Welcome to Frugal Friday!
When will this living hell of a Summer end??? And the photo doesn't even mention the "Heat Index temp" here. This photo is just from a random day last week.
There are very few Frugal wins this past week but here goes......
* Got a few things at Kroger last Friday....pounds of blueberries and strawberries for .99¢ each, reduced fresh produce like .54¢ lb. mushrooms, slaw mix for .75¢, a salad kit for $1, a lb. of local Kielbasi for under $4, a lb. of salmon for $7.49, non-green peppers for .99¢ each and BOGO olive oil.* Staying inside mostly, needless to say, due to this extremely warm Summer still. Who else thinks that Mr. Willis Carrier should be canonized a saint?!? Right up there with him is Mr. Frederick Jones who invented the first portable a/c unit. 8-))
* Two PT appointments this past week which costs Zero OOP.
* After PT last Friday we went to Kroger(see ABOVE).. I had points worth .30 discount per gallon of gas at Kroger so Hubs got gas there and used my discount.
* My new clothes arrived last Saturday...
And it's a good thing I had that free ship code. They charged $19.99 for shipping just these 2 lightweight dresses(but I didn't pay that w/the code). And in that package were all these various catalogs from them and their affiliated companies. I think this all weighed MORE than the dresses!! And I am certainly not paying shipping on all this cr*p I didn't ask for or want!
* The doggies got groomed!
* The doggies got groomed!
They were way overdue too.......
Nice and clean and short cuts.
We found a local person who does dog grooming instead of paying out the nose for PetSmart workers to do it.
She charges less than PS, did a better job and they are looking mighty spiffy(and smell much better)!
* I found money!
Total Found in last Week.... .01¢
Total Found this Year.......$3.03
That's all for this past week. Just sitting home is frugal, right?
Any frugal wins in your neck of the woods? Let's hear all about them!

My walking exercise sketcher shoes were toast, so I bought New Balance shoes on sale for $34.99. I have to walk an hour, either at 6 am, or 7 pm, four days a week, bc of the heat. I bought middle son a Filet Mignon for $16.99, on sale at Fresh Market, and cooked
ReplyDeleteit for him, along with corn on the cob. My non frugal is driving back and forth to work, over two hours one way, from house in college town because it has the kick azz air conditioner. I am so over the heat…… Cindy in the South
Something makes me think you're in for summer after summer of the heat. I don't think the climate change is going to reverse. Cute puppies.
ReplyDeleteJre depending on your size now (and I’m under the impression that you are short? ) I’m 5 1”. I love Lands End at times for for several things but they carry xl petites that fit me so well. They had great petite dresses in knits and last year I got a few summer shift type knit ones I love. Like a nightgown in comfort. Very good quality and they can have amazing sales especially end of season and their things are so basic/timeless style that they work for years. (I went nuts a few years ago buying several down winter coats at crazy prices after years of not being able to find a petite that would fit me). I think I bought at least 6 plus some raincoats etc. I’m set here inMn.
ReplyDeleteCan you
ReplyDeleteGive us more details on the dresses? I need a black dress. Slughorn
I got this one..... https://www.roamans.com/products/flutter-sleeve-crinkle-dress/1001461.html?cgid=RM_Dresses&dwvar_1001461_color=4388178
DeleteIt's a rayon dress(nothing better than rayon in the Summer!)and I'll hem it shorter. It's not everyone's taste and if you live in colder climates it won't work for you. I have a white shrug I can pair it with when/if our nephew has a memorial service for Hubs brother at some point up in PA and we are able to go.
Your puppies look like they feel much better. Good deals at Kroger, I love their markdowns. Shipping from Roamans and Woman Within are both too high, glad you got free shipping and a discount on your new dress.
ReplyDeleteI had about 50 tomatoes turn ripe all at once so turned them into tomato sauce today. Saved a few for sandwiches but it looks like I need to pick more soon.
ReplyDeleteI’ve dumped 8 gallons of shock in the pool recently and noticed a hint of algae returning today. Off to Rural King again for more chemicals. At least they were 25% off this time.
Your dogs are so cute and fluffy. But, they are probably much cooler without so much hair. The black and white one is especially cute. My friend had a dog that had sparse and straggly, ugly and mean. I cannot believe a long-hair chihuahua can be so cute and cuddly looking.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of Roaman, but will check into it. I love, love, LOVE rayon, summer or winter. I have the Woman Within catalog and worry about quality. Maybe now I will order something. Walk slow and stay in the shade. Yes, I know it should be 'slowly' but that is how it is said in the South.
