Frugal Friday 2023.....the August 18th Edition

Welcome to Frugal Friday!

If my mother was still alive, today would have been her 89th Birthday. Here she is at my high school graduation. Dig my huge glasses! lol

And here she is in the mode she cherished most, being a Grandma to my three children. Here she is with my daughter about 7 years before she passed. There is no one like your mother and I miss her every day.....Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom!

There are very few Frugal wins this past week but here goes......

* Got a cantaloupe this past Monday for $1.97. Go me.

* Two PT appointments this past week which costs Zero OOP.

* Had an MRI at the behest of my neurologist on Wednesday. Lawd that is something I NEVER want to repeat!(Yah, I have a touch of claustrophobia.) At least I don't owe anything for it. 8-)

* Last Friday I hit up Dollar General as they had $6 off when you bought 2 gift cards(certain ones).

I got 2 x Lowe's gift cards. The $6 came to just over 10% off. Not great but better than a poke in the eye. That seems to be where we spend a lot of our cash these days-Lowe's and the Home Despot. ;-)

* Went to Ollie's and picked up a few food items and freezer bags on Thursday. Hubs got some cereals and nuts. I picked up some staples like Celery Seed, Breadcrumbs, marked down Stuffing, Dark Chocolate Chips and Ketchup. Also got some Cashews for me to add to Stir-Frys.

* Hit up Walmart and found this clearance find......

These blueberry yogurts were half price at $1.49 so $3.98 OOP. I had a $1 Ibotta rebate and a Shopmium $1/1 Digital Q so both packs cost me $1.00 combined.
