Welcome to Frugal Friday!
There are a few Frugal win this past week......
* Didn't go anywhere except to wound care, Walmart and lunch on Wednesday this past week. We went to a Catfish house after my appointment. Some much food we didn't need dinner so that's a win, right?
* While we were out Wednesday I had Hubs swing by Ollie's to return a curtain I had bought there on the 1st of Feb. Remembering to make returns before the 30 day window closes is a win. I figured I had fabric already to make a curtain for the front door glass(and I've picked it out from my stash)so that's frugal! Now I just have to finish setting up my sewing stuff and make it. ;-)
* The freebies/moneymakers or almost freebies from last week's grocery trips---
Nice.
* Hubs bought new interior door handles for 2 of the bedrooms to replace the exterior door handles there were on those doors. Inexpensive to replace ourselves vs. paying a handyman to do this.
* I found money!
Oh yes I did!

Welcome to Frugal Friday!
There are a very few Frugal win this past week......
* Didn't go anywhere except to wound care this past week and a trip last Friday to Walmart(where I got to run over people with their motorized carts). I guess staying home all week is frugal(ie-not spending money)but it's boring as hell!
* The freebies/moneymakers or almost freebies from last week's grocery trips---
* 1 free Zero Sugar Starry soda(no photo because I drank it already)
* I had Hubs run out on Tuesday to Super 1 Foods for ice cream........
* Hubs gave me a $200 gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond for Christmas. Not a wise move if you ask me as they've been having financial diffculties. Of course, this week BBB announced they were closing the local to us store and my leg is in no condition to spend it at the store anyway. So I went online and spent it on necessities for the house-a cabinet to put my printer on and store supplies in, a runner for the top of the buffet(I only have a Turkey day and Xmas one so need something for Spring/Summer), another set of shelving for the laundry/utility room so I can keep pantry goods on, and a stainless steel set of cookware. We still can't find the lids to my All-Clad cookware and Hubs thinks that box got tossed in the move. On sale and with a coupon this set was about $50. I am hoping these lids fit my regular set, if not, I'll have to use these new pans/pots when I need a lid on it. sigh Of course, once the new set arrives we'll find the box of lids, right? Never fails........
Anyway, I used the gift card up before they go out of business and got some good deals on things we needed.
* This past week in honor of Super Bowl Subway was running a BOGOFree deal on subs(It ends today, use code FLBOGO). We did the deal twice this past week using a gift card I bought at Dollar General around Thanksgiving that was discounted by 20% making it better than half price. Double win there. 8-)
* I found money!
Nope. Only went to the Wound Care on Wednesday and home again. Did make a quick trip last Friday to Walmart though. No money at Walmart even. 8-(

Welcome to Frugal Friday!
There are a few Frugal win this past week......
* I had Hubs pick up these Rind dried fruit snacks...........
There was a BOGO offer on them at Kroger on Ibotta and then an Aisle texting app rebate offer(yes Aisle is back in a way-less rebates). I submitted for both so Free! I believe this deal is still available if you haven't done it yet.
* The freebies/moneymakers or almost freebies from last week's grocery trips other than the Rind products---
* 2 Core protein bars for only .18¢ each
* 3 travel size Old Spice body wash bottles for moneynakers
* Bic Easy Rinse razor for free

Yes I did.

* On Thursday we got a $40 refund check from Hubs eye doctor in PA as they overcharged us for something. That puppy is going right into the bank though Hubs thinks he should buy beer with it. Not on my watch darling as you just bought two bottles of wine. ;-)
That's about all I've got for this past week.

Now that we are living on an annuity, 401K$ withdrawals and social security payments, I am still going to keep track of our monthly spending and income, and hopefully we'll still be able to live BELOW our means and I'll have some leftover monies each month to tuck aside.
I am trying to be as transparent as I can with how much is coming in and how much is going out. 8-)Sluggy
