Frugal Friday....the March 7th Edition

Here are our frugal wins for this past week....

*  I love finding marked down foods at Kroger(this really doesn't happen at Walmart).  Got some Burger meat on clearance, some veggies on sale, bagged salad on clearance, more strawberries for $1.88 lb., Greek yogurt on sale, and got 4lb. of Catfish fillets for $9.95 at a different store.

*  We used up some pantry items as well.

*  We also had no food waste last week.   We cooked at home and then ate some leftovers this past week. There was no eating out.

*  While grocery shopping I picked up some items for the food bank we donate to.  It wasn't much cash out of hand but helps folks struggling here out and makes us feel good.
Spending money on groceries not for us isn't frugal but it certainly is frugal for others.  Especially if it's toiletries or paper goods which they can't use EBT/Snap benefits on.

* It's been warm here so the heat has been off during the day.  Not "hang your laundry out to dry warm" but warm enough not to need the furnace days.

*  Entertainment last week was free tv, YouTube watching, doing genealogy or reading.

*  I found money! 

                    


              

Between Walmart and Kroger I found .12¢ total-a dime and 2 pennies last week.
Found Money This Week.... .12¢
Grand Total Found this Year....... .69¢

That's all I got.


Any frugal wins in your neck of the woods?  Let's hear all about them!

    I found a dime in the thrift store parking lot this week, so that was neat. I know for a fact that people who need to use the food bank really appreciate those non food items. You are a treasure for helping them out. :)

      I found that out back in PA when I donated toiletries to a food bank that took non-food items. People who have never used SNAP have no clue you can't purchase non food essentials with it but these are needed things-tp, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.

    No frugal wins, unless you count deeply discounted shoes that I could not resist.

    Not much here but I do consider 40 or above hang your laundry weather. I ended up with frozen laundry stuck to the line when I tried it in the 30s. Mostly I stick the drying rack in front of the fireplace in the winter.

    There has been a dime in the walkway to my business for a week. I thought one of the kids would have picked it up by now. If it's still there tomorrow I am scooping it up
