It was a pretty quiet week, because I was traveling for work Sunday-Thursday. The only "frugality" is that work is paying for my expenses while I was there. I'd definitely prefer to be home!
Saving on things we buy
- Uploaded a grocery receipt to Fetch & took advantage of a whopping $.05 iBotta offer.
Earning money
- Received a small annual raise, which is back dated to April & found out about my annual bonus.
Avoiding spending
- Ate lunch on Sunday at the lounge. It was nothing to write home about, but I ate the filling out of the two tiny tacos & then a small side salad with a dash of chips on top. Luckily, I had a bunch of fruit in the morning.
Eating what we have
- Not me, but M has been packing lunches for Nick & they ate a staggering amount of leftovers while I was gone.
- Got home yesterday & baked up two frozen pizzas for dinner + leftovers for Nick's lunch
For others
- Sent a bunch of thank you notes to awesome folks I work with, including their managers. Just in time for the annual review season.
Glad you are back home! I packed my lunches every day as I traveled around the circuit in the sweltering heat. Thank goodness for air conditioning in the car! I had stopped at Walmart on Sunday on my way back home from the beach conference and bought $28 worth of food, watermelon, coleslaw mix, bread, 2 cartons of eggs, tomatoes, potatoes, onion, and a Walmart deli sandwich because I was hungry, etc. I then went to the farmer’s market yesterday and bought lots of squash, okra, and homegrown tomatoes because mine didn’t make it, and the Farmer’s market cost $10. Today I bought a loaf of bread for $2.00. So $40 in groceries for week but several things can get used next week. I will have to buy another watermelon though bc I ate this one… lol.

ReplyDeleteI bought a watermelon this week too but haven't cut it up yet. I hope it's better than the meh one from two weeks ago.
DeleteI got the good cheese curds, four pounds, while at my daughters. These are great for charcuterie, snacking, meals so thats my big win Friday. Oh, and though I would have lived it, I didn't buy the chicken salad croissant from the deli case, though at $5.99, its a good price for a huge sandwich. It's great your family managed the leftovers well. I hate food waste.
ReplyDeleteI love eating up the leftovers, saves money and from wasting food.

Welcome home. I am trying to see what I can use up before we leave in a little over a month or so. I need to get things cleared out as much as is possible.
