Frugal Friday....the January 14th Edition

So here are a few of the frugal-ish things that happened here this past week.......

*   No food waste so far. ;-)  Not much cooking either and eating leftovers happened as always.

*  I did a couple Rite-Aid transactions this week.......

Purposely spending down the Bonus Cash and converting what I can through Ibotta back into cash monies. 

*  I had 3 post coupons at Rite-Aid early in the week.........

1 x $2

2 x $1

Total of $4 in my Post Q/Refund envelope for 2022.

*  I made some returns at Rite-Aid too later in the week.......

$1.79(though the cashier gave me $1.80).  She botched the transaction right before and charged me for 3 of an item instead of two so she owed me this back.

$4.99 for a bottle of mouthwash(same cashier gave me $5.00 instead)  I'm thinking she doesn't like dealing with coinage. lol

And I returned a deodorant Thursday night and got a refund of $5.71.  I also returned two candy bars but those gave me BC back on my card.  Sometimes I get BC back and sometimes cash.....I never can figure out which. lol

*  I stayed home 4 of the last 7 days so I didn't spend anything then. Went out to R-A(of course), Walmart and Aldi when I did go out.  R-A to spend BC, Walmart to do Ibotta rebates and use gift cards and Aldi for eggs and bread as they are the lowest price in town on those.

*   I found money!

All 3 of these pennies under the candy racks by the register.

I went to Aldi on Thursday and saw scads of shopping carts un-corralled so I corralled 2 of them and got .50¢.

Then when I was leaving I handed over my cart to a lady and she shoved a coin in my hand.  I didn't bother to look at it and put it in my coat pocket.  Later I took a look at it and it wasn't a quarter but a $1 Coin!  That made my Aldi trip a $1.25 one. lol

Went to my R-A Thursday night to return something and found a nickel right when I walked into the store and a grody penny on the floor near the register.

Total Found in last Week...... $1.34
Total Found This Year......$1.70

January is looking GREAT for found money! 8-)))

That's about all I've got for this week.

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