Frugal Friday 2023.....the August 18th Edition

Welcome to Frugal Friday!   



If my mother was still alive, today would have been her 89th Birthday.  Here she is at my high school graduation.  Dig my huge glasses! lol


And here she is in the mode she cherished most, being a Grandma to my three children.  Here she is with my daughter about 7 years before she passed.  There is no one like your mother and I miss her every day.....Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom!

There are very few Frugal wins this past week but here goes......

*  Got a cantaloupe this past Monday for $1.97.  Go me.

*  Two PT appointments this past week which costs Zero OOP.

*  Had an MRI at the behest of my neurologist on Wednesday.  Lawd that is something I NEVER want to repeat!(Yah, I have a touch of claustrophobia.)  At least I don't owe anything for it. 8-)

*  Last Friday I hit up Dollar General as they had $6 off when you bought 2 gift cards(certain ones).

I got 2 x Lowe's gift cards.   The $6 came to just over 10% off.  Not great but better than a poke in the eye.  That seems to be where we spend a lot of our cash these days-Lowe's and the Home Despot. ;-)

*  Went to Ollie's and picked up a few food items and freezer bags on Thursday.  Hubs got some cereals and nuts.  I picked up some staples like Celery Seed, Breadcrumbs, marked down Stuffing, Dark Chocolate Chips and Ketchup.  Also got some Cashews for me to add to Stir-Frys.

*  Hit up Walmart and found this clearance find......

These blueberry yogurts were half price at $1.49 so $3.98 OOP.   I had a $1 Ibotta rebate and a Shopmium $1/1 Digital Q so both packs cost me $1.00 combined.

*  I found money! 


I found a penny on the sidewalk outside the medical building where I had an MRI done on Wednesday.

Total Found in last Week.... .01¢
Total Found this Year.......$3.04

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!

Frugal Friday.....the December 7th Edition


Let's see what frugal goodness happened around Chez Sluggy this past week.........

*  I forgot to mention this last month--I printed out my $5 eVisa card.


This was earned from buying 4 SC Johnson items(Glade/Ziploc/etc)in one transaction earlier in November.

*  Speaking of rebates I earned $46.20 in variousIbotta cash rebates this past week.  $24 of that was for those Neutrogena lip balms(6 x $4)and a bit was on Olay(2 x $3)and waiting for that particular rebate to appear back on my list of eligible ones.  A small piece was for items bought at Weis(Life cereal and Ajax dish soap).  I earned $1 on SavingStar also. 
A good week for rebating here! ;-)

*  I found some money!



Waiting in the drive-thru line at Mickey D's on Sunday I spied 2 pennies next to the building.  The line was very sloooooow so I jumped out of the car and picked them up to give them a good, loving home. lolz
Not much change found it's way to me this week.....oh, well.  Some weeks are like that.

*  I got the Weis Friday Freebie item last Friday............


A block of cream cheese which is much appreciated in this house.  ;-)
Remember to check your grocery account at whichever store you frequent to see if there is a freebie you can use this week!

*  The clearance pumpkin flavored cereals at Weis(PMITA)Markets that were marked down to $1.88 per box are now $1 per box at my store, which means after stacked WeisQ/ManuQs they are FREE!
No photo but I picked up 6 boxes for free this past week.  Woohoo!

*  I got these items for .29¢ each at Weis recently as well..........


Unilever is revamping their Suave brands website and they sent me a link to a page of Suave Qs to print.  One Q was for .75¢ off their body wash and Weis had it on sale for $1.79 per bottle.  My Qs doubled to $1.50 so I got each of these for .29¢ each.  Not free but almost.  ;-)

*  Here's just some of the stuff I pillaged from Rite-Aid this week.........


I'll post about all the goodies I've gotten so far this week in a later post. 
Today and Saturday R-A is doing another 30% off Friends and Family Sale around here.  Not sure if this one is nationwide or not but I got a coupon for it on my first trip there this week.

*  Hubs and I finally got up to the Christmas Tree Shops in the city North of us this week.
I saw this on the shelf...........


$9.99 for a 5 oz. bottle of real Vanilla extract.  I didn't buy it.
Tell me....is this a good price nowadays for vanilla?  I have no clue.

*  I hit Dollar General last Saturday to get some discounted gift cards.


The deal was 15% off if you bought Cracker Barrel/DQ/Burger King/Red Lobster and maybe Ruby Tuesdays?
I bought $100 worth total so paid $85 for all.  Daughter's birthday is coming up this month and she wants to go to Red Lobster so that was a no-brainer. 

*  Speaking of discounted gift cards, I also sent for $300 worth of Target gift cards and paid $270 for those.  I don't shop Target much and I usually use free gift cards there acquired using credit card points but I couldn't pass up this deal.

* Not sure if you can still do this......if you have a Kmart near you(that is not closing)and you are a Shop Your Way Rewards customer, there is/was a $5 off $5 purchase coupon available via text message(the Q expires today-12/7/2018).  Go read about it HERE.
I loaded it to my phone and will go down to Kmart today if possible.

That's about it for me this week.
Remember to heed the advice of the "World's Most Frugal Man".............




Tell us what frugal wins y'all had this week!  8-)
