Fifth & Final Frugal Friday of January 2025
Welcome to Frugal Friday!
My Frugal Week
We have a brand new Food City about five miles from our house now and I went on Saturday morning to get some of the Luck’s beans they had on sale for 50 cents each. I love their chili beans and haven’t duplicated them with their delicious sauce at home, so I like to keep them in my pantry. The new store is beautiful and I’m so happy it’s so close to the house now.
It was so nice to get out of the house and drive again. My new knee is working very well and it’s so much easier to walk around in the driveway and get in and out of my car. I’m so excited to think about all of the possibilities in store for me after having limited mobility for so long.
Wednesday was such a busy day that started with physical therapy and then I spent the rest of the afternoon on the phone with my brother, sister, and the realtor. It’s not that my brother didn’t want to sell the land, but he wanted more than his fair share of the money. But we had a long talk this week and worked it all out.
Health News & Exercise
This week I rode my bicycle pedals for one hour each day.
Physical Therapy came three days this week while Occupational Therapy came for one final time.
Physical Therapy has noted my blood pressure has been low multiple times when they've come to see me this month. So, I sent a message through MyChart to my primary care physician to let her know. She adjusted my medication accordingly. All through my weight loss my blood pressure medication has been reduced multiple times, which I love. I would love to get off of it entirely.
Freebies
This was a good week for freebies.
This was the best freebie this week. Three pairs of 2.5+ reading glasses from Zeno Optical. They are the highest quality too.
Four bottles of hot sauces. I’ll be giving these to someone who enjoys hot sauce.
And a free haircut from Supercuts. I’m on an email group of theirs from a few years ago and every now and then they send an email offering free haircuts. So, I went on Thursday and had mine trimmed, it looks so much better. I have let my hair grow out some since my last hair cut.
Saving Money YouTube Videos
Ali Lives Well on Less, her YouTube channel, and Ali’s blog are both very good resources.
That was my week I a nutshell. It was very busy and a lot of talking on the phone. How was your week? I hope it was a great one!

I finally went and had my hair cut-I didn't want to sit in a chair with my back problem. They had to cut off 4 inches (it had been a year).
ReplyDeleteDo you mind me asking what kind of pedals you have for exercising. You are doing so well. Have a great weekend.
Here is a picture of the pedals I use from Amazon:

Oh, I so understand about sitting in the salon chair with back problems. Doesn't it feel good to get your hair cut though? I feel so much better.
I hope you have a great weekend too, Vickie. :)
Yay for a new Food City! I only shop there for the sales, and I bought some cans of beans too. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you are able to drive again, and it's great that you are able to get around better. Hope you get stronger each day.
Glad that you and your siblings were able to come to an agreement about your Dad's land. It is hard when everyone doesn't want the same thing.
Great freebies this week!
Hope you have a fun weekend.
