Frugal Friday 2023...the August 11th Edition

Welcome to Frugal Friday!   

When will this living hell of a Summer end???  And the photo doesn't even mention the "Heat Index temp" here.  This photo is just from a random day last week.

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

*  Got a few things at Kroger last Friday....pounds of blueberries and strawberries for .99¢ each, reduced fresh produce like .54¢ lb. mushrooms, slaw mix for .75¢, a salad kit for $1, a lb. of local Kielbasi for under $4, a lb. of salmon for $7.49, non-green peppers for .99¢ each and BOGO olive oil.

*  Staying inside mostly, needless to say, due to this extremely warm Summer still.  Who else thinks that Mr. Willis Carrier should be canonized a saint?!?  Right up there with him is Mr. Frederick Jones who invented the first portable a/c unit. 8-))

*  Two PT appointments this past week which costs Zero OOP.

*  After PT last Friday we went to Kroger(see ABOVE)..  I had points worth .30 discount per gallon of gas at Kroger so Hubs got gas there and used my discount.

*  My new clothes arrived last Saturday...

I needed a black dress as I had none.  When we went to pack up and move our wardrobes in PA the black dress I had from 16 years ago when Hubs mom died was nowhere to be found.  Roaman's was running a 60% off your first item and 40% off your 2nd item deal(really, if you got items that were the same price it just meant they were both 50% off).  So I got another of the same dress in a different color as more of my clothing is just hanging off me so these are a size smaller.  I also had a $10 Reward Certificate that was expiring this month and a Free Shipping code I could use.

And it's a good thing I had that free ship code.  They charged $19.99 for shipping just these 2 lightweight dresses(but I didn't pay that w/the code).  And in that package were all these various catalogs from them and their affiliated companies.  I think this all weighed MORE than the dresses!!  And I am certainly not paying shipping on all this cr*p I didn't ask for or want!

*  The doggies got groomed!

They were way overdue too.......

Some shaggy dogs.

And the after......

Nice and clean and short cuts.

We found a local person who does dog grooming instead of paying out the nose for PetSmart workers to do it.

She charges less than PS, did a better job and they are looking mighty spiffy(and smell much better)!

*  I found money! 

A penny on the floor at Kroger last Friday near the registers.  This may be the wrong penny photo but whatever.  It's a penny and if this isn't the "one", the actual one looks just like this(but maybe with more wear on it). lol

Total Found in last Week.... .01¢
Total Found this Year.......$3.03

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

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