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.
Anybody have any frugal wins this past week?
