Frugal Friday- February 8, 2019

Making small changes that have big results.

On Friday’s I share 5 frugal ideas to help you maintain The Sweet Life on a Budget.

 These things will have money saving ideas and/or a way to enhance your lifestyle for

very little money.

Started to plan my kitchen garden.  Our public library has a seed collection that people

can “borrow” AKA getting seeds for free starting in February.  I have organized the

green house location for growing my seeds in February. Hmm. I think I’m getting

Spring Fever.  

Leftover Seeds from Last Year

Experiment- Save Seeds from last year

Stockpiling Items-  This week our Kroger store had a $3.00 off of 6 items and some

items were quite a bargain.  So I took advantage of my MUST larger food budget this

week and cashed in. Pasta was at my stock up price and I picked up 6 of them for

$3.00.  Cheese was on sale for $3.00 for a pound, but wait--- I also had a coupon for

$1.00 off. That lowered the price to $2.00 for a pound. This will last us at least 2

weeks.  

Compared prices for vitamins and discovered a much better deal than usual.  I was able

to get my husband’s vitamins on sale (BOGO) with the price being $2.00 less than our

usual brand and the number of days each bottle provides is much higher.  This was a

great find.

Weekend Entertainment-  I stopped by the library during my errand run to pick up a

few movies for the family to watch and a book or 2 to read.  Unfortunately, they are

resurfacing their floors, so the movies were not available. It is a good thing that we are

flexible and have a few things in our back pocket.  We already purchased a Trampoline

Park Card over a year ago at a discount, so we went with a friend and had no out of

pocket money needed. In addition, we were able to use our Amazon Prime and Roku

to stream movies to watch.  

We returned items that we didn’t use when redo our bathroom.
