Friday was a very crappy day for me(don't ask!). Between wanting to cry my eyes out over the way an incompetent dr. with a horrible bedside manner treated me and wanting to lash out at said person working for the medical entity I am forced to use(not at the same time mind you)and a trip to Walmart to do Ibotta deals I was just done. Then a run in with Rite-Aid customer service over ANOTHER non-working gift cards(still). This encounter has made my HS flare(yay me!)and I sank into a depressed state. Then money issues with my daughter have me on edge. Then I get home and there is a jury summons waiting for me.
Like I said, not a good day.
Then I couldn't sleep, got up at 4 am, put dogs out in the pouring rain. Rain changed over to snow between 6-7 am.
As of this photo about an hour ago, we have 8 inches on the ground(a bit of this is ice under the snow).
When I went to put the dogs out there were about 50 birds on the ground in the snow near the trees in the distance in this photo as we have a bird feeder on one of the bare deciduous trees back there.
Most of them flew up into the trees when the dogs came out of the door so here's the brave birdies that didn't flee......
I've seen Robins for about a week in the yard too and I am thinking they are saying, WTF?!, at this point.
So here are a few of the frugal-ish things that happened here this past week.......
* Bought all this at Dollar General on clearance last Saturday.....
All this plus everything else not on clearance came to $20.17
* I bought all this at my R-A on 3/6 on in one transaction using a $6 of wys $30 coupon...
*I bought all this at my R-A on 3/8 in one transaction using a $4 off wy $20 coupon......
All this plus a Twix bar, a Butterfinger bar and a 6 pack of Irish Spring soap.* I got a few items at Weis(PMITA)Markets for Ibotta rebates--Beneful dry dog food, Canine Carry Outs dog treats, an brand Creamer, Chobani creamer and a Kill Cliff energy drink. Add in the .75¢ in Ibotta rebates from Rite-Aid(Twix and Butterfinger bars and I earned $7.10 including m $3 Midweek Moneymaker Bonus. Spent $9.57 before tax on the dog food and earned $7.10(no free gift cards used).
* Frugal fail--2 heads of Romain lettuce frozen in the produce drawer of my fridge so those had to get pitched.
* I found money!
A penny near the register counter at Rite-Aid last Saturday.Total Found in last Week...... .24¢
Total Found This Year......$3.66
That's about all I've got for this past week.
