Here's the stuff that went on around here last week to could be considered "frugal".
* I haven't bought anything at Rite-Aid yet this week(that may end later today)but I did go to pick up an Rx on Sunday and found this...........
a dime. woohoo!
* I got the Weis freebie last Friday........
Free trash bags?
Why, yes please! lolz
* I did some shopping online at JC Penney's on the 14th during a big clearance sale. I picked up the goodies last week. Good thing I brought Hubs with me since I wouldn't have been able to carry it all to the car. lolz
I bought 14 items for Xmas gifts next year and it cost me $69.90. Free shipping to the store and it all would have cost $476 if bought at regular price. Besides some cash I am mostly done Xmas shopping now for 2019.
Yay!
I can show you these knit shorts/sleep pants that I got for myself. Less than $7 for both and I used some of my WAM to buy them. The dark gray ones have bulldogs on them and I LOVE these turquoise ones with beagles wearing tropical shirts....reminds me of our two goofy beagles we had. ;-)
* Hubs and I ate lunch out at the Chinese buffet at the mall the day we picked up the Penney's order.
See all that change Kim?!? bwaaahh
On the way out I sat by the indoor koi pond while Hubs went to get the car. I spied this.......
Behind the potted palm next to the pond was a penny.
I shimmied near the coin and used my foot to drag it into range so I could pick it up.....woohoo!
* Last Friday I went to the town South of here and stopped at a Wendy's along the way. I got a 4 for $4 meal thing plus a free jr. Frosty(free with my adoption key tag all year). Abut 5 miles down the road I realized the cashier never gave me my drink. ugh. Well, I had to Frosty so I didn't need a drink really.
So when I got where I was going I called the Wendy's I stopped at to let them know I was drinkless. The manager was very nice and offered me some coupons and mailed them to my home. Of course she spelled my name wrong(even after I spelled it for her on the phone!lolz)but the Qs will mean free food just the same!
2 free burger, 1 free fries and 2 free cookies. Not a bad return for my $1 drink.....I find it funny there are no drinks coupons here. lolz
* I went through some papers on my desk and found something Rite-Aid had sent me about a savings program for one of the drugs I take. I signed up for the program with that manufacturer, then refilled that particular drug and had Hubs do take the paperwork into R-A to the pharmacist and then pick up the Rx. This savings program now means this drug is $0.00 monies out of my pocket(well, out of the HSA really)instead of a $45 drain every month. Go me!
* The best deal at Weis(PMITA)Markets last week was this.......
I still had 6 x .75¢/1 Ragu IPQs to use before they expired on Feb. 28th so over the last week I got these 6 jars of sauce. Regularly priced at $1.89 each with my Qs they cost me .39¢ each, so $2.34 OOP for all.
I believe the Q reset now for March on Coupons dotcom so if your store doubles this means $1.50 off a jar(heck even at just .75¢ off a jar if you find this item on sale would be good too). Print some out to use in March.
* While at Weis getting sauce I found these too.........
2 more pennies to add to the change envelope. 8-))) That makes .13¢ found change this past week.
* I went into the state run alcohol store next to Weis after Daughter went there and told me about a clearance sale on Sangria.
This brand of sangria was on clearance for $5.39 a box(each box was equal to 2 bottles?). This stuff was regularly priced at $8. I bought all 5 they had left. Summer is coming(at least I HOPE it is at this point!)and I love me a nice fruity Sangria to drink on the deck.
Some of this will be accompanying me on our trip South as well. ;-)
* Speaking of going down South.......Hubs went to the local library to get a few books to read. They have a table out in the foyer there with free books to take. He picked this classic up for free........
A book everyone should be required to read in high school but sadly I doubt any public schools require it.
He also got me a book he through I'd like to read, which I do. 8-) It will be going South with me on this trip along with the wine so I'll wait to show it to you after I read it and review it. The title is something I am always calling the Federal Government to give you a hint until I read it. lolz
Ok that's about it here for the past week at Chez Sluggy..
What's been going on at your house?
