Frugal Friday....the November 17th Edition

There are very few(if any)Frugal wins this past week so here goes....

*  I went to PT 3 x this past week.  Man, does that wear me out and I usually need a nap in the afternoon.  Good thing I've hit all my deductibles and co-pays so I'm not shelling out cash for this service.

*  Grocery shopping this past week--Just a little bit.  Unlocked my Ibotta sides so Hubs picked those up while I was at PT and those turned out to be better than free, then we hit Kroger to finish my Weekend Bonus and unlock my free Turkey.  We used the travel stipend card funds to pay so no OOP.

*  I had an Ollie's 15% off any order coupon so we hit Ollies' on Thursday and picked up a few food items, a book for Hubs and some doggie treats.  Nothing much else we needed to we didn't spend or save a lot.

*  We had lunch at the Applebee's nearby since I still have lots of gift cards for there and the location closer to us shutdown.  The lunch was a bit disappointing as the waitress got our order wrong(or the kitchen did)and my hamburger was practically incinerated. 8-(

*  I had 1 doctor appointment this week at the pain clinic.  They scheduled me for a back MRI, this one is in an open MRI not like that brain MRI I had that wasn't in an open machine and about sent me shrieking out of the building.   At least I don't have any co-pays or deductibles.  go me.

*  I found money!

Nope, skunked again.  It's hard to look for change when you are concentrating on not falling down. lol

Total Found in last Week.... .00¢
Total Found this Year.......$3.45

That's all I got.

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

Blogging will be taking a backseat to getting me healed so there might not be many posts here for the foreseeable future.8-)

Frugal Friday....the March 3rd Edition

Welcome to Frugal Friday!   

There are a few Frugal win this past week......

*  On Monday I had to get out of the house.  So we hit a craft burger place/bar that does Trivia on Monday evening.  We ate at home and just got a beer and water.  Had We eaten here too it would have cost $50+.

*  On Wednesday we found a bread outlet and went to check it out.

$1.30 for a loaf sure beats $4.49 at the grocery store.  They even had some Dave's killer bread/bagels for $3.00 each.  Most of what we bought got put into the freezer.  Daughter loves strawberry shortcake and I got strawberries so if she makes it over for liver and onions on Saturday I've got dessert for her. 8-)

*  Hubs bought another interior door handle for the Master bedrooms to replace the exterior door handle that was on that door.   He also replaced the innards of the 2 sinks' faucets in that bathroom. Inexpensive to replace ourselves vs. paying a handyman and plumber to do this.

*  I found money!
Nope.  Skunked again.

Total Found in last Week.... .00¢

That's all for this past week.

Frugal Friday......the April 10th Edition

Well, staying at home seems quite frugal, does it not?
Don't go anywhere so you can't spend money and don't need to buy gas for the car because it's now just a lawn ornament.
Frugal but oh so boring......

* Here's a photo of Chester to cheer y'all up.  I trimmed his fur and gave him a bath after this photo.  No grooming bills is frugal, right?

* There are no Friday Freebies for the duration nor Fantastic Friday deals.  I see that Weis(PMITA)Markets does now have a weekly ad again. hurrah!

* I found no money this week.  *whomp whomp*  You have no idea how sad this makes me.
Found Money This Week...... .0¢
Found Money This Year so far....$44.65

* Hubs and I drove to Applebee's on Wednesday and got meals to-go.  We sat in the car and they brought them out to us.  I used $25.63 in gift card credit so only paid OOP $12.73 for 3 meals.
There was a note in the bag from Applebee's(no picture because Hubs threw it away before I tried to snap a pic)about how they appreciate our supporting them during this time, as they are a local franchise so this lockdown in hurting what is essentially a small business.

* We were out on Wednesday because Ocean State Job Lot was giving away tablecloths and napkins so folks can make masks for themselves or others.  I went in and picked up some napkins/a tablecloth for the mask making I'm doing here.  I also needed plastic coated wire(for the bridge of the noses on some of what I am making)and 1/8" cording so I bought that there. We also were out of pig ears for Dixie so I picked those up too there.  That's about the only thing that keeps her busy....she blows through any other type of chewy treat fast!

* While we were nearby I went into Malacari's for some produce, bread and lunch meat.

* I bought 2 containers of Allegra at Rite-Aid last Saturday.  I had to go in for Rxs anyway and Allegra was on sale plus I had Qs and $20 in BC to spend.
That $20 prepaid Visa I earned in February that never came?  I called last Friday and it was an outside vendors offer at Rite-Aid and there is no way of getting my long lost Visa card so they gave me Bonus Cash.  I much would have preferred that prepaid Visa car I earned but pandemic yadda, yadda, whatcha gonna do?
So I needed to spend that BC and allergy meds were the best thing I could think of and there was Zero OOP after adding in some Rite-Aid gift card cred too.
And I'm $24.75 short of earning $15 on SavingStar now for buying Allegra.

* There's a thing I can mention.....I earned $6.10 on Ibotta this past week for buying that Allegra(2 x $3 Allegra, .10¢ on any item). lolz

* Since my allergies(pollen, hay fever, ragweed)are kicking into high gear I tried to order off of Walmart online some generic Claritin.  The only containers they have were small amounts(with larger prices)but they had a third party seller on there selling an Irish made brand of generic Claritin for much less.  I ordered 2 x 300 tablet bottles and added 2 packs of Great Value sensitive type band-aids and got free shipping for it all even though it shipped separately.

* I sat down after going through what I've got in the freezer and came up with a list of meals I can make without having to buy anything else(well maybe a veg or two).  I came up with 24 meals.  That should empty out the chest freezer(except for a smoked ham and a turkey breast).

* We got Domino's again last Friday using already paid for gift cards.

That's about it from Chez Sluggy.

And

Anybody have any frugal wins this past week?
