Frugal Friday.....the October 13th Edition on Saturday

Welcome to Frugal Friday!   

There are a few Frugal wins this past week so here goes....

*  Grocery shopping this past week--

I hit Walmart for some stuff(can't remember what right now as I am in a drug induced fog.  8-)

*  As part of my Ibotta big bonus I was trying to finish,  I had to have 1 online purchase so I downloaded Ubereats.com and when through ibotta on Sunday to order dinner from Bob Evans restaurant here in Ohio.  Not only did I earn the $10 Ibotta bonus but I  got $25 off the food order(first order with Ubereats.com)and I earned another $10.35 on Ibotta.  I  used the stipend credit card the medical travel program provided to pay(meaning this food order cost $0 OOP)plus turned it into an Ibotta moneymaker of $20.35.  Nice.

*  I  also found a $5 in free Extra bucks  on my CVS account last week.  So bought 2 boxes of Special K cereal there as it was BOGO.  $6.29 OOP but I got $2 back on Ibotta for that purchase, making those cereals better than free!

.

*  At the surgery consult on Monday in Ohio it was recommended I have flexible gel packs for icing my wound so Hubs hiked up to CVS and bought 2 of those.  Again, using the travel stipend card to pay so no OOP.  And on  the receipt was $8 in Extra bucks so $8 free script but Hubs used it the next day to get a bottle of CVS branded Miralax so no getting to splurge on that $8. lol

The purchase as earned me .58 on my CVS card but I'm not sure if he used that too.

*  I found money! 

Found this nickel under the self-checkout register I used at Walmart last Friday.

Then at the airport in Louisiana on Saturday I found a  penny under a bench.

Then at the airport in Charlotte I spied this dime near our gate under a row of seats.

Total Found in last Week.... .16¢
Total Found this Year.......$3.27

*  And the bestest thing was getting a knee replacement at no charge to me due to this travel program our insurance provided.  I've been suffering since 2018 with this bum knee so I am very grateful for the people involved who got me to this point.(Including all my friends and family who have cheered me on and listened to me bitch about stuff along the way).  You are all rock stars! 8-)))

That's all I got. 

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

Blogging will be taking a backseat to getting me healed so there might not be many posts here for the foreseeable future.8-)

More Rite-Aid & My Shot!

While I was waiting in Rite-Aid for my Covid shot on Tuesday(and then afterwards before they let me leave)I looked around to see if I could put together a transaction using that $10 off $50 Q.  And guess what?  I did!

4 x Caramels and Tootsie Pops on sale=$10.00
2 x 7th Generation wipes 20% Gold disc.=$7.18
2 x Got2Be styling items clearance=$3.98
3 x Almay eye shadow clearance=$6.72
2 x Nivea shave balm 20% Gold disc.=$12.78
2 x Nivea face wash 20% Gold disc.=$11.98
4 x R-A Epsom Salts clearnce=$2.56
SubTotal........$55.20

The only coupon I used was the $10 off $50 so the total was $45.20+$1.74=$46.94 paid for with Bonus Cash and a free R-A gift card.

I earned $15 in new BC($5 wyb2 7th Generation, $5 double dip on the candy bags, $5 wyspend $20 on men's Nivea).

I submitted to Ibotta and earned $21.20(2 x $1.50 Got2Be stylers, 2 x $1.75 Nivea shave, 2 x $2.85 Nivea face wash, 3 x $3.00 Almay eye), .75¢ Nivea Bonus and the $3 Mid Week Moneymaker Bonus so a total of $24.95 cash back.

$15+$24.95=$39.95 earned back so after converting some BC to cash I spent down the BC by $6.99.

Mission accomplished.

I'm feeling less fatigued today so thanks for all the well wishes.
Here's a bit of fun for your Thursday afternoon......
