Welcome to Frugal Friday!
There are a few Frugal wins this past week......
* I got my steroid shot in my knee so I can walk again. I hope it lasts long enough for me to get through the cruise in May/June.
* Hubs birthday was Wednesday and I took him out to Texas Roadhouse. Zero out of pocket as I used old gift cards we brought from PA.
* Did some grocery shopping before Easter and got some good great deals.....
5 lbs. of butter for $2.49 each, 1 lb. of OM bacon for $2.99(sale price Q + $2/1 digital Q)
I got a ribeye roast for $4.97 lb. after $2.02 off per lb. Q(they were selling ribeye steaks for $6.99 lb. so I can cut my own steaks from this roast and save $2.02 per lb.). I also got a good sized Cook's ham butt for .89¢ per lb. for Easter as our Daughter and Son in-law are coming over. I'll have plenty leftover to cut into ham steaks or for sandwiches to put in the freezer. I also got 3 lbs. of 80% ground beef which I'll probably make into meatballs tomorrow or tonight for the freezer.
I hit the clearance bins on Tuesday at Kroger and found a pair of pillar candles for $1.50(lots of storms here in the Spring so good to have for power outages)and 2 jugs of He type Tide marked down to $1.60 each.
The Duke's mayo was $2.49 OOP after sale and Ibotta rebate, the Finish was a $3.57 moneymaker after sale price, Coupons and Ibotta and the Splenda was .99¢ after sale price, Q and Ibotta. I stocked up on some loss leaders as well since there were lots the week before Easter.
* I bought 2 gift cards at Dollar General last Saturday, one for Taco Bell(for Hubs)and 1 for Zaxby's as they were 10% off. Some stores discount certain gift cards right before holidays like Christmas, Easter, etc. Since we/he eats at those places why not get that 10% off by buying gift cards when they offer these deals, right?
* I saw a local orthopedic surgeon on Tuesday about having a knee replacement later this year. My insurance has a program where if I use one of their elite surgeons around the country for a joint replacement it is free for the surgery plus they pay for the transportation costs, hotels, meals, etc. If I use a local doctor in network I'll still have co-pays but I need a local surgeon to recommend(do the paperwork, x-rays, etc.)so we took care of that bit of it.
* I found money!
On Tuesday we went to an orthopedic surgeon for a consult and current x-rays. I found a penny by the elevator.
Total Found in last Week.... .01¢
Total Found this Year.......$1.02
That's all for this past week.
Any frugal wins in your neck of the woods? Let's hear all about them!
Sluggy
I have been on a cane all week because of bad back issues so nothing frugal to report. I just hobble to work, judge lets me sit down and speak in microphone bc no way can I stand constantly. I drag myself to work and then go home and soak in tub. The back has put pressure on my already questionable knees. My walks I do for exercise are out. I can barely make it inside the building. Getting old is not for the weak. My son say I am crabby so I guess I should sign myself as Crabby Cindy in the South… lol
ReplyDeleteI had a total knee replacement Dec.2021. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself.
ReplyDeleteI had double knee replacement 3 years ago...the improvement in my quality of life is outstanding. I still keep my surgeon in my prayers ... and I pray for his patients -- that they have the same splendid outcome I did. It's rough, but it's worth it!
