Here is what I remember from this past week that would qualify for frugal.........
* Hubs and I hit the Discount Outlet on the other side of the river/downtown last Saturday to pick up some cheapish deli lunchmeat/cheese, as well as some fresh produce and fruit. This is the place that puts out boxes of freebies if you make a purchase so we also got these for free there.........
4 packages of flour tortillas. I foresee enchiladas and quesadilla in our future! ;-)
* I picked up a free to me Rx on Sunday, didn't go anywhere on Monday, worked the voting polls on Tuesday and had a sleep doctor annual check-up on Wednesday and then spent the rest of that day recovering from Tuesday.
* On Election Day I made up snacks for our crew(breakfast breads, veggies and dip, hummus, cheese and crackers and bottled water)so we didn't have to spend money on getting something delivered.
* Since I was near a CVS on Wednesday while I was out for my dr. appointment I went in to hit the redbox for coupons. I also bought this.........
An Almay blush for $11.99. This store adheres to the 98% rule so I knew it would generate the $6 ECBs for spending $12 on Almay deal this week. I also had a $5/1 Almay item the redbox generated, a $4 off $9 any cosmetics CRT and a $3 off $6 any cosmetics CRT(that adjusted down to $2.99)that both came off meaning I spent Zero OOP or in ECBs and earned back a $6 ECB. Sweet!
* Also while out after the dr. appointment and after hitting up CVS I was starving(no time for breakfast that day)so I used my BK app to get a $2 Whopper to bring home for lunch. I only needed to nibble on leftover veggies and hummus for dinner.
* Thursday I went to Rite-Aid and got all this.........
I used a $10 off $40 Q, 4 x $2/1 Nivea men's item In-Ad Qs, 2 x $1/1 Nivea shave gel IPQ, 2 x $2/1 Aveeno face cleanser IPQs and a $3/1 Aveeno face cream Catalina Q I got awhile back so $27 total in Qs.
Total after sale/Qs came to $22.92+$1.38 sales tax so $24.30 and I used Bonus Cash to pay this.
I earned back $30 in new BC($10 wyspend $30 Aveeno, $10 wyspend on select Aveeno $30-these double dipped on certain items, $4 wyspend $15 men's Nivea, 2 x $3 wyb2 men's Nivea).
A nice little moneymaker. 8-)
* I found change!
.21¢ on Saturday at Rite-Aid. A dime under one candy rack, a penny under another candy rack and the other dime leaning sideways on the side of the stand alone rack where they keep the weekly flyers.
I found this .11¢ on Sunday when I went to pick-up an Rx at Rite-Aid but I don't recall where I found the coins in the store, sorry.
I even found change while working the polls. 2 pennies in a corner in the building where the polls were set up on Tuesday. This really bumped up my pay check from the county for working. lolz
Went into R-A on Wednesday to do that Aveeno/Nivea Deal and found this quarter under the infamous candy rack.
Thursday's R-A trip yielded this dime(can you guess where I found it?).
Change Found This Week... .69¢
Change Found This Year so Far....$50.83
* The weather here has gotten unseasonably warm and the heat is off again at least until the weekend is over. That's a win in my book too.
* Hubs paid for Chinese food for dinner Thursday night out of his WAM to thank me for volunteering to work the polls with him. I think it was a self-interested move since I don't cook on Thursday's and he didn't feel like making dinner but I'll take it. lol
That's about it from Chez Sluggy.
Tell us what frugal wins you had this week!
