But anytime I'm gone over the weekend, it interferes with my planning & efficiency for the weekend. I got back late on Sunday, so I'm still busy catching up. I've felt behind all week.
Here are a few frugal things for the week:
- We made all dinners at home. This was trickier than usual, as I wasn't home over the weekend to meal prep
- M & the boys picked me up from the airport (vs an Uber) on Sunday evening, saving about $25
- I finally sold our old train table for $40 on a Facebook group. It has been posted for weeks, so it's great to see it go.
- I have to take one last business trip, but was able to find a business class flight on an airline that matches miles for our preferred domestic airline. So, at least there will be a small win in that.
- Kept expenses for my relay really low on the food side. My mom insisted on paying for almost everything, as a thank you for our gifting them our old car. I also brought home a few leftover snacks for the boys
- I paid our car registration via a rewards credit card vs sending in a check. Saved the cost of a stamp + we will accrue miles on our card.
That's it on our side. Any frugal wins for you?
Frugal comes back in September, but you did really well.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's September! I'm not ready :-)
DeleteHow generous to give your folks one of your cars. Which one was it ?? I think you did well with frugalness in spite if being gone:)
ReplyDeleteWe had an old BMW that we gave to my parents. When we bought our electric car, it was intended to replace the BMW, & we debated selling it, etc. In a conversation with my parents in April, they mentioned being on the lookout for a cheap car, so then we just needed to figure out the logistics of how to get the car to them, and finally got that worked out!
