Frugal Friday ~ August 10, 2018

It's Friday once again and time for another frugal blog post. 
We stayed home several days this week and worked on cleaning, sewing, and reselling. 
Monday was the day the washer was fixed, so we ended up washing four loads and folding and putting those away. 

Recent Packages Waiting on the Mailman

We continue to make sales online and oftentimes we use second hand packaging materials. We always reuse the ones we get in the mail. 

I'm still decluttering around here. Some of the silliest things were kept for some unknown reason. 
Today I put into the donation pile two pieces of glass that looked like tiny candle holders. I suspect my daughter kept them when she was little. She never wanted to get rid of anything back then, but today is another story. Thank goodness.  :)

Do you ever leave your grocery list at home? When I've done that it's usually because I ended up in town for some other reason and wanting to save on fuel, I go to the grocery store, but without my list since I hadn't planned to go there.
I've been using Google Docs for a while now, but never thought to keep my grocery list on there. I can access Google Docs from my phone. Since I always have my phone with me for sub jobs, I will now always have my grocery list with me.  

Could it be a possibility that price books may become obsolete with the new grocery store pick up websites? These stores have their products listed, the different sizes and the prices as well. 
This week I compared groceries at two websites, Walmart and Food City. 
Comparing prices has never been easier than it is now. We could be shopping in a store and wonder if a price on one item is a better value somewhere else and a quick view on your smartphone will answer that question. 
I've been having fun this week comparing prices between Walmart and Food City. As always, no one store has the best price on everything. 
If you're interested, this link to Walmart will give you $10 off of your first pick up order. 

My daughter did her usual Thursday thrift store shopping and stopped in at Ingle's to find these meat markdowns:

Ground beef, actually marked down twice. Final price was $5.99 each for over three pounds in each package works out to $1.83 per pound.

Sweet Italian Sausage for $1.99 each, which is a great price. 

And lastly, two cheddar style burgers for $1.99.

That is all the news to report this week. I hope you have had a wonderful, frugal week. I would love to hear all about it in the comments section.
