First Frugal Friday of September 2026
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
Last Friday and Saturday we dropped off loads to the consignment sale in Chattanooga. We decluttered the whole house and were able to really clean out and get rid of things just in case we do end up moving at some point.
Last week I received two separate rewards from my insurance company. One was a $10 Walmart card and the other was a $25 Walmart card. I like this program because it rewards me for keeping up with my doctor appointments and therefore my health regularly, which is important to me in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
We did not yard sale last weekend as we were dropping off at the consignment sale. It's really hot here, so they are closing schools at noon, so students don't have to be on the non air-conditioned buses in the heat of the day. So, we may not yard sale this week either.
How was your week? Have you been to any good yard sales lately?
Thank you for dropping by my frugal blog, you are always welcome here.
We would love to hear all about your week in the comment section.

Dear Belinda, I am so glad you received those rewards! Yes, our health is paramount! And I am happy that you are taking such good care of your health, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteI was unable to comment since Thursday night, and I made a post about this on my blog. It seems that it affected a huge amount of people this time! Thankfully the issues have been fixed.
And so funny, just before all this happened, my post was Humour, Laughter is Good Medicine! LOL!
I hope you have a lovely weekend! Thank you so much for all you share.
Thank you, Linda. I'm so glad Blogger is finally working again.
DeleteGood for you on decluttering so much - no need to go buy more when working so hard.

It's seems like the garage sales here are not as good in the Fall as in the Spring or maybe we really don't need anything by this time. I love the incentives to keep up with the doctor visits. Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteMy weeks so far have been trying to catch up on garden produce, and household tasks. Remind me to never go away mid summer again please.
ReplyDeleteYou had a lovely week.
God bless.
