Frugal Friday.....February 9th Edition

Not much to report in on this week, but here it goes.........

*  Hubs and I used a voucher for a local Mexican restaurant on Monday for lunch.  The tab came to $4.91 more than the voucher and adding in the tip the meal cost me $10 of my WAM.

Speaking of WAM.....This how much WAM I ended January with--$130.  Add in my $100 Feb. allotment and subtract the $10 I spent on Monday for lunch and I'm down to $220 to spend this month(as any leftovers are rolled into the next month.  Hubs however never has any leftovers.  I am sure Hubs is down to his last $50 for February by now. lolz

*  A trip to Rite-Aid on Wednesday which netted me $7.50 in cash rebates on this haul.

*  Other than grocery shopping(shopping loss leaders and a few needs)and lunch out on Monday no other spending happened.....if you don't count the 5 books I bought at Ollie's(the cost of which-$12.70-will come out of my WAM).  There were a few food items clearance priced at Ollie's I picked up too.....

2 boxes of Archer Farms(target brand)K-Cups for $1 each.  75% off
3 bags of Aunt Jemima cornmeal for .25¢ each.  75% off
The cornmeal will go into the freezer until needed and should yield quite a few pans of cornbread.

And I already showed the discontinued dish soap score at Weis.......

.62¢ a bottle.

*  We don't "do" Valentine's day here.  Having said that those Russell Stover chocolate hearts are 2 for $1 and there are $1/2 Load2CardQs valid until Saturday on our 3 cards.  I've gotten 2 hearts already on one card and will go back before the Qs expire to pick up 4 more chocolate hearts for free.  All my folks living here will get a couple of choccies from me.  8-))

*  We have no plans to go out anywhere this weekend.  Staying home saves money on gas for the car at the very least.  We'll find ways to have "fun" at home.   Maybe I'll pull some fabric from my stash and start work on that buffet topper/runner I want to make.  ;-)

What's been going on in your frugal world lately?
