Frugal Friday......The March 6th Edition

Let's see what frugal goodness took place around here this past week..................

* I got the Weis(PMITA)Markets freebie last Friday.........

A can of OJ concentrate.

*  I earned $2.10 in Ibotta rebates.

Rah! 8-)
I also earned $1 on SavingStar last week.  I picked up a package of Magnum ice cream bars on clearance for $2.24 so after that rebate they cost me $1.24.
Rah Rah! lolz

*  I almost forgot so this is an Update.......
I got a $10 store coupon from Kohl's so I went Monday while my 30% discount coupon was still valid to see what I could find on clearance for free/cheap.  I found 3 items to put away for Christmas gifts for Ex-College Boy so I can't show them here.  Total came to  $1.40 OOP.
Nice. 8-)

*  I found some good deals at Weis last week.
First some clearance items.........

.62¢ a box whole grain spaghetti on clearance.

Lots of cellophane tape and better than free Vitamin E sticks after rebate at R-A.....

.63¢ spent on a free R-A gift card for Kleenex and Betadine spray plus sample freebies too.

I hit the Dollar General Clearance event last Saturday(plus was able to use a $6/wys $25 Q)..........

 I paid $11.37 OOP

And of the items I'll keep for our use it was $5.79 out of my grocery budget. ;-)

Other shopping deals from this past week can be seen HERE and HERE if interested.


*  I found money!

This .22¢ was found all in one go at Rite-Aid under the candy rack at the register last Friday.  One of the dimes I saw first, glinting at me in the sun, and then when I went back up front I saw there was more under there so I snagged the other dime and the two pennies. ;-)

I found another penny on the floor at R-A on Saturday.

I found this worse for the wear penny outside Dollar General on Saturday.

And this shiny fella was spied under a rack at the Rite-Aid downtown on Tuesday.

Total Found Money this Week....  .25¢
Total Found Money for the Year so far....$43.16

*  Hubs and I went out to lunch on Wednesday to Outback.  We used a gift card Hubs had to no $$ spent OOP(other than the tip which Hubs took out of his WAM).

That's about it from Chez Sluggy for the week.

Did you have any frugal wins this past week?
Tell us all about them!

Frugal Friday......the August 2nd Edition

Another Friday, another look around to see what frugal wins we had at Chez Sluggy.

* Lots of goodies hauled home from Rite-Aid this week and no out of pocket spending.........

Plus I see those men's razors qualify for a $1 Ibotta rebate($3 total).

*  I received a $10 rebate for buying Allegra via Paypal.

*  I was going over our c/c statement and saw I had a $25 credit from Paypal.  Couldn't think for the life of me why ot was there so I called them(not that I was going to turn down $25 or anything! lol).
Turns out the charitable donation we made at Porcfest was to a Paypal account and was $75 or more so there was a deal involving this Mastercard we hold and Paypal and voila!.....we got back $25.

*  I found money!
* A penny at Rite-Aid next to one of the Clearance tables......

And a dime.............

This was at Weis(PMITA)Markets over by one of the self-checkout registers. There were empty coin wrappers in the small trashcan by the register and it looked like someone was restocking the coins in the machine or using wrapped coins to pay.  Either way someone let .10¢ go astray on the floor and didn't pick it up so I did! ;-)

And let's not forget about walking out of Rite-Aid on Wednesday with $4.85 more in cash than I went in with due to not well trained cashiers...............

*  I got the Weis Freebie last Friday............

A bottle of marinade.  They had a few varieties so I got the lemon garlic one that is good on fish.  We like that one and haven't had it in quite awhile and I just dug some catfish fillets out of the chest freezer so it will be used soon.

*  Fresh Green Beans finally went to a low price so I stocked up on 8 lbs. worth............

By day's end on Sunday I had 7 x 1 lb. bags in the freezer........

These may not be as cheap as store bought frozen but they will taste pretty good come Winter. ;-)

That's about it from here.
What frugal wins did y'all have this past week?

Frugal Friday......the March 8th Edition

Let's see what frugal stuff went on this past week at Chez Sluggy.............

*  Almost free cereal x 2.....

This is the second batch of cereal I got this week.  None of these rang up the wrong price so I paid $8.70 then got $5.25(.25¢ was a bonus for buying MOM in 2 trips)back on Ibotta so $3.45 for all 5 bags OOP.  The first batch of 5 bags cost me $3.06 due to 2 bags ringing up reg. price/incorrectly(the first batch also had 1 bag which was larger/cost more).

*  Found change at 2 Rite-Aids...........

A penny at two different Rite-Aids this past week.

* I got my Friday Freebie at Weis last Friday......

Of course it was almost Lent and there is a large population of Polish descent Catholics in my town so pierogi was a VERY popular freebie.  I do believe this was the freebie sometime during Lent last year too.  ;-)

*  Free samples at Rite-Aid............

 I found these Hydralyte samples with $1 off Qs at a Rite-Aid I went in.

These Ricola immunity drops were on the Wellness table at my Rite-Aid on Wednesday.

*  Wellness Wednesday Haul.......

The WW haul update-This last photo of the transaction on my son's card "cost" me $1.18 in Bonus Cash.  I earned back $6 in new BC($1 Russell Stover eggs, $3 wyb Max Ensure, $3 wyb2 Ziplocs).
Grand Total "spent" in BC/gift card on Wednesday for everything brought home-$28.61.
Grand Total "earned" in BC/Ibotta on Wednesday for everything-$44.25.  I grew my Bonus Cash by $16.54 on Wellness Wednesday.
8-)

*  Almost free grocery shop at Weis on Tuesday...........

After Qs and overage my OOP was .85¢.
Sweet. 8-)))

* Found change at Weis too.........

Another penny over by the CS desk.

Besides money I also found this last Saturday at Weis(PMITA)Markets.........

A Visa card.  It was half tucked under the magazine rack across from the last check-out register.  I turned it into the Customer Service Desk and no, I didn't buy a cart full of groceries with it first. lolz

*  A Free dog food coupon

This free bag of Purina dog food Q finally showed up in the mail.

* I received $14.60 since last Friday in Ibotta rebates.  I am up to a total of  $75.20 in Ibotta rebates for 2019 so far.

*  We almost had a frugal misstep this past week.  Hubs and I went to Bob Evan's for lunch on Tuesday.  I gave Hubs the $5 wyspend $25 Q to apply to the bill and he went to pay.
He takes his cc receipt and we start to go to the car.  Of course, he didn't actually LOOK at the receipt and the cashier hadn't applied the $5 off, but I, of course, caught it and hauled him back in.

It took the hostess/cashier, the manager(he was new)and a long time employee who we had to wait to come out of the ladies' room to fix it.  20 MINUTES later and they had cancelled the first c/c receipt and reran the charge through w/the $5 discount.
Seriously?  20 minutes and the lady waiting behind Hubs' to pay her bill was none too pleased either.
I guess I need to take care of "complicated" transactions like this from now on? lolz

What Frugaliciousness did you experience this past week?

Anything good??

Let us hear all about it!

Frugal Friday....the March 1st Edition

Here's the stuff that went on around here last week to could be considered "frugal".

*  I haven't bought anything at Rite-Aid yet this week(that may end later today)but I did go to pick up an Rx on Sunday and found this...........

a dime.  woohoo!

*   I got the Weis freebie last Friday........

Free trash bags?
Why, yes please! lolz

*  I did some shopping online at JC Penney's on the 14th during a big clearance sale.  I picked up the goodies last week.  Good thing I brought Hubs with me since I wouldn't have been able to carry it all to the car. lolz
I bought 14 items for Xmas gifts next year and it cost me $69.90.  Free shipping to the store and it all would have cost $476 if bought at regular price.  Besides some cash I am mostly done Xmas shopping now for 2019.
Yay!

I can show you these knit shorts/sleep pants that I got for myself.  Less than $7 for both and I used some of my WAM to buy them.  The dark gray ones have bulldogs on them and I LOVE these turquoise ones with beagles wearing tropical shirts....reminds me of our two goofy beagles we had. ;-)

* Hubs and I ate lunch out at the Chinese buffet at the mall the day we picked up the Penney's order.

See all that change Kim?!? bwaaahh
On the way out I sat by the indoor koi pond while Hubs went to get the car.  I spied this.......

Behind the potted palm next to the pond was a penny.
I shimmied near the coin and used my foot to drag it into range so I could pick it up.....woohoo!

*  Last Friday I went to the town South of here and stopped at a Wendy's along the way.  I got a 4 for $4 meal thing plus a free jr. Frosty(free with my adoption key tag all year).  Abut 5 miles down the road I realized the cashier never gave me my drink. ugh.  Well, I had to Frosty so I didn't need a drink really.

So when I got where I was going I called the Wendy's I stopped at to let them know I was drinkless.  The manager was very nice and offered me some coupons and mailed them to my home. Of course she spelled my name wrong(even after I spelled it for her on the phone!lolz)but the Qs will mean free food just the same!

2 free burger, 1 free fries and 2 free cookies.  Not a bad return for my $1 drink.....I find it funny there are no drinks coupons here. lolz

* I went through some papers on my desk and found something Rite-Aid had sent me about a savings program for one of the drugs I take.  I signed up for the program with that manufacturer, then refilled that particular drug and had Hubs do take the paperwork into R-A to the pharmacist and then pick up the Rx.  This savings program now means this drug is $0.00 monies out of my pocket(well, out of the HSA really)instead of a $45 drain every month.  Go me!

*  The best deal at Weis(PMITA)Markets last week was this.......

I still had 6 x .75¢/1 Ragu IPQs to use before they expired on Feb. 28th so over the last week I got these 6 jars of sauce.  Regularly priced at $1.89 each with my Qs they cost me .39¢ each, so $2.34 OOP for all.
I believe the Q reset now for March on Coupons dotcom so if your store doubles this means $1.50 off a jar(heck even at just .75¢ off a jar if you find this item on sale would be good too).  Print some out to use in March.

*  While at Weis getting sauce I found these too.........

2 more pennies to add to the change envelope. 8-)))  That makes .13¢ found change this past week.

*  I went into the state run alcohol store next to Weis after Daughter went there and told me about a clearance sale on Sangria.

This brand of sangria was on clearance for $5.39 a box(each box was equal to 2 bottles?).  This stuff was regularly priced at $8.  I bought all 5 they had left.  Summer is coming(at least I HOPE it is at this point!)and I love me a nice fruity Sangria to drink on the deck.
Some of this will be accompanying me on our trip South as well.  ;-)

*  Speaking of going down South.......Hubs went to the local library to get a few books to read.  They have a table out in the foyer there with free books to take.  He picked this classic up for free........

A book everyone should be required to read in high school but sadly I doubt any public schools require it.

He also got me a book he through I'd like to read, which I do. 8-)  It will be going South with me on this trip along with the wine so I'll wait to show it to you after I read it and review it.  The title is something I am always calling the Federal Government to give you a hint until I read it. lolz

Ok that's about it here for the past week at Chez Sluggy..
What's been going on at your house?
