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.

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?
