Frugal Friday....the Nov. 22nd Edition

There are some Frugal wins over the past week.....

*  I had one dr. appointment with my Orthopedist.  Just a check in and I don't go back for 4 months. 8-)))

*  I did some more shopping for the food bank..........

There was a Quaker Products deal "Buy 2, Get 3 Free".  Last week I got Oatmeal packet boxes, this week I got 2 containers of oats and 3 boxes of pancake mix.

Then I got 2 shampoos, 1 Body Wash and 2 Deodorants.  I spent $7.97 out of pocket and then got $4 back from Swag Bucks for the deodorants and $2 in Points from Shop Kick for the same deodorants.

*  I hit my $5 Midweek Moneymaker Bonus which bulked up my rebating monies.  Last weekend's Bonus was only $1 so no, that didn't happen.

*  We also had no food waste last week.  We have lots of leftovers/planned overs so we'll be eating on this until next Thursday probably.

*  This week was time to get my Rock Star drinks.  Kroger had them for $2 so this was a $1 Moneymaker

*  We finally turned the heat on yesterday night.  Temps got into the 30'sF last night.

*  I found money!  

I found a dime in Walmart on the 18th, near the coin sorter machine.

I went back to Walmart the next day to check on an Rx and found 2 pennies, one at the pharmacy and one near the Customer Service area.

Outside I found a nickel in the parking lot.  Nickels are rare as hen's teeth to find in the wild in my experience.

I found these two pennies in Ollie's on Thursday.  One in the store and one in the parking lot.  Can you guess which was found where? ;-)

I found another penny at Wendy's on Thursday.

Total Found last week..... .15¢

Grand Total Found this Year.......$9.34 & 5.30 Euros

That's all I got.

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

Frugal Friday...the Nov. 8th Edition on Sunday

Sorry I am late with this post but I had a Radiofrequency Ablation early Friday morning so I was out of commission for a few days. I am finally feeling relief and up to doing my usual things.

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

* Did two PT sessions this week before the RFA procedure, no charge.  My last two sessions are next week.

*  I got a freebie this past week at the grocery store.....

I used a Velocity OTC offer to get this jar of Taco Bell Salsa Dip for Hubs.

*  I did the "Buy 3, Get $5 Off " Offer at Kroger in their personal care section to get these items.....

After Coupons, sale prices and the additional $5 off this was a .03¢ moneymaker and if the KCB works on the shampoo(I used a paper Q and not the digital Q)it should become a $3.03 moneymaker. 8-)

*  I did some other shopping, mostly for the food bank..........

Raspberry cocoa, a jug of Cat Treats, 2 boxes of Stress Tea. 4 graham cracker pie shells, 2 bags of pasta, 2 bags of cough drops, 4 tubes of kid's toothpaste, a Degree deodorant and a container of Airborne.  I already talked about the Kroger "Buy 3, Save $5" items.

*  When we went to checkout at Kroger on Saturday I found this hanging out of the Catalina machine there............

A $3 off your next shopping trip coupon.

Yes please! lol  There was also a coupon for $ off Beneful dog food, which was also used when we went back later that week.  And another $1.50 off your next shopping trip coupon came out.  8-)))

*  We did no eating out last week though Hubs did bring a pizza home Friday as I was in no shape to cook. ;-)

*  We also had no food waste last week.

*  The a/c and heat were not used most days and our electric bill came and it was $72 for the month.  Nice.

*  Had a semiannual checkup at the neurologist last week.  Every thing is stable and no medication changes were ordered.

*  I found money!  

I found a quarter lying on the ground under the carts outside of Aldi last Friday.  We picked up a quart of Greek yogurt and some bagged salads there.

                                          

I found a dime in Walmart at one of the self-checkout machines on Saturday.  I consider that my reward for braving Walmart crowds on a weekend. ;-)

Total Found last week..... .35¢

Grand Total Found this Year.......$9.07 & 5.30 Euros

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