Submitted my income tax return using the free version of Turbo Tax.
Received a free RX prescription in the mail, which is good for three months.
The sad news that our local IGA is closing came this week. This will officially make the town where I sub a food desert as it will have no grocery store. Thankfully we have other options in other towns.
If you have a Hardee's in your town be sure to stop in on Monday March 9th as they are giving away free sausage biscuits.
Speaking of breakfast, I made my daughter her favorite banana chocolate chip pancakes over the weekend.
Gas is currently $1.83 per gallon here.
That's all the news to report from here. How was your week and what have you done to save money this week?

FREE is the bestest price!!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to visit with your brother - 8 years is a long time.
Gas is very cheap here as well.
Have a nice weekend
Free is definitely the best price, Cheryl. LOL
DeleteAnd thank you, eight years is a long time. He is much grayer than he was the last time I saw him. LOL
Oh to live in a state without outrageously high gas taxes.....lol
ReplyDeleteGood deal on the free food!!
Thank you, Sluggy!
DeleteGreat deals Belinda! Our gas is going down thank goodness (your price is better). I wish we had a Hardee's close by- I miss them!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Thank you, Vickie. I really like the Hardee's biscuits. They make the best ones around.
DeleteWhat a great prize! After a family wedding next weekend and the extra driving and daughter home I' really setting my sights on my house-which keeps me away from spending money I don't want to spend. Our gas is not so low, but I try to make sure an use a coupon-5 cents a gallon minimally adds up when I fill my tank 4-5 times a month.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sam. It was a Twitter contest. Those gas coupons really help to bring the price down. Safe travels for you on the wedding.
DeleteWe also have that issue with Costco or Sam's Club. We love Kroger and wish it was closer than it is. Because it is far away we only go once every other month or so. I wish you have more selection to choose from too.
ReplyDeleteGotta say I love free. You are so lucky to have gas so cheap. What a blessing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kim. The cheaper gas is definitely a blessing.
DeleteGas is not quite that low here but it is still not horrid. You had a great deal with the gift card for groceries. I am overstocked with groceries and even having my son and daughter in law here for a few days, I should still be able to make it without going to the store for much more than milk.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love being so stocked up that I don't have to go to the grocery store for much more than milk. That's great. I hope you and your son and daughter in law have a terrific visit.
DeleteGreat prices on gas in your area. And yes, Hardee's surely does have the best biscuits.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa. Yes, on Hardee's biscuits. :)
DeleteWhen I heard about tornadoes in Tennessee, I wondered if your area was safe. I’m glad your area wasn’t affected.
ReplyDeleteI’m surprised to hear that your town won’t have a grocery store. What if someone doesn’t have transportation to the next town? That must be very difficult.
Thank you for wondering about us during the tornadoes, Nil. There were such devastating losses for that area. It is just heartbreaking.
DeleteYes, people are concerned about not having transportation to those towns, especially many of the elderly. They do have a SETHRA bus that they can ride to for small trips, which costs $2 to $3 per trip. It's not the best solution as they are smaller vans rather than buses, but at least it is something.
I have an incredible amount of shopping options very near me, which means I cherry pick all of them in geographical order from the farthest to the nearest. It takes a little longer but it is kind of fun. Even with insulated bags it doesn't really work in the summer though
ReplyDeleteThat is terrific to have so many shopping options near you, Anne. I would be cherry picking from all of them too. I love grocery shopping, so I would consider it fun as well. :)
