Frugal Friday......October 25th Edition

There are a few Frugal wins over the past week.....

Got 4 boxes of cereal for the food bank this past week--

On sale for $1.99 with $1 back on Ibotta so $3.96 OOP total.  Another item for the Food Bank.  Kids need kid food sometimes, even if they are poor and going to the food bank.

Got some more items between Kroger and Walmart last week.....

A free AirWick warmer, 2 bags of Beggin' Strips for $1.40 each, 2 3-packs of Beneful dog food for $1.24 each, 3 single cans of Beneful for .48¢ each, 2 Gatorade Zeros for $1.50 each, 3 Flavortown Sauces for .99¢ each, 5 packets of hot cocoa for .35¢ each, a Degree deodorant for .99¢, 2 Mayos for $2.98 total, a Bachan Japanese sauce on clearance and part of the Kroger mega event for $2.23 and 2 bottle of Melatonin BOGO and coupon for $2.99 together.

I forgot to include the 2 boxes of Annie's Super Mac for .99¢ total, 4 Kinder bars for negative $1.24, marked down 4-pack corn on the cob for $1.58, On the Border salsa for $1.58. 3 lbs. of strawberries for $5 total, 1 lb. of butter for $2.49 and a pack of Airborne tablets for $3.27.

The Flavor Town sauces, the deodorant and the hot cocoa are for the Food Bank too.

*  Not much else going on here.  Home health has been coming 3 x a week for the wound on my calf and I'm still using a hospital bed in order to sleep comfortably.

I hope to resume PT next week as the Wound Doc will be releasing me from care. rah

We've had the a/c off some days and certainly don't need to put the heat on because this is Hell's Front Porch.  I laugh when I hear folks down here say it's so cold.  Honey, you have no clue what cold is if you've never been in the North in Winter. lol

My typing and writing is improving but still not back to normal.  I'm keeping at it. ;-)

*  I ordered 2 of my Rxs and they were free as I hit my deductible so much earlier  in the year.

*  I found money!  

Well no, no monies were found this past week.  It's hard to find money when you don't go anywhere.....well I did go to Kroger and Walmart but alas, no coins found.

Total Found last week..... .00¢

Grand Total Found this Year.......$8.68 & 5.30 Euros

That's all I got and all I can do right now.

Frugal Friday on Saturday, July 22nd

Welcome to Frugal Friday!   

There are very few Frugal wins this past week and not everything here would be considered frugal but here goes......

*  Being on this restrictive short term eating plan meant we spent very little at the grocery store this past week,  under $50.  The freezer is packed with food for Hubs to eat(that are not part of what I can consume right now), so as long as he remembers to thaw something, he eats. lol

*  Been cropping and renaming photo files and uploading videos to my You Tube channel.

* Saw a Neurologist(will wonders never cease?)this past week instead of in February.  Yay!  Got put on an Rx and this drug is FREE until I hit Medicare in January(as are all my meds).

*  Went to Physical Therapy for my back.   Basically did water aerobics in their pool.  No copays so again FREE.  I go back 2 x next week and the week after, and the week after, etc.

*  I found money! 
Nope.  Nada. Zilch.

Total Found in last Week.... .00¢
Total Found this Year.......$2.49

That's all for this past week.  Just sitting home is frugal, right?

It's too damn hot here(triple digit heat indexes for weeks now!)so I rarely leave the house except to hobble to the car with a/c then to wherever I am going that also has a/c.  Can you say I am over Summer down here on Satan's front porch??

Frugal Friday....the January 6th Edition on January 7th

 Frugal wins are few and far between lately......

                 My leg looking much better!

*  I got my stitches out on Tuesday.  That's the only time I've left the house since New Years Eve when we went to daughter's house.  Stitches came out and steri-strips went on and she pressed a bunch of blood blisters and cleaned it up real good. I am still on restriction walking around much and another course of antibiotics as well as two different ointments, one of which is a medical grade honey to seal the wound and keep the area free of possible infection. My leg is taking it's sweet time to heal and the doc wants me to see a Wound Care Specialist but they never contacted me so I know what I'll be doing next week. 8-(

*  We've had some take-out since I am not up to cooking/standing most days.  That's an expense I don't like and an incentive for me to get better soon.  Hubs tries to cook but it's not his "thing".  We are getting by with simple meals and me sending him to the grocery store for provisions.

*  Hubs goes on Medicare in a few months time when he turns 65.  He talked with one of those folks his old job hired to help people run the obstacle course of which plans to pick.  When all is said and done after he goes on Medicare our healthcare premiums will go down by about $800 a month.  I'll take that as a win. 8-)))

*  I found NO money this past week!  I didn't go anywhere this past week so.....  My change finding is off to a roaring stop in 2023.  If anyone wants to send me their loose change I won't object. hehehe

Total Found in last Week.... .00¢
Total Found This Year.....00¢

*  Not going anywhere means I can't spend money so that's a win! 8-)

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