It's been a while since I did a strictly frugal doings post. Prices seem to be going up on almost everything, summer is here and that means big air conditioning bills, and we've had a few unexpected expenses so I've got penny pinching on my mind.
Here are some things I did this week that help cut costs a little.
I cut out and sorted the Sunday paper coupons. Then I looked through this weeks grocery sale ads to check for good deals, then made a list of these sales and put it in my purse with the coupons.
I don't print off lots of coupons but I did see one for $1.50 off Snasauges -Theo's new favorite snack - and printed off 2 of them.
I happily accepted cucumbers and big tomatoes from Gavin's other grandpa's garden. |
All vegetable peels were saved and put in the backyard composter.
We had some bills that needed paid this week - I use the free online bill pay that our credit union offers.
I love it! it is so much easier and quicker than writing out paper checks and mailing them.
frugal back yard fun! Jeff found this pool last year on clearance for $5 at Aldi. Gavin and Elizabeth have lots of fun in it. |
These are all typical activities for me.
I would love to hear what you are doing to stretch your finances.
