Frugal Friday.....the Dec. 13th Edition

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

*  I love going to Kroger here as they usually have marked down salad kits.  These were between $1 something and just north of $2 each.  Remember that chopped salads are mostly cabbage not lettuce so they last a lot longer than lettuce ones.  I don't think I've ever bought a reduced price salad kit that went bad before we ate it.

I love the Dole Hummus Crunch ones especially.

*  We went out to lunch on Thursday to Texas.

They have the best sliced Brisket and the prices aren't bad either.

*  While in Texas we hit Kroger and I scored some marked down yogurt.........

I got 10 marked down yogurts please had a digital coupon for $2 off 10 cups.  Nice.

*  I hit my $5 Weekend Warrior and $5 Midweek Bonuses on Ibotta and I used a free $20 gift card at Walmart to purchase items we needed to get to my Bonus target there.

*   I put my Pfaltzgraf Christmas Dishes up on Facebook to sell locally.

I really don't need a service for 8 plus accessory pieces anymore.  Even though nobody wants fine china anymore, Holiday themed sets are still valuable.  If I don't sell it here, because this area is so poor, we'll take it with us to an area with people of more means.

My son is going to take the fine china that my grandmother bought me after I was born. 8-)

*   I found a great deal at Aldi last Friday.

They had 1lb. bags of fresh green beans for .49¢  per bag!

So I bought 3 bags and we've been eating a LOT of green beans this past week. lol

* I went to Kroger on Saturday for their $6 Candle Sale.

I love a good candle so I bought all of these for me!  The Gingerbread Cookie ones smell especially nice. ;-)

*  We also had no food waste last week.  We ate everything or put it into the freezer.

*  It was time again to buy 2 Rock Star energy drinks.

I got them at Kroger on sale for $2 each and received $5.50 back($5 from Rock Star and another .50¢ from Ibotta), making these a $1.50 moneymaker.

*  Entertainment last week was free tv or playing with the dogs.

*  Just a tale of caution, especially at this time of year.  If you use credit cards be sure to check your charges if not daily, at least weekly.  I do this and I am glad I do because I found a charge on one card for a Bulking Solution supposedly bought online that I did not purchase and on another card there was a charge for puppy socializing classes x 3 and another charge by the same person for a Feline Cafe Lounge experience, both were in Maryland.  A call to the credit card company and those charges were reported as fraudulent and the account was shut down and a new card is in route.  Scammers try to use your card at the Holidays, thinking since you are buying lots of stuff/gifts, hoping you won't notice and they will get away with their fraud.

*  I found money!  

I found a single penny last Friday at Aldi.

Total Found last week..... .01¢

Grand Total Found this Year.......$9.55 & 5.30 Euros  I may hit $10 found before the year is out at this point if I can find .45¢ before the month is out.

That's all I got.

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