Welcome to Frugal Friday!
There are very few Frugal wins this past week......
* I was well enough now to go get my handicap placard.
In PA your doctor filled out the form and you mailed it in to Harrisburg and they mailed you a tag and a little flimsy paper ID card. Here you have to make an appointment, go into an OMV location, turn in your doc paper and get your hangtag or special license plate. I thought, "Oh gosh, this is going to take all day!", because I KNOW what it's like to have to go to the OMV(it's Office of Motor Vehicles here not DMV). We either hit it lucky at the location or time of day because it went quickly and we were out of there in 20 minutes. I had to pay a whole $3.00($2.50+a .50¢ processing fee)and they took my picture and issued me a driver's license quality ID card to carry as well as a hangtag like the one picture above.
* I noticed the air filter light was on in the ginormous fridge in this house. I jumped online to scope out what we needed to buy to replace them and Mr. Bezos brought them quick as a quarter note and at the best price. Disaster averted.
* Went to Trivia at the burger joint but we didn't win a gift card(again). But we did have the gift card from the week before last and still got free burgers for dinner(and they have a free pickle bar!).
* I went to a brewery with Daughter for their trivia night on Wednesday. (The Office themed trivia.) She is an "Office" aficionado! Hell I birthed all 3 of my kids at a hospital in Scranton, PA. lol I think I got 3 answers right but she had us in 3rd place going into the 3rd Bonus round. She didn't know the last Bonus question so we finished out of the gift card money. She only missed that question and 1 other one in the other rounds. 8-(
She did buy me a beer however. Gosh 2 glasses of alcohol in one week! I am turning into such a lush. lol
* One of the teeth I had dental work on over the last 3 months was having an issue so I got an appointment on Thursday at the ass crack of dawn to have it looked at before we lose our dental insurance on Sunday. It could be 3 possible issues, the best outcome is that just it's taking time for the tooth, filling and liner to "play nice" so they did no additional work on it for now. Worst case scenario, if it turns out to need a root canal/crown they will apply what we paid on the filing to reduce the cost of that procedure. whoopie. If that comes to pass I'll get dental insurance before we schedule for that work. So just a small co-pay for the "Look See" appointment on Thursday.
And yet again I'd like to thank my father for giving me the genes that make my teeth such a problem.* I like to say I got all my interesting ancestry from my mother and my crappy teeth from my father. 8-)
* No grocery shopping this week. Eating from what we have and no food waste so far. Yippee!
* I found money!
My only find was this..........
Two pennies at the brewing on Trivia night I went to with my daughter. Found on the floor there.
Total Found in last Week.... .02¢
Total Found this Year.......$1.67
That's all for this past week.
Any frugal wins in your neck of the woods? Let's hear all about them!
Sluggy
Why on earth do you need disabled parking? You go on cruises, eat burgers and drink beer. Just get healthy and walk the extra steps. Yeesh.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me, my medical history or the diseases I've had since almost birth. You don't know what I eat on a regular basis and what I am capable of doing physically(and yes, I do walk a ton until my knee blew out so STFU and go away!
DeleteI agree!
DeleteIt is so easy to be an a-hole when you leave no identifiers
DeleteSluggy: that mean person sounds like the same one who used to comment on a couple of other blogs.
DeleteI noticed that those bloggers started requiring emails to get comments published so the hateful commenter could no longer comment without an email.
There is nothing wrong with drinking a beer, eating a burger, and your health is no one else’s business anyway. Cindy in the South
Cindy, Blogger only gives you 3 settings: anyone can comment, only members of the blog(whatever that means)or only folks who have google accounts. I don't want to exclude none google account holders and they don't let you block specific IPs. There is a blog writer I've followed for YEARS and she moved to WordPress and set it up so only WordPress members can comment so I can't comment and talk to her anymore and I can't LHK I can't comment. lol
DeleteIf only y'all could see the nasty troll comments I get that I don't publish! They are so much worse.
My teeth suck also because if really bad genes and I am terrified of the dentist. I do go though, far,far more often than I go to the doctor. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteMy father was terrified of the dentist too(with good reason). I get it!
DeleteMedium grade A eggs were $1.76/dozen, but I got eggs even cheaper.
ReplyDeleteFrugal wins here this week? Ha! The Parkinson fundraiser took care of anything remotely frugal.
ReplyDeleteI got a wonderful bargain today: Sam's Club had marked down Tikka Masala sauce to about $2....for a 3-pack!
ReplyDeleteI bought 8 3-packs.
(Our Kroger Tikka Masala sauce is about $3 each jar.)
Dang, that's a deal if you use Tikka Masala!
DeleteDH commented, "Are we going to have chicken Tikka every 2 weeks for 6 months? Or are you going to serve it every day and we'll be done with it all in a month!?"
DeleteI found a quarter the other day in the parking lot and immediately thought of you :-)
ReplyDeleteYou may have some readers who truly care about your health but perhaps don’t express it very well. 🫣. But the sentiment may be wishing for you to take good care of yourself
ReplyDeleteDee in Ontario (ca)
I went to Kroger for the $3.99 watermelons and found 3 pound bags of heirloom navel oranges for $.99. Picked up 6 bags since they last quite a while and I usually eat two per day.
