First I want to thank everyone who wrote words of encouragement or called me yesterday because of my funk. The black dog visits me often as I age but I usually am able to sent him away quickly but not this time. It cheers me to think of how folks, many of whom I have never met IRL care and will reach out. There are just so many balls up in the air right now it's discouraging. I think I am in need of an adventure but don't know what to do just yet. I'm sure someone will think of something. ;-)
So here are a few of the frugal-ish things that happened here at Chez Sluggy this past week.......
* No online orders this past week but I did do 2 in store transactions last weekend. Mostly for vitamins, Pepcid, band-aids, Vaseline lip stuff and some items that had Ibotta rebates.
Spent $99.82 in Bonus Cash, earned back $94 in new BC, converted $23.50 into cash rebates(including a $5 Weekend Warrior Bonus). I also converted $7.25 in post coupons below to cash back in my pocket. I also submitted to J and J for 2 x $10 rebates so this week was stellar in terms of spending and saving.
* Went to Rite-Aid on Tuesday with coupons I had forgotten to bring/use last weekend when I bought some stuff. The cashier on that weekend transaction also forgot to remove and use a $2/1 hangtag Q on one of my vitamins too.
That's $7.25 back in my pocket.
* The only take-out this past week was Thursday. Hubs didn't thaw anything to cook so he opted for Chinese take-out.
* It's been unseasonably warm here this past week as well as 2 previous weeks. That means not running the heat and not needing the a/c yet and we received a lower than normal electric bill for May. Go us! 8-)
Total Found This Year......$12.92
Ok a look at the good things. You got Chinese one night which means no cooking, you found 41 cents, and folks you both know and don't know are leaving you words of encouragement. That is a wonderful thing.
ReplyDeleteQuick excitement ? Do the Hokey Pokey? (That's all I've got)
I still think you and Dan need a 7 day cruise to the House of Kim.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the funk. May is a $#ity month for me. I am always trying to figure out how to unload my rotten friend. Take a ride, see a movie, and some times have a good cry for no reason. June brings better weather and the lake.
ReplyDeleteChao cheese was on sale and Ibotta had a $2.00 rebate. Just checked and it’s available again so I’ll go back for five more by Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteNot filling the pool until June 1 when the summer water rates start. Just a few more hot days to go.

Nothing seems frugal these days other than not buying anything.
