Frugal Friday...The Last Two Weeks

 

Here are the frugal wins for this past week....


*  We have been hemorrhaging money lately.  Can't be helped.  I really don't want to go through this again.  Parts of it were a nightmare!

*  We got take-out only once at the new place.

*   The journey up here wasn't very frugal(more on that later)but we got to PA in one piece.

*  We finished up the Goodwill donations in LA. Go us!

*  Everything it turns out wouldn't fit on the moving truck(ugh)so some items got left behind and I wasn't there to  decide what got left.(double ugh)  Not frugal.

*  We've been paying deposits for services in PA which hasn't been very frugal but it is what it is and can't be avoided.

*  Entertainment the week before last was watching some tv shows and packing boxes. lol  It's hard to spend money if you are sitting home packing up your stuff. ;-)  Last week the "fun" was setting up the house.  And shopping for necessities and food.

*  We needed some room darkening curtains(the house came with blinds)for the bedroom so we hit Ollie's("Good Stuff Cheap!")and found what we needed at a cheaper price.

*   I got my mojo back and I found money!


I found .37 total at assorted stops along the way to PA.


I found .27¢ at the Aldi on the Sunday before last.
         
Then I found .01¢ at the Doctor's office on the Tuesday before last.


I found two pennies at Dollar General last Saturday.

I found a nickel at Walmart on the 21st.

Then I found another penny in a different Walmart parking lot.

Found Money The Past Two Weeks..... .73¢

Grand Total Found in 2025....$3.90

That's all I got.


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

The 2014 Decluttering Season has Begun!

It's officially Spring!
And you know what that means?
Why, it's the beginning of "Donation Season".....that time of year when I thaw out(or rather the weather thaws out)and I dig through my hoard of "stuff" and start doling it out to local groups in need of  donations of "stuff".
Here's our first batch of 2014.....


                                  Christmas stuff
                            a big plastic storage tub
                 pieces of fabric and tubes of hair depilatory
                                   stuffed critters
                                   more stuffed critters
                          a necklace and 2 Christmas ornaments


There now!  I know this is ultra-boring but I feel like I got something accomplished this week.....lolz
