* No food waste last week. Not much cooking either. Sort of works that way, right? lol
* I finished using those free Secret and Old Spice coupons at Rite-Aid. I had sent away for these in February from P&G due to some lawsuit where they were giving coupons for freebies if you have recalled products. Of course I hadn't "paid" OOP monies on the defective items either. 5 free deodorants for the win!
* I went through the chest freezer and pulled out lots of items to use up if I had other fridge or shelf items to make a meal--tomato sauce from last year's garden, ground beef, steaks, ravioli. I got 4 meals with leftovers made with items I already had.
* I hit Walmart on Wednesday and bought all this for Ibotta rebates....
Not pictured is a Breakstone cottage doubles(it was eaten already)too.
I also bought a clearance toothpaste, 2 Jello boxes and had a .25¢ any receipt off from a Rite-Aid shop on Monday. Nothing OOP at Rite-Aid and $4.56 OOP at Walmart after a $1/1 Sargento Q and redeeming a $10 free gift card. I earned back $9 in regular Ibotta rebates along with a .50¢ Bonus rebate on the Jello and $5 MidWeek Moneymaker Bonus for doing 10 rebates so $10.50 back on a $4.56 expenditure. Not bad.
* I used another $10 in free gift cards to cover most of the other items in my order, including a few treats(fudge drizzled popcorn!!)and 4 of these frozen meals.......
Salmon dinners I found in a clearance bin at Walmart, marked down to $2 each. Some quick and healthy and CHEAP meals tucked into my freezer. Yes please!
* At another store I found a slew of frozen meals marked 75% off! I picked up 4 breakfast sandwich 2 packs, 5 Devour meals, 4 Benihana meals, 2 trays of multi-serve meatloaves and 2 bags of fake chicken w/Asian Orange Sauce. $89.08 worth of frozen meals for $22.27 OOP. That is at least 8 breakfasts, 17 lunch or dinners covered for under $23. Well I do have to add rice or noodles and veg to the fake chicken and sides to the Meatloaf but even so, great deals!
* I got $1.50 in post Qs at Rite-Aid on April 11th.....
Forgot to bring a coupon a couple of days before when I purchased something last week.
* A purse sized bottle of hand sanitizer for free from Rite-Aid on Wednesday...
* I finally received my replacement R-A gift cards in the mail for the multiple defective ones that wouldn't scan.
This has been a long drawn out nightmare and I am glad it's over with. Hopefully these will work and I will NEVER buy another Rite-Aid gift card again. 'Nuf said.
* I found money!
A penny last Friday at the Weis self-checkout.
Found these 2 dimes at my Rite-Aid in different locations in the store on Monday.
2 pennies, one each under a different self-checkout at Weis on April 12th.
A dime in front of my self-checkout on Wednesday at Walmart.
And then a dime in the drive-thru line at Burger King on Wednesday too. I got a Whopper with a coupon and used a free gift card too. Free food and finding money too, can't beat that with a stick! lolz
Total Found in last Week...... .43¢
Total Found This Year......$10.34
That's about all I've got for this past week.
