Here's what passed for Frugal around here this past week.............
* I got the Weis freebie last Friday.....
A 2 lb. bag of frozen mixed veggies. This will go into a massive pot pie or a pot of soup eventually.
* I hit Big Lots last Sunday during their 20% off store wide sale.........
I didn't get anything exciting really, just some canned//bottled pantry supplies like green chiles, refried beans, rice, some spices, stuff like that. I spent $38.60 but can't find my receipt right now to see how much I saved. It was all much lower than buying it at the grocery store though at regular price.
* I hit some laundry detergents on clearance at Weis last week........
2 each of large jugs of Tide, large bags of Gain flings, jugs of Persil and smaller bags of Tide pods.
Reg. price for all was $66.56, on clearance at 50% off($32.24).
Even better I had 8 x $2/1 ManuQs and IPQs on all these brands/items so I paid $16.24 for it all(plus $1.28 sales tax).
* I went to CVS...............
A couple of weeks ago I got lured into a CVS deal that had me pay more OOP than I like to and left me with $7.50 in ECBs.
Not wanting to go all "Extreme CVS" at this point I had to find a way to use those ECBs and not wind up with more ECBs which would just lead me down a dark path like I am on at Rite-Aid. lolz
So I bought those 2 deodorants on the left in the photo, used 2 x $1/1 IPQs and a $3 Reward I had earned for that first foray back into CVS a couple of weeks ago. My OOP for those was $1.04 w/tax.
That generated $5 more in ECBs($4 for the deodorant, $1 just because I was there I suppose lol).
After sale prices, coupons and ECBs for the rest of what is in the photo I paid .45¢ including .03¢ tax).
All the other items earned me a $10 Cash Card which I redeemed. This doesn't expire like ECBs so if I ever want to go back I have it to spend but it doesn't mean I have to go back anyytime soon. 8-)
So I guess I did ok spending $1.49 total OOP this trip and getting a $10 card back.
* Hubs and I had lunch out at Bob Evans while running errands this past week. I used a $5 off $25 Q there so saved a bit that way. These Qs usually cover what we would have spent on the tip so I'll take that as a win. 8-)
* I saw this 3L box of sangria was on the clearance shelf at the liquor store......
Marked down to $19.99, not a great price but better than a poke in the eye around these parts.
I found a $2/1 tearpad w/Qs for "any Black Box" wine somewhere else in the store and used it so got my marked down wine for $17.99.
Go me. ;-)
Still no change to be found around here so that's about it for my week.
Living the dream folks, living the dream.........
What frugal wins did ya'll have lately?
