Frugal Friday.....June 22nd Edition

Let's take a look around and see what frugal wins we had this past week.........

*   Basically free after BC mouth wash at R-A this week....

*  I sold some diapers locally this week.....

$65.50 back in my pocket.

*  Hubs picked up the Weis Friday Freebie last Friday.......

Free Weis "Pop-Tarts".  Somebody around here will eat these(not me). 8-P

                                     
*  More free items at Rite-Aid last Friday.  The toothpaste was totally free and didn't use any of my Bonus Cash even!

*  Remember that Aleve I also bought at Rite-Aid last week?
There is an offer for a free movie ticket this Summer when you buy qualifying Aleve products.  $5 off a ticket for 1 bottle, $13 off two tickets for 2 bottles(when purchased on the same receipt).
Details on the offer HERE.
I received my movie ticket code on Wednesday.
I'll use this the day Hubs decides to do his beer brewing since the smell is overpowering to me and I'll want to be somewhere other than the house.  I'll do a little grocery shopping after the movie since I'll be near a few food stores down there.

* I earned .25¢ back on Ibotta. whoopee! lolz

*  Hubs and I had a yearning for some Chinese food so we had a lunch date out at our local Asian restaurant. Lunch prices and lunch sized portions are good for our wallet and our waistlines.  8-)

*  I picked the first greens from our garden this week......

4 ounces of leaf lettuce.  Ok let's call it a quarter pound because that sounds like more. lol

*  I bought 2 pair of shoes on Thursday online.  Easy Spirit was having a one day sale on the Summer Solstice. (I know how Belinda loves these things at the grocery store!) 
I found something I could use that was on sale plus purchasing them on the Solstice gave me a code for an additional 30% off.....AND free shipping too! 8-)

*  In conjunction with buying the shoes I went through a cash back site to make the purchase and earned back $1.10 cash, so an additional discount on the footwear.

So what frugal-ness did you experience this past week?
Tell us all about your wins.....

Frugal Friday.....December 8th Edition

As the Holidays roll around, being frugal is all about maximizing your savings when you need/want to spend money.
Of course we are also doing all those non-Holiday type things to stay frugal(using electricity off-peak hours, turning off lights when not in a room, not showering every day if we aren't dirty/going out of the house, staying home, running errands together, etc.)but this time of year, it seems to be all about the shopping, doesn't it?
So here are my "wins" this past week............

*  I found a penny in the Rite-Aid parking lot!
No matter how little, found money is free money.  ;-)

*  Among the deals I did this past week at Weis(PMITA)Markets was this one........

These were all part of the Mix and Match/Buy 6/Get $6 instantly Off Deal.
I was able to used Qs on 4 of them and stack Qs on 2 of those so $21.94 sale price-$6 discount-$8 Qs=$7.94 OOP for all 6 items.  The black cherry/chocolate flavor of Enlightened ice cream is really good....at least to me it is. 8-)))

I also picked up 5 Minute Maid OJ cartons(our December OJ purchase)and got another one of these......

$2 off your next purchase(good through 1/5/18).  I now have 4 of these($8 off total)to use for any Weis shopping I do the rest of December.

*  Doing my grocery shopping at Weis I paid with what was left on that Prepaid Visa card I bought at Weis(and earned 20 Points for buying it).  I spent over $50 so now I have 40 Points toward a free meat item/lasagna.  Only 10 more points(spend $50 or refill an rx at Weis will get me to 50 Points).

*  I used Coke codes on caps to get this...........

A $5 Target e-card.
I tried to get a Amazon $5 e-card but am having problems receiving the email with the secret code to claim that prize. ugh.  It's always something, ain't it?

* I don't wait until Christmas to shop for gifts.  Though I don't do as much buying throughout the year I did pick up the bulk of my presents before November hit.  After pulling the "gift box" out of hiding and going through it there were still a few holes to fill so I went online the weekend of Black Friday/Monday to see what I could do about filling those holes.
My order from Kohl's arrived this past week from CyberMonday shopping(the online order I did).......well half of the order did.

Between sale price, discounts and 50% of $8 promotional Yes2Rewards gift I spent $9.62 for both of these flannel shirts.  I LOVE the suggested retail pricing of $35 on these shirts.  Who in the world pays that for a flannel shirt??? lolz

I also got my Daughter a birthday gift(can't mention or show what because she reads this sometimes)and did a store pick-up on that one and we went on Monday to pick that up.  I paid $18.46 on that reg. $29.99 item.  My whole 4 item order(also got myself a shirt)was $53.56 so shipped free and I received $15 in Kohl's cash and a $5 Yes2Rewards for this order so I now had $20 in free script to spend.
So when we were picking up the gift for Daughter that shipped to the store I browsed around and found some more stuff for College Boy........

College Boy said he's put on a little weight so his pants were tight in the waist so I found a pair of nice cargo shorts an inch larger and this nice plaid l/s shirt(in colors he likes/wears)which will come in handy next month when he starts his internship.  Both items were on clearance and after my $20 in script and my 25% off discount code I spent $4.35 OOP.

*  And the total in Plenti Points spent down at Rite-Aid on Wednesday for all these goodies?

$10.93 in Plenti Points.

I spent $55.93 in PPs and earned $45 in new PPs, so $10.93 of my Plenti Points "spent down".  If only they had 6 more Remfresh on the shelves I could have made ALL this as $1.13 moneymaker!
I may return the sinus kit($8.23)and 1 of the toothpastes($3.91).  In that case that's $12.14 off my total PPs spent(neither item gave me new Plenti Points)so we'll have a $1.21 Moneymaker. 8-))

So what did you have in the Frugal Win column this week?

And as always...........

Frugal Friday....the October 20th Edition

Well another week has come and gone here at Chez Sluggy.
I can't think of much that we did that was frugal and worth noting.

*  Adopting a puppy is decidedly not frugal and that's what took up the bulk of my week. lolz

Here is our newest member of the family on his ride home to our house.
We have had to buy "things" this week to keep him healthy, happy and safe.  Tried to use coupons and get deals and just buy what was needed so no frou-frou doggie clothes or gem studded collars and such.  We got a daytime crate, leash and a pet gate at Ollie's(Good Stuff Cheap)and a couple of toys with a 10% off discount ticket I had.  Puppy food, a snuggly bed and collar for 20% off at the pet store.  Then Hubs went up to Walmart and procured was is really a cat carrier for his sleeping quarters at night.  Yes, he is that small. lolz
Money spend at the vet on a check-up, shots and medications were essential and we are cash flowing all his expenses.

*  No eating out this week as we don't want to both be away from the new puppy for a long stretch at a time(potty training time, ya know).

*  I talked about the diapers I bought to turn around and resell and the free TRU gift cards I earned and the small Weis trip I did.
I went back to Rite-Aid this week to spend my $10 Catalina the last diaper transaction earned me since I was there picking up rxs anyway.

3 x bags of chocolate Halloween candy on sale $5=$15.00
2 x Speed Stick deodorant on sale $2.99=$5.98
SubTotal.......$20.98

Coupons Used
1 x $1.50/3 Hershey candy bags ManuQ=$1.50
2 x $2/1 Speed Stick deodorant R-A In-AdQ=$4.00
1 x BOGOFree Speed Stick(certain varieties)ManuQ=$2.99
1 x $10 OYNO CatalinaQ=$10.00
Coupon Total........$18.49

$20.98-$18.49=$2.49
I paid with $2.49 in Plenti Points and earned $3.00 back in new PPs($3 wyspend $30 on select candy bags).
Not bad, spent down $2.49 and earned $3 in new PPs so a .51¢ moneymaker.

* On a Frugal "Fail" note-I neglected to notice and submit for a $1 cash rebate on my Checkout51 account on Wednesday(the last day to submit for the previous week's receipts)for the Sandwich Bros. item I bought.  There was a $1 off 1 purchase rebate that would have brought that Weis shop down to $12.52.  Oh well, nobody can win them all, right? ;-)

Any Frugal Wins at your house lately?
