Frugal Happenings Volume 1
I am enjoying The Prudent Homemaker's blog and website. She is REALLY frugal which I find inspiring. I really like reading about the super frugal! She does a weekly roundup called frugal accomplishments which highlights what she did to save that week. I think that is a great idea and I am going to steal it! ;)
This week I...
*Downloaded five free songs from my favorite band. Normally I wouldn't bother since I have all of their albums, but I'm glad I did. One of the songs was a beautiful acoustic version of an older song and I'm glad to have it. I'm listening to it now!
*Received a coupon for a free Coke from playing a Subway game a few weeks ago. I also used codes from Money Saving Mom to send off for another free Coke coupon. I rarely drink soda but do enjoy a Coke a few times per year.
*Filled out a rebate form for $10 on Crest White Strips which I would've bought anyway as they were a great price.
*Received $20 in rebates from meat that I had purchased in December.
*Last Saturday I went to a musical with my lovely mom. This was really fun and I got the tickets for free from my alma mater.
*Printed out a coupon for $34 in Staples Rewards. I had turned in empty ink cartridges given to me by my grandparents and also purchased (much needed) ink for my printer during a triple rewards promotion.
*Received my seed order from Baker Creek Seeds. These seeds are not genetically modified, which I appreciate. I had a very inexpensive order as I'm only planting lettuce, spinach, and tomatoes this year. They also included a free packet of lettuce seeds.
*Worked on a crocheted cowl scarf for a Christmas present.
*Purchased some deeply clearanced pretties from Ann Taylor for co-worker Christmas presents (yes, already!!).
*Signed up for an Ethics conference that will give me 6 free continuing education credits. Not the most exciting thing in the world, but free CEUs are great and necessary to keep my psychology license.
