First Frugal Friday of July 2024

                                         

Welcome to Frugal Friday! 
My Frugal Week

My Lymphedema trunk pump came last Friday and I watched several videos on how to set it up and it has a lot of hoses! It is already helping to eliminate the excess lymph fluid in my trunk area. The representative came out on Wednesday to check and make sure I was using it correctly. 
It was quiet around here over the weekend then on Sunday we heard a lot of thunder, but never did get any rain out of the storm. We finally did get a little bit of rain later in the week though. 
This was bill paying week and I've gotten all my bills paid for the month. I like to have it behind me as early in the month as possible. 
Freebies
One of my favorite daily emails comes from the One Bird a Day website. In it they show a photo of the bird and then you can hear how the bird sounds, which I love.

Question of the Week
I saw this post today in my local Facebook group:

I feel his pain. Gone are the days, I think, when we could really stock up on groceries when there was a good sale. ???
What do you think?
Saving Money on Entertainment
I've been watching Leave it to Beaver on Facebook recently. My Dad always watched it in the mornings and it reminds me of him. I like that I'm able to watch shows like this for free on Facebook. 
What I've been Reading This Week
Our Money Blog ~ Carrie used to blog over at CreditCardFree's Personal Finance Blog. In fact if you look around that site, you'll find several other financial blogs to read. 
Bailey and I are currently reading Daisy Jones and the Six. It is supposed to be based on a true story and loosely based on Fleetwood Mac. When we are done reading the book we are going to watch the film. There are ten episodes, which are free to watch if you have Amazon Prime. 

Thank you for dropping by my frugal blog, you are always welcome here. 
We would love to hear all about your week in the comment section.
