Today I stuck to my very short list and got the shopping done for a hundred less than a usual week. It was cold and windy so that was a big motivator.

Brienzi you need to go grocery shopping!



I used my smartpay card at Cumberland Farms for gas and got 10 cents off per gallon.
Yeah, I don't shop VS either unless I have a free gift card. I got a lot for my $19, but if I had to pay for it, it would have been $119! That's with every single item being on sale. And that's NOT a lot of clothing for $119, on my budget.

I bought an $18.00 bottle of scotch instead of my usual $28.00 per bottle. If it tastes good, I saved $10.00. If not, I will still drink it.

Good luck, scotch is tricky. Truly an acquired taste.

I wasn't frugal but I had a nice lunch with an old friend so it was worth it.

That is way more important than being frugal. Good deal

Saved twenty bucks at the chiropractor with my Aetna Vital Savings discount card.

That is not "frugal" and it could be considered theft since you are not an actual customer.

I had thought about going out for supper but decided to fix either Oatmeal and toast, Cream of Rice and toast or Beef and Noodles with butter bread and vegetables.

Turned the heat downstairs to 60 because I won't be using the room until Monday. We are expecting up to ten inches of snow and frigid cold temps this evening. It barely got up to 16 F today. In anticipation of the storm I got an early start on grocery shopping, stuck to my list and got home early.
