So here are the VERY few frugal-ish things that happened here at Chez Sluggy this past week.......
* I ended May with $257.58 in food/toiletries/paper goods spending. Take away the $128.82 in rebates($120.07 I earned on Ibotta, $6.00 earned on Checkout51 and $2.75 earned on Coupons dotcom)and I spent $128.76 when all was said and done. The rebates halved my grocery spending for the month. I consider that a win! 8-)
* I reported on that mangled Rite-Aid transaction earlier in the week.
I much prefer $15 in cash to $15 in Bonus Cash anyway so I am calling this a win. 8-)* The only take-out this past week was on Tuesday. We got Subway. I used a gift card I had here to pay so no OOP on eating out this week.
* Hosted a Memorial weekend cookout for 8. Did it on the cheap(of course!)by shopping my pantry, shopping discount stores and preparing all the dishes instead of buying convenience foods for those. Spent about $100 on everything but we had lots of leftover foods for meals this past week. rah.
* I didn't find any money! I got skunked this past week in the money finding department. That's the first time this year. sigh Didn't go many places so that cut down on my chances of finding change.
Total Found This Year......$12.92
