Let's have a look around at the past week and see what frugal wins happened.......
* I got the Weis Freebie..........
A package of 2 pie crusts.
A very useful thing this time of year.
* I found money!
Last Friday I spied a silver coin in one of the check-outs at Weis(PMITA)Maarkets on the way in. It happened to be the worst cashier's line but as I stood in line I spied this coin on the floor next to the aisle where the canned fruit was..........
Then I picked up the silver coin........
It turned out to be a nickel. There was also a coupon on the floor there too which I picked up. ;-)
Then I saw this beyond the checkouts...........
And then I saw this too before I got to the door to leave..........
Ok, not money but a sweet little binder clip. Hubs loves clips of any kind so I Purel-ed it and gave it to him. lolz
On Saturday Hubs and I went out to run errands........
I spied this shiny penny on the floor in Target. I directed Hubs to pick it up since he was closer. Hubs then tried to pocket this find himself. I explained that I only asked him to pick it up so I didn't mow him over to get to it because he was between me and the penny. *snort*
A quick stop at Aldi while Hubs stayed in the car for butter(limit 6 at $1.99 lb.). A lady handed me her cart and wouldn't take my quarter so I gained a quarter there.
Another penny on another trip into Weis to get my free Turkey on Sunday.
On Monday I found these 2 pennies in Weis at two different places in the store.
Another penny while at Malacari's produce market by the register.
And then on the sidewalk outside Rite-Aid when I went to have an Rx refilled.
This penny under the candy shelf by the register at Rite-Aid on Wednesday when I picked up a prescription.
And this dime Thanksgiving morning by the register at Rite-Aid waiting to check-out.
Grand total of found change last week........74¢.
Nice.
* I found shrimp on clearance for 50% off at Weis............
These packages of 5 skewers of shrimp were marked down to $2.50 from $5.00. Each skewer has 6 shrimp and according to the weight the marked down price comes out to $4.00 lb.
Not the biggest shrimp but will be good grilled or taken off the skewers and put into Scamp or something.
* Dixie has grown out of her little dog collar plus the ring is so small it's difficult to get here hooked onto the dog leash to take her out.
I cleaned out my desk drawer this past week and found something I hadn't remembered keeping..........
The dog collar for my chihuahua who died years ago. It's wider and has a larger ring on it. I just had to put her tags on it and adjust the length to fit her. The collar is still in great shape.
I saved the cost of having to buy a new dog collar. Have you seen what those can cost in a pet shop?
* I used all my Weis Points before they expired on Thursday.......
I had 700 points so I got a free turkey(400 pts.), a $12+ smoked ham for $5.07(100 points)and .20¢ off my gas fill-up for the remaining 200 points.
I only earned just over 200 in Weis points from buying groceries during this time period so the other 500 points was earned from doing a survey each week(100 points per survey).
Nice.
* I got my poll pay this week............
Wow. Such a lucrative job!
2 hours of training and a 14+ work day comes out to $7.81 per hour. ;-)
But it IS tax-free so that's something.
Now what to spend it on, hmmmm.............
* I made all the Thanksgiving food(except for the cranberry "glop")from scratch.......
I was especially glad I had almost everything to make the pies already in my food stockpile(just needed pie crust and got that as a freebie from Weis last Friday-see item above).
Kim's Sissie might recognize this pie pan one of the Pumpkin pies was in. ;-)
These no-bake Cherry Cheesecake Pies might not look like much since I waited until serving to put the Cherry pie filling on them but they were well received by the Turkey Day diners here. 8-)
That's about it that I can remember from this past week.
I am off shortly to hit Rite-Aid again. 8-)
If you go out into the insanity of retailing today please be careful!
What frugal wins did y'all have this past week?
Let us know!
