Welcome to Frugal Friday!
My Frugal Week
Things I did this week to save money:
- Did not use the dryer and hung my clothes up to dry instead. - Thawed a container of soup from the freezer for lunch two days.- No heat or air conditioner needed this week. - Washed stored blankets & added to my bed for warmth on these cooler nights. - Ate leftovers. - I sold one item on eBay for $75, which was a wooden cutting bowl. Bailey sold an item for $200 this week!
Other things I did include pulling up the old carpeting in the hallway by our back door as it was time. We recently found a brand new box of floor tiles second hand, which we will put there instead.
On Tuesday I went to town to take advantage of some free groceries one of the colleges was giving away. Afterwards I went to Kroger to get in on the last day of their sales. I picked up the 32 ounce blocks of cheese for $4.99, grapes for 99 cents a pound, pasta for 99 cents a pound, and eggs for $1.99 for the 18 count.
In Kroger's Crash & Burn section I found granola bars marked down to $1.05 for a box of six bars, which makes them 18 cents each, which is a good price. I also found this half gallon of milk for $1.21.
I browsed through the meat aisle to check on any markdowns and did find a pork loin chop for $1.56. I looked at the beef, but declined all of it due to the price.
I perused the grocery store sale ads on Wednesday and wrote down a few good deals, but as usual, am surprised at how expensive some things are now.

Saving Money on Entertainment
This week I've been watching The Conners on Tubi for free. The storyline where Roseanne & Jackie's Mom Beverly starts to get dementia is a well written storyline. At times we see her being her usual self, and then we see her telling Jackie to tell Roseanne to come see her and Jackie realizes her Mom doesn't remember that Roseanne died. It's a really good storyline.
What I've been Reading This Week
Bailey picked up The Blue Zones American Kitchen for me at the library when she went to book club on Saturday.
