Let's see what frugal wins we had this past week here at ol' Chez Sluggy......
* I got the Friday Freebie last week at Weis(PMITA)Markets........
A whole cup of yogurt.
This has got to be the cheapest freebie they've had at .50¢.
Gee Weis, could you at least have given away TWO cups and made it a whole dollar's worth?!? lolz
* I received $7.30 back in cash rebates on Ibotta. 2 rebates on any items and $7 for buying 7 Lean Cuisine meals. They were part of the "Buy 6/Get $3 Back Deal" last week so were $2 each after that so $1 each after rebate. Nice on something the Daughter wanted me to buy anyway.
* I found money!
A whole penny. Not a good week for finding cash on the ground and I didn't go out much either so not many chances to find any.
I don't remember where it was found as it was last weekend so it was probably at one of the only two places I went-Rite-Aid or Weis. ;-)
* I found some good grocery deals last week...........
Small bottles of Texas Pete were $1 each at Weis. I had .55¢/2 Qs that doubled to $1.10 so each bottle was .45¢ after sale and Q.
Finlandia spreadable butter was on clearance for $1.74 and I used a $1/1 ManQ so .74¢.
The pumkin spice LOL butter spread was also on clearance for $1.29 and I used 2 x $1/1 IPQ so .29¢ each after sale/Qs.
Annie's mac and cheese were $1 at Weis on sale and I had .50¢/2 Qs that doubled to $1 so these were .50¢ per box after sale and Q. If I had found the Healthy Bites magazine in my store, there is a Weis Q for .50¢ Annie's in there and they could have been almost free w/stacked Qs but .50¢ a box will have to do. ;-)
* I received a Q from Purina in the mail..........
I don't usually but this kind of dog food but for free we''ll give it a go. 8-)
* Remember those smashed up glass candles I received from Bath and Body Works?
I finally got through to them on the phone to complain about the 3 candles that got smashed. They sent me two replacements and credited me for the third candle as they were out of that scent until next Christmas.
The candles arrived last week and intact for a change. Won't be ordering those through the mail again......
* I remembered to pick up more postage stamps before the price increase.........
I picked up a big lot in November when the Holiday stamps came out and I picked up another chunk this past week so we should be good now. I got $100 worth total so am saving $10 buying them before the .05¢ price increase next week. It's not much but it's something and tying up $100 in stamps isn't putting a crimp in our finances so why not?
Be sure and get stamps before the 27th.
* And to proof that I am the Queen of Frugal(like anyone had any doubts on that score by now, right? lol)here is something I picked up this past week..........
The bakery dept. at Weis had this sheet cake marked down 50% off on Tuesday so I had Hubs buy it and have them write on it(in purple).
The cake is pretty ugly IMHO and the decorating is messy but at half price it is a gorgeous thing of beauty! 8-)))
If y'all were here I'd invite you all over for a piece!
That's it from here this week............
Tell us your frugal wins and remember to stay the frugal course!
