Five Frugal Things -- $1 Meals & Free Haircuts

1) I mowed through my "Lucky Day" copy of Mad Mabel in under 24 hours. Skillfully paced, unique protagonist and plot; plus fully fleshed out side characters. A++

I finished The Measure, although it wasn't my favorite. I appreciate the themes, but I feel like the author was knocking me over the head with them.

The multiple characters and short chapters made it hard to bond with any one of them. This got better when I'd read for longer chunks of time, but the book was an assignment rather than an indulgence.

2) I'm starting my Treat Yo' Self week tomorrow and received a timely email offering free haircuts at the Supercuts training center. You know I responded within minutes to secure my spot!

"Face frame is with long layers," here I come! Treating myself the non-consumer way.

3) I don't get drive-through all that often, but $1 meals earn my attention. Not sure if I'll take advantage of any $1 Taco Bell celebrity "Usual" meals, but I'll still tuck this information into my back pocket. You know . . . just in case.

Taco Bell is actually the closest fast food restaurant to my house.

4) I'll drive my husband to the Portland airport this afternoon, so I'll be stopping into Ikea for a $1.40 veggie dog and some free coffee! I even remembered to slip my thrifted "Subaru Ambassador" travel mug into my purse.

I'm so fancy!

5) I didn't lie about my professional licensure and lose my job. Katy > Katie.

I know a thing or two after decades of protecting my professional license.

Now your turn, what frugal things have you been up to?
