Frugal Friday

Posted in budgeting, budgets, California, frugalism by

I didn’t do any shopping this week except for a few things from the Holiday Market. So, that was really a good week. I don’t even think I need too much for next week since we’ll be down in Palo Alto.

I’ll try and have some meal ideas for my daughter since I won’t be cooking dinners. Probably just some easy meals she can just heat up.

I’ve done a good job using things up in the freezer. That probably helped with not going to the store. If anything, I need some salad stuff.

Tonight is pizza night and I’m not sure what we’ll do. I’m planning to go down to Roseville as I have an order to pick up at the mall. But my favorite pizza place doesn’t open till 11 and I plan on being home shortly after that. so??? I guess I’ll figure it out.

I need to stop at the bank and get my UHC printout so I can submit it to LLS. The bank is always so busy. After that, it’s just home for the day.

I’ve avoided buying anything from Amazon so I’m pleased with that. I have one book I ordered a while ago(and forgot about) and it’s finally being shipped. It’s a cookbook a YouTuber used and looked like a good one but it was only available from a third-party seller.

I do need to stop and get gas at Costco but I don’t plan on shopping there. I have a list going but it can wait till we’re back from Stanford. It’s mostly staples like oatmeal, and Rao’s sauce and things like that.

All in all, it was a frugal week!

We didn’t spend too much this week.

I got gas at Costco and think it’s the cheapest I’ve seen in a long time. I think it was $3.83.

I stopped at Paris bakery because I had a cake slice offered at $3.00. Usually, their cake slices are $6.95, so a good deal. I also bought an iced americano.

We took some money out of our very limited savings and paid some of the CC bill. I hope I can wipe it out next month. I felt it was important to do.

B went to the store once for some wine and milk and a few other odds and ends. I didn’t go to Costco this week so I’ll probably go next week. Next week I have 2 appointments, the dentist and my doctor. I’ll try and swim one day next week but that’s probably all I’ll get to.

We might order a pizza for tonight since I don’t feel like cooking.

I did order a new Speedo suit because after my swim last time, I looked at my suit and it was somewhat embarrassing. I could see thru some areas so I figured I better get a new one. It was on sale though so that’s good.

Overall, a fairly frugal week although since we don’t have much money it’s more like business as usual:)
