Frugal Friday

I’ll save on gas today since I opted not go to the pool. I just woke up grumpy and don’t feel like driving. Next week is busier with a dentist appt and then Velcade on Thursday so I’ll be out quite a few days including a gym or swim day.

I spent $75 at Winco on salad stuff and a few misc like cottage cheese. I wanted some bulk items too.

We went out for a coffee yesterday, so that was $16. B paid for that with his money.

I sorted out my cash envelopes for the month. I added $200 to the firewood envelope because we are going to need to buy a cord. I’ll have to check out from B how much we have left. We would need to have that sorted before a hospital visit.

Other than that, I don’t think I spent anything else. I did order the humidifier, which I like, but it didn’t really have any effect on the sleep apnea. Oh well, I think a humidifier in winter is probably a good thing, and it wasn’t expensive.

Yesterday, I put the Ranco Gordo Ayocote beans in the crock pot. I hadn’t made them before, and they were delicious. They are white beans but bigger than Marcella beans. There’s lots left over too.

  1. You really need a sleep study to determine how severe sleep apnea is. Sleeping on your back will generally make it worse. Cpap is the best option for treatment other than weight loss. I have mild sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation. There is a link between the two. I have lost 15 lb so far and need to lose another 10-15. It’s a struggle. I really don’t want to have to use Cpap if I can avoid it. Also, my fitbit measures my night O2 sat and that is helpful. Hope that helps. Take care

    • i have the appt in April. I wouldn’t do the Cpap machine anyway. i never sleep on my back only my side. Do you have side effects from the sleep apnea?. I never noticed anything until Dr. L said maybe I did. I should lose weight too.

      • When I developed afib I had a sleep study because there is a connection between the two. I don’t have any other issues from it. I had an ablation for afib 2 years ago and no afib since.
