Free-Bees: November 2022

 


So far this year we were able to pick up 228 free items.   With inflation rising, the deals are minimal and hard to come.   We are grateful for everything we are able to pick up, mainly because we are only going to the store when we need a list of items.      


As always, I am able to secure these items through Kroger incentives, Drug Store (Walgreens/CVS)  Rewards programs, sales, Pinch Me, Smart Source, Meijer’s Buy 10 get the 11th free sale, and Rebates Programs (IBOTTA/SavingStar).   


January (13 items) 

February (5 items) 

March (5 items)

April (29 items) 

May (11 Items) 

June (13 Items) 

July (34 Items) 

August (44 Items) 

September (18 Items)

October 2022 (26 Items)

My favorite deals this month were the Thanksgiving Deals from IBOTTA.    These are items I would have purchased anyway and I was able to get most of our Thanksgiving meal for FREE.   


I almost didn’t reach my goal of 20 items, but in the last few days of November, I was amazed at the deals I found.   With inflation on the rise and companies feeling the pinch, I will be grateful if I can get 20 items for free in December.    


What is your favorite deal this month?

The Frugal Five: #88

  The Frugal Five: #88 With inflation on the rise and salaries not increasing, our ability to make ends meet keeps going down.    Therefore, we must be more careful with our money.   The Frugal Five is a series where we celebrate the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     This week I am exploring how to keep costs down during busy weeks.    Keeping dinner on the table instead of eating out is one of my strategies to get the job done.    Here are some of my tips and trips.    1- Free-Bee Pick Up  Over the last month, we have been blessed with several Free-Bees.  First, a friend gave us a dozen eggs from his chickens.  In addition, we picked up several photos with discount codes from Walgreens and CVS.   Next, we used our local grocery store coupons for several free food items such as seltzer water, ice cream, etc.   Then, we picked up toothpaste and eyeliners from ...
