Frugal Friday....the March 15th Edition

There are very few Frugal wins this past week but here goes....

*  I successfully used up odds and ends and incorporated them into new meals and no food got thrown out. 8-)

*  I did some Ibotta rebating this past week and ended up spending $6.56 total after all the Qs/Rebates/Points.  Some of what I got that we don't/can't use will be donated.

*  We used a Subway coupon for 3 subs for $17.99 on the last day it was valid. $6 each for a sub(like in the pre-Covid days)and we used a partial gift card up.  Hubs got what he wanted, I got what I wanted and we agreed on the third sub because we would split it.  Lunch for me was half a tuna sub and dinner was half a chicken sub.  I've still got the other half of the chicken sub so that will be lunch or dinner today. Hubs is on his own since he ate his whole 12" sub for lunch yesterday. lolz

*  I got my eyeball zapped last Friday at the creepy eye doc's office.  My supplement plan paid the 20% Medicare didn't pay so no OOP for that.

*  I found money!

The March 9th Walmart trip I found 3 pennies in various spots in the store.

And on the March 12th trip I found a dime in the self-checkout coin return and then another penny by the drink cooler while leaving the self-checkout area.

Total Found in last Week.... .14¢

Grand Total Found this Year.......$2.03

That's all I got.  

Any frugal wins in your neck of the woods?  Let's hear all about them!

Frugal Friday.....the February 17th Edition

Welcome to Frugal Friday!   

There are a very few Frugal win this past week......

*  Didn't go anywhere except to wound care this past week and a trip last Friday to Walmart(where I got to run over people with their motorized carts).  I guess staying home all week is frugal(ie-not spending money)but it's boring as hell!

*  The freebies/moneymakers or almost freebies from last week's grocery trips---

  *  1 free Zero Sugar Starry soda(no photo because I drank it already)

  *  2 free Pepsi Zero Sugar sodas(Pic of only one because I drank the other one)

  *  1 free Air Wick Essentials Starter Kit
  *  1 half price Yogurt cup

*  I had Hubs run out on Tuesday to Super 1 Foods for ice cream........

They carry Blue Bell Ice Cream around here(we are only 10 miles from Texas after all).  Super 1 had the half gallon containers for $4.97.  That's $3.01 less than even Walmart so it was a deal.  I highly recommend this "Moo-llennium Crunch" flavor.  It reminds me of Ben and Jerry's with all the textures of toppings mixed in. ;-)

*  Hubs gave me a $200 gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond for Christmas. Not a wise move if you ask me as they've been having financial diffculties.  Of course, this week BBB announced they were closing the local to us store and my leg is in no condition to spend it at the store anyway.  So I went online and spent it on necessities for the house-a cabinet to put my printer on and store supplies in, a runner for the top of the buffet(I only have a Turkey day and Xmas one so need something for Spring/Summer), another set of shelving for the laundry/utility room so I can keep pantry goods on, and a stainless steel set of cookware.  We still can't find the lids to my All-Clad cookware and Hubs thinks that box got tossed in the move.  On sale and with a coupon this set was about $50.  I am hoping these lids fit my regular set, if not, I'll have to use these new pans/pots when I need a lid on it.  sigh  Of course, once the new set arrives we'll find the box of lids, right?  Never fails........
Anyway, I used the gift card up before they go out of business and got some good deals on things we needed.

*  This past week in honor of Super Bowl Subway was running a BOGOFree deal on subs(It ends today, use code FLBOGO).  We did the deal twice this past week using a gift card I bought at Dollar General around Thanksgiving that was discounted by 20% making it better than half price.  Double win there. 8-)

*  I found money!

Nope.  Only went to the Wound Care on Wednesday and home again.  Did make a quick trip last Friday to Walmart though.  No money at Walmart even. 8-(

Total Found in last Week.... .00¢
Total Found this Year....... .36¢

That's about all I've got for this past week.
