Here are our frugal wins for this past week....
* I love finding marked down foods at Kroger(this really doesn't happen at Walmart). I found 2 bag of fresh veggies with stickers, an individual salad, a piece of cod marked down as well as a bag of protein cereal AND both were part of the mega sale too, plus a container of tuna salad.
* We used up some pantry items as well.
* I sold a length of fabric this past week finally on eBay. Basically after fees I may have broke even. At least it's one thing out of the house. I'll probably donate the rest and take the tax write-off. That will be mush easier and quicker to accomplish. ;-)
* We also had no food waste last 2 weeks. We cooked at home and then ate some leftovers this past week. There was no eating out.
* Even with our record cold temps here lately our electric bill wasn't much higher. I'll take that as a win! My brother in VA got 12 inches of snow which is very rare for that area and they are snowed in.
* Entertainment last week was free tv, YouTube watching, doing genealogy or reading.
* I found money!
I found a penny in the parking lot of Kroger right behind our car 2 Friday's ago. Since then it's been a big old dry spell.

I miss you and Kay and I need to see you. This is a need..... not a want. I think you and Dan should come here for a few weeks. We can have fun!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a productive week you’ve had! Scoring marked down fresh veggies and other groceries is such a win, especially when you can save on good quality food. It’s impressive that you managed to use up pantry items and avoid food waste—great job on the home cooking! Selling fabric on eBay is a nice touch, and donating the rest sounds like a smart plan. Plus, keeping your electric bill low during the cold weather is definitely something to celebrate! Finding money is the cherry on top!
ReplyDeleteI’d love for you to check out my new post!
Will do!
DeleteNice week. I saved nothing, but spent virtually nothing either. I did buy a new loveseat last week and it was delivered today. I'm not sure I like it but I am stuck with it anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhere are you putting it? Are you replacing one? Don't like it, send it back!
DeleteI found a penny this week too. We had a lot of stuff leave our house this week for a consignment sale. I love all the extra space.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty frugal week here except for needing a new dryer and some plumbing work. If anyone young is thinking about a career, I highly suggest becoming a plumber. Their hourly rate is higher than a doctors. :-)
ReplyDeleteExactly! Trades people are needed and are always employable.
DeleteSilk kids milk was a $1 moneymaker after Kroger sale/coupon/Ibotta rebate. It was fine in coffee this morning so may pick up some more for $.99.
ReplyDeleteDave was sick with the flu all week so no cooking. I ate leftovers upstairs with the cat and have so far avoided the sickness.
I got that Silk Milk too to use in my oatmeal. Also changed areas and got strawberries for the $1.88 coupon instead.
DeleteHope Dave feels better soon.
We had the $1.88 strawberries and they were deceptive. The dark red ones (normally the best) had no taste at all. The two pound packages are always much better for some reason.
DeleteDave’s up and moving and said he would try the flu shot next year. He’s allergic to eggs which could be an issue but most likely fine.
