Five Tiny Frugal Things -- Dining Room Decor Tips!
1. I happened to be at my computer when an email came in asking for Supercuts Training Center hair models, which meant I was able to successfully book an appointment for free haircut. These opportunities are competitive, so it's better to reply as quickly as possible.
I don't spend money on girly stuff, for example I don't wear makeup. This saves me a ton of money, but it's nice to be pseudo pampered every once in awhile.
2. I spent an hour or so rearranging and organizing our downstairs spare bedroom, which now looks, but more importantly functions much better. Unrelated, but our dining room table currently looks like this:
I'll work on it today and likely tomorrow and life will be back in order.
3. I got a text that our local schmancy grocery store is running a deal for 50%-off bulk food, so I loaded the e-coupon into my account. I rarely shop there as their prices are comical, but I figure that their "half-off" brings them down to standard, maybe normal sale pricing. My friend Lise and I are going to scope it out later this afternoon, where I'll most likely likely pick up some bulk coffee beans.
4. I treated my daughter to lunch at an amazing pho restaurant in the neighborhood. The portions were large enough to provide leftovers for our entire dinners, which I even shared with my husband!
5. I asked in my Buy Nothing group for a cat tree for my daughter's new kitten. No offer yet, but someone did message to let me know that standard Facebook Marketplace often has free cat trees available. This'll be my next step.
Now your turn, what frugal things have you been up to?
We took a trip to Nashville that cost us $1200 for everything. (Flight, food, accommodation, car rental) So now our FULL FRUGAL MODE is back on!
1. I am watching Greenland using a HBO max that is included in our Xfinity. Greenland 2 in now in theaters and I plan to go today for our theaters $6 all day special. (No snack will be purchased and I will bring my own water)
2. All meals were prepared and eaten at home. I packed breakfast, lunch, and set my coffee pot for going into the office tomorrow.
3. I measured 5 tablespoons and marked a line lower down on the cup that comes with our detergent. So now my family can see we only need to fill it half way with soap for a full load in our washer.
4. When I’m bored and want to scroll my phone, I am playing a bingo game through fetch that earns me points.
5. As of today, I have completed 26% of my weight loss goal.
