Alaska Bound Sluggy

Frugal Friday....the August 20th Edition

 Well this wasn't a stellar fugal week in some ways but in others, it was..........

*  Only two trips to any store this week....

Both to Rite-Aid and "made" $21.87 on those trips.

*  I resisted the urge to do any Ibotta for this weekend as I got a $5 Bonus.  Must resist....must resist!

*  I found no money this week.  *Whomp Whomp*  Kind of a result of sitting my butt home. lol

Total Found This Week...00¢
Total Found This Year...$13.67

*  We used up all the leftovers this week and did minimal laundry.

*  Got ahead of a few things here with no driving anywhere.

*  Gave away ready produce we couldn't use before leaving.  Hopefully when we get back there will still be tomatoes ripening.  BLTs....yum!

That's about it.  I know it's a piss poor frugal showing.  Whatcha gonna do?

Tell me about all your frugal wins while I am off spending my children's inheritance in the Land of Cold and Snow..... 8-))

Bon Voyage Soon Y'all

 Some cute puppies waiting for a treat before heading to the doggie hotel........

After Saturday I'll be offline for awhile.  

Here's a musical send off that might give you a hint of where I'll be..... ;-)
