Well I've been in the weeds as they say in the restaurant biz and need to "put out" as Ur-Spo's Board of Director's would comment.
As I didn't get around to Frugal Friday the last two weeks here's what happened that may pass for frugal during that time period..........
* I found money!
.11¢ In the Shursave Market checkout when I went to buy .99¢ a lb. peaches.
And .10¢ when we took eldest son and his GF to the amusement park last Thursday. I found this dime in the log flume we were assigned right next to my leg and you know darn well I picked that up! lol
* I got free dental stuff that first week at Rite-Aid..........
* I got better than free E.L.F. brushes last week, as well as Physician's Formula make-up remover at Rite-Aid.........
The $1 brushes were NOT giving Bonus Cash at my store, even though the signage didn't exclude these price point items. I only bought 3 to test it and no BC printed.
I called Corporate Customer Service and I got my $3 BC but didn't feel like having to fight for more BC by calling again if I bought 3 more brushes so I didn't even try.
The Physician's Formula coconut milk make-up remover was a nice little Moneymaker(spent $2.54 total in BC, got back $6 in Bonus Cash). I didn't jump right on here last week to mention it since the $4/1 Physician's Formula IPQs were no longer available and you would have needed 2 of those to do this moneymaker. 8-(
* I got the Weis(PMITA)Markets Friday Freebie one Friday but not the other............
A free bottle of chocolate syrup. I don't remember what the Freebie was the other week but it was something we don't use(plus I was in too much pain to go to the store)so I took a hard pass on that one.
* A Weis deal worth noting I did...........
This dry dog food was on clearance 50% off at $4.72. I had a $3/1 digital Q loaded to my Weis card making it $1.72. In addition, there was a peelie Q on the bag for a free can of wet food wyb that dry dog food bag(and that peelie Q gave me .31¢ of overage(can was $2.19, Q took off $2.50)so I paid $1.41 OOP for both.
* I canned .99¢ lb. blueberries and peaches...............
4 1/2s and 3 full jam jars of blueberry(plus another full jam jar in the fridge).........
And 5 full jam jars, 1 tall 10 oz. jam jar and 3 1/2s of peach jam(plus a pint in the fridge).
* I got a deal on leeks at the produce market where I got the blueberries too.........
$1.69 for two HUGE leeks and I sliced them up and filled 2 quart bags for the freezer. Leek soup will be served sometime this Winter when it's freezing out to warm our tummies up. ;-)
* The only thing I bought on Amazon Prime Day was this............
A bottle of Turumeric Curcumin. It was 31% off what they normally charge and this is a daily supplement I take for my HS. I was happy to get it this cheaply.
* The night eldest son and the GF arrived I roasted a whole chicken from the freezer, make up some asiago cheese rice and picked broccoli from the garden...........
Here's the head about a week before I picked it(didn't think to take a photo before I roasted it w/the chicken.....oh well.
That's about all I can remember that was frugal over the last 2 weeks. ER visits and medical tests were not frugal but having health insurance will make those costs a bit easier to swallow.
I hope everyone else had a good couple of weeks in the frugal arena.
I am still playing catch-up here.
I'm taking it easier physically and not trying to over do here and Hubs is giving me hell when I do too much. Making adjustments and soldiering on.
