Frugal Friday......the January 18th Edition

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!

Frugal Friday......the September 1st Edition

Welcome to September everyone!
A new month and the end of Summer(though technically there are 21 more days until the Autumnal Equinox).
I feel like August dragged on forever, don't you?  We've only been home from our road trip since August 15th but it seems like August was 60 days long to me. lolz
Enough of this chit chat, let's get on to what we're here for-the Frugal wins of the week.

* I picked up a box of Puffs tissue and got paid .20¢(after tax)to bring it home.


*  We did a whole lot of staying home last week.  We did some cleaning and small home projects and read mostly.  The laundry was done during the off-peak hours so we saved on electricity costs too.  Staying home=not spending money!

*  I signed up for e-coupons at my local Shursave market(they don't take IPQs there, just insert or emailed "glossy" Qs).  They had 2 items that were free after e-Qs last week but when I went to get them Saturday the items were out of stock so I got rain checks.  This week they had 2 items(1 free and 1 for .99¢ after e-Q)so I clipped those Qs and picked up the items plus the 2 rain check items, paying .99¢ for all this........


*  We got Subway one night for dinner last week.  I combined a Q(Any price 3 subs for $17)and a gift card to buy them.  Using the Q meant less money used from my gift card.

*  While at the Shursave market I also bought this.....

6 packages of Crystal Farms cheese(sliced and bar).  It was on sale for $1.88 a 7-8 oz. package this week.  Anything under $2 for 8 oz. is my "buy price" so it was a good deal on sale.
But what made this better was that I had 3 x $1/2 Crystal Farms products ManuQs(which Shursave would take).  You'll remember the free coupon inserts I got at the motel in Fargo ND I mentioned 2 FFs ago?

These are were the Qs came from and I got them for free too. 8-)))
So $1.38 per package of cheese after sale AND Qs was even nicer.

*  I earned enough in hotel points on the road trip to get two $50 gift cards for free.  They arrived last week........


$50 for Lowe's and $50 for Amazon.  A few more nights in motels this year and I'll have enough points for another $50 gift card.

That's about it for us last week.
What frugal things happened in your world?
