There are very few Frugal wins this past week but here goes....
* I successfully used up odds and ends and incorporated them into new meals and no food got thrown out. 8-) I cooked up the rest of an open pack of bacon-half went into the Liver meal(come on Anne! You know you'd love my liver dinner)and the other half went into BLTs for Thursday night's dinner.
* I got 2 MRIs done on Tuesday of my neck and base of my skull for the Neurologist(paid nothing). I have 2 more MRIs scheduled later today for my shoulders for the Orthopedist(again, nothing will be owed for those).
* There was no spending on eating out this week.
* I had a dental cleaning on Wednesday. Since I have no dental insurance at this point it cost me $$$ OOP. But better to spend that now than not go to the dentist until I have a problem, so this is frugal, right? They found nothing of concern so I am good to go until the end of October. Maybe I should show up for that Halloween appointment wearing fake vampire teeth? lolz
* I did a little Ibotta rebating on Thursday......
If I buy one more item with an Ibotta rebate before Sunday night, I'll earn an additional $5 for hitting the Weekend Bonus(plus whatever the rebate for that one item is). 8-)
Some of this will go into the Donation Box, some to family and some we will keep. Nothing will be wasted.
The only other food purchases was a pack of Romaine lettuce and 2 cans of Water Chestnuts which came to $5.60.
* I found money!
I hit the jackpot of self-checkout machines at Walmart on Thursday(the only day I went out to a store). Someone had left ALL their change in the coin return. I guess they had gotten back their tax return refund and felt flush enough with dolla bills y'all so they didn't want no stinkin' change back. Sweet! I'll gladly take it!! Bonus, I didn't have to pick this all up off the floor...
Total Found in last Week.... .53¢
Grand Total Found this Year.......$2.56
That's all I got.
