Here's a rundown on what frugal wins we had around Chez Sluggy this past week.....
* I went to Rite-Aid on Wednesday. I had $3-$4 in Bonus Cash that was expiring soon so I brought this stuff home....
1 x Ric Krispies on sale=$1.99
2 x Febreeze small spaces deodorizer 20% Wellness discount($3.11)=$6.22
SubTotal....$8.21
Coupons Used
1 x $1/1 any Kellogg's cereal from my Kellogg's Points account=$1.00
1 x BOGOFree Febreeze ManuQ(up to $3.00)=$3.00
Coupon Total.......$4.00
$8.21-$4.00=$4.21+.20¢ tax=$4.41 using Bonus Cash.
I also earned .60¢ on Ibotta for buying the Rice Krispies plus a Giveaway entry, so converted .60 in BC into cash. ;-)
* I finished off the Ibotta "Seeing Green" $10 Bonus. I needed 11 items(and after the box of cereal at R-A it was 10 items)I went to Weis(PMITA)Markets.....
3 x Kellogg's cereals $2.49 wyb3=$7.47(2 different rebates)
2 x Jello gelatin cups on sale=$3.00
2 x Jello pudding cups on sale=$3.00
2 x Cracker Barrel cheese on sale=$5.38
2 x Banza chickpea pasta clearance=$4.18
2 x Cliff energy drinks on sale=$4.00(2 different rebates)
1 x St. Joseph low dose aspirin on sale=$2.00
1 x Daisy sour cream=$1.99 *not pictured*
SubTotal.....$31.02
Coupons Used..$4.40
Total after Qs.....$26.62 OOP
Then I earned back $13.80 on Ibotta for 10 different rebates plus hit the 30 item mark and earned the $10 Seeing Green Bonus too, so $23.80 in rebates/bonuses back meaning all 15 items cost me $2.82 OOP.
* I already blogged earlier this week about the $4.10 refund at Weis(PMITA)Markets that made my package of diced chicken better than free....
* Hubs took the window a/c out of two rooms upstairs. When he went to put the screens back in he saw that one was beyond patching so he bought a roll of screen and used his rescreening tools to replace the screen.
Ta-Dah! Much cheaper than buying a whole new window screen and frame.
* I got 2 packs of chicken and a pack of hamburgers(and some snacking cheese)on clearance last Friday which I already showed you....
But when I went back on Wednesday to finish the Ibotta Rebates and that $10 Bonus I also picked this up in the way of meat deals....
Another pack of hamburgers, 1.33 lb for $1.98 after discount and $2 instant sticker on the package.
And a pack of 1.69 lb. of thin sliced chicken breast for $3.31 after half price(BOGOF at Weis, if you just get one it's half-price)and $2 instant sticker on the package. This will be good on nights my hands are hurting and I can't pound or slice chicken for stuff like Marsala or Parm.;-)
These went immediately into the freezer.
* I found money!
I found a penny at Rite-Aid when I went there last Friday.
I went to a cashiered register at Weis(PMITA)Markets last Friday. The register wouldn't take any of my legit IPQs so they suspended the transaction(as this snafu was holding up the line)and they made me go to Customer Service to finish the transaction and get my Qs to scan.
After finishing up at the CS desk as I walked past the self-checkouts I spied a coin under one of the self-checkouts but someone was using it right then. So I pulled my shopping cart off to the side and looked over my register(the same receipt they overcharged me on that pack of chicken...maybe I should have REALLY paid attention to that receipt, huh?lol)and waited for the guy to finish and pay and move away from the checkout. Then I swooped in and snatched up the coin which turned out to be a dime...so worth the wait. ;-)
Then when I went back to Weis on Tuesday to get a refund on the overcharged chicken I found this penny near the Customer Service desk.
And I went to Rite-Aid on Wednesday to use some expiring BC(see first photo of transaction above). I cleaned some expired Qs out of my coupon envie while in the store and went to put them in the trash can outside the door of the store as I left and found this penny waiting for me near the trash can.
Found change this week..... .13¢
Found change this year so far...$48.28
* We had Ex-CB and his roommate over for dinner Thursday. As it was a shot day we ordered Domino's(plus I was able to put together a tossed salad to serve with the pizza).
I used a gift card(long ago paid for)plus since I order online I had a FREE Pizza to redeem so instead of $23.96 + tax the order was $17.97 + tax.
That's about all from here this past week.
What frugal wins did ya'll have this past week? Let us know!
And to Jen G.--I am certain that I will NEVER be the cause of any national tofu crisis. Other than a little in my Hot and Sour soup when I order that, I have to stay away from soy beans(it's a long story). There will be no tofu hoarding here! ;-)
