that?!?! lolz


*  I've been trying to keep ahead of the cukes and zukes from the garden.

Last Weekend I made pickles.  I need to add more cukes to this jar once we eat these.

And the zukes have made appearances at the table(so far)as tempura spears, in a tomato based dish with lemon pepper chicken and in this......


I had leftover carrot shreds to use up so I shredded 1/3 of a zuke too and threw that into the mixture and voila!....carrot cake.  So moist and full of fruits and veg and nuts it doesn't need frosting.
I see more tempura spears, grilled zuke, a zuke gratin casserole and stuffed zuke waiting in the wings to make their appearances. ;-)

That's about it for the highlights besides some Rite-Aid pillaging(4 cans of Friskies for a $6+ moneymaker? Yes please!).


How was your week?  Any good deals or frugal wins??
Hope y'all have a good weekend!

  1. I still have the check from Walgreens for $0.21 that I never remember to take to them when I pick up meds. It has probably expired. They spent more on postage than the check.

  2. I received a boring box full of good stuff and my cat is still enjoying the box. It was a tight squeeze but she wedges her chunky self in there. Sluggy has pictures that can be shared if she wants to make Zima famous.
