* Not really frugal but a win nonetheless.....
I culled more items from the house to send off to charity. 4 more bags of clothing that is too big now, some handbags/tote bags, a couple of Christmas ornaments and a knee support that didn't. *snort*
More stuff out of our lives that we can't/don't use. 8-)
* I received a Rakuten check.......
Actually got it last week but I cashed it in this week. It's not much as the only online shopping I did was from Easy Spirit this Winter and 2 Rite-Aid online orders in May(which I didn't pay any $$ for-just Bonus Cash). Free money back for not spending any cash at least at R-A? Yes please!
* The only eating out this past week was on Thursday. We went to Applebee's for lunch and used one of the gift cards I have. The only OOP was for the tip.
* I sold something on eBay!
3 boxes of limited edition Starbucks K-Cups. I picked these up in Jan. or Feb. for $2 a box. Sold them before their Best Buy date. Go me. After fees I'll net a bit over $10 profit here.
* As we get work done in the house we will be having to purchase stuff at home repair stores so I picked up a Lowe's gift card at Rite-Aid. This gave me $16 in BC so I'll parlay that into more free stuff from R-A. 8-)
* Hubs and I went to Ollie's(Good Stuff Cheap!)on Thursday and used a 15% off coupon they had mailed me before it expired. I picked up some food items....
Popcorn and Pretzels to keep me from eating worse things. Some pasta noodles, canned soup(can't make it for this cheap), water flavoring, a graham cracker pie crust for 4th of July pie making, applesauce cups and a bag of Brownie Brittle(so I don't eat much worse in the calorie count brownies). All this cost me $15.57.
* I did some Ibotta and ShopKick deals at Walmart.....
All this cost me $20.98 after tax, minus Qs and $10 in fee gift cards. I earned back $25.05 between Coupons dotcom digital Q, Ibotta rebates and bonus and Shop Kicks earned(I also earned some ShopKicks from scanning products in store that I didn't purchase). So a net gain of $4.07 back.The cereals will go into my Food Bank donation box, the toiletries/HBA may be used or go into a Giveaway and the veggie dogs and raisin bread will be eaten.
* I found money this past week!
When I was out on Tuesday I found a dime at the Rite-Aid South of here and a penny in one of the self-checkout machine change returns at Walmart.
Not a big win but it's better than getting skunked 2 weeks in a row. lol
That's about all I've got for this past week.
Any frugal wins in your neck of the woods? Let's hear all about them!
And have a good weekend!
