The Frugal Homeschooler
|
Today is Wednesday, which is the day I plan my menu for the next week and make out my grocery list. DH and I are currently sharing one car, so right now my errand day is Saturday. I would prefer to go on Fridays since it is less crowded, but I have to work with what I can get. Actually my whole menu for March is already planned. I am blessed to have enough meat in the freezer (all bought on sale) to be able to do the whole month's menu. I have a small chest freezer and the fridge freezer, of course. Since I don't have to buy any meat, I can use that money to buy meat on sale for next month's menu. I have finally figured out this is how I am going to keep my grocery bill down while having a varied menu. Also, if it happens that my household budget does not have much wiggle room to stock up on a bunch of sale items, I can adjust accordingly. Some sale items I plan on buying this Saturday: IGA --
Jay-C (local Kroger chain) --
I am pretty excited about Saturday's trip. There are a lot of nice buys this week. Sheesh, I can't believe I just said this. Not long ago, these "sale" prices were "regular" prices. Now, they are bargains! It's time for bed, so I will probably post next week's menu tomorrow. School was pretty laid back today. I have been fighting sinus headaches most of the week. I had DS do his spelling assignment on the computer. We have a subscription to http://www.spellingtime.com It's kind of pricy. Last year it was new and it was free. They just raised the monthly price to 6 dollars a month! But my DS is a reluctant speller so I am keeping it, for now. I love the program; I just wish it didn't cost so much. Time to post my frugal finds for the day. Can't wait til I get some of this stuff in the mail. :) Today's Frugal Adventures: Received in the mail: One $2 off coupon for Febreze odor eliminator Signed up for: Pledge wipes sample A free 1 year subscription for Family Fun magazine Free Schick Quattro razor Jergens Energy Glow lotion sample pain reliever cream sample Surveys: Finished one survey. 90 more points and I qualify for a $5 gift card reward. I will probably get one for Starbucks, since I already have one at home waiting to get used. :) The surveys will never pay the bills, but they are nice for a little extra spending money or a restaurant splurge now and then. :) |
