First Frugal Friday of February 2026
Welcome to Frugal Friday
Each Friday here at Frugal Workshop, I love sharing the frugal wins, quiet savings, and simple strategies that helped us stretch our budget over the past seven days. It’s a gentle look back at the small things that make a big difference.
My Frugal Week
It snowed here on Friday evening and a lot of the day on Saturday and it was very cold and twelve degrees on Sunday morning. We stayed home and off the roads as the back roads can be hazardous as they are not treated.
On Tuesday Bailey and I went to Kroger to do our money grocery shopping. We stocked up on essentials we needed and are stocked up for the month.
I earned $50 on PayPal this week from scanning products I purchase into NCP.
Saving Money on Entertainment
On Saturday Bailey and I played board games. One of the games we played was Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Battle game. We played it in December and made some changes to make it better to play.
Bailey took a photo of the game slip, had two of them printed and laminated at Staples, and now we can use dry erase markers on them every time we play the game. It's bigger than the game slip that came with the game, so easier to read and keep track.
How was your week?

Dear Belinda, I love ❤️ board games 🎲
ReplyDeleteI am unfamiliar with the one you have pictured here. I like Monopoly, Scrabble and Win, Lose or Draw.
Even though I have no talent in art or sketches, I still like the game find it enjoyable.
It is very cold 🥶 here in Montreal today.
-18 Celsius I think and tonight may be -25 Celsius.
I am getting laundry, cleaning and organizing done in my apartment.
Thank you so much for, dear friend 🧡
Thank you Linda, we love board games too. Brrrr…it is cold up your way, isn’t it? It’s 43 degrees F here right now with a cold wind. I’m staying in where it’s warm. 😂

Laminating the game sheet is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThe laminated sheet was really neat. I’m glad we did that and Staples is very affordable, less than $3 to print and laminate.
DeleteThat was clever for the scoring. I should do that for Yahtzee.
ReplyDeleteYes! This would be perfect for Yahtzee!
