I sold
the camper shell off my truck and our RV on Craigslist. So long tiny house, but... Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
I made
three loaves of whole wheat bread. I
gave one loaf to a friend which made him pretty darn happy.
I made
a big pot of chili in the slow cooker and put up three containers in the
freezer.
We made
a double batch of applesauce muffins for our weekday breakfasts.
We made
homemade pizza. It was delicious!
On the
way home from work I stopped at Fred Meyer for fresh produce and picked up some
veggie dips and salad dressings from the markdown area.
Friday
night I went to ShopKo to pick up two captains bed frames for the girl's
bedroom. I had been waiting for them to
go on sale and this week they did.
Regularly $249 each they were on sale for $98.88 each. When I checked out at the register they gave
me two $10 coupons good at my next visit.
While I
was at Shopko I also bought a clear glass pumpkin jar I have wanted for a very
long time and a bag of Milky Ways off the clearance shelf to put inside. The jar was on sale $4.88 and the candy was
$1.85. I can use it all fall until
Christmas time.
Saturday
we did some thrift store shopping and went out to lunch, which I'll touch on more
later.
In the
last week I have watched gas prices drop 24¢ a gallon. Yaaay! I stopped to fill up my gas tank
Saturday, first time in a month, and used my rewards points to save an
additional 40¢ a gallon. Extra Yaaaaay!
What
did you do last week to save money?
You had a Super-Duper week! Great Buys at the store- with those prices I would have done plenty of stocking up too. Yum- the applesauce muffins sound good. :)
ReplyDeleteOur last week wasn't so frugal but I did get meat at a great discount from the store. In fact all the meat I have bought lately has either been a Managers Special Clearance (expiration date is either that day or the next day, in which case I freeze it as soon as I get home) or at a really low sale price. For me, gone are the days when I pay full price for a piece of meat. Either it's discounted or I don't get it at all.
Cant wait to read about your thrift store buys! :)
