Here are our frugal wins for this past week(and the week before while traveling).....
* I love finding marked down foods at Kroger(this really doesn't happen at Walmart). We bought salads, hummus, tuna salad and crackers on clearance to eat. And I did a little Ibotta shopping too. 8-)
* We also had no food waste last week. It's hard to have food waste when you aren't cooking. lol
* I cashed out a total of $167.18 between Checkout 51 and Ibotta last week.
* We bought gas at Kroger, using my points, when possible.
* We used gift cards when we had to dine out when traveling. There was one exception-we went to Cracker Barrel and Hubs had the gift card in his pocket and forgot to use it. 8-( So instead of eating at CB twice, we had to eat there 3 times. ugh
* I used credit card points to get free or reduced hotel rooms when we weren't staying with family.
* Entertainment last week was free tv or socializing with family.
* I found money!
I found a dime and a penny when we stopped at a Buc-ee's in Georgia on 12/28.
I found a penny when we stopped at a Chili's for dinner on 12/28 in Alabama.
I found a total of .36¢ at Walmart on 12/30-a quarter, a dime and a penny at different parts of the store.
I found .25¢ at Aldi on 12/31 when we went to pick up fresh produce and fruit.
And I found a fuzzy Geo. Washington .25¢ at Walmart by the pharmacy counter on 12/31 when went to pick up an Rx.
Grand Total Found this Year.......$10.70 & 5.30 Euros I had a strong finish with a found coins streak the last week of 2024.
(And I just counted up my coinage and it came to $12 even. I must have missed writing down $1.30 of my stash somewhere in 2024.)
That's all I got.
