Frugal Friday

 It's been a busy week, as we've had guests (my parents, then my uncle, and finally just my mom, after my dad & uncle left). Here are a few wins we cobbled together. 

Savings on things we buy

  • Submitted receipts to Fetch & iBotta, and saved $1.60 on a grocery store purchase

Earning money

  • Filled out a health care survey for a $10 Door Dash gift card. (I will combine with my credit card Door Dash offers.) 
  • Sold a watch on eBay

Avoiding spending

  • Considered taking my mom out to lunch one day, but we'd already had quite a few meals out over the past few weeks, so I picked up sandwich fixings, and we sat outside in the sun & enjoyed our lunch together. 

Eating what we have

  • Had leftover fajitas for dinner one night
  • Planned meals for our visitors (chicken & rice, burgers, etc) to keep costs under control
  • My mom & I had salads with chicken for lunch one day, and leftover soup another day

For others

  • Had a call with the one of the students I'm mentoring. 
What about you? Any wins to share?

  1. Biggest win was using an old gift card earned through MS Rewards to get a baby shower gift, and then had circle points credit plus a 25% discount on a baby item for another baby gift.
