This week's frugal accomplishments:
1) I cut Warrick's hair... Aldi's had clippers on sale for cheap and so I'm planning on saving LOTS of money on hair cuts over the years :)
2) This week, Warrick had his first ever dental visit (I know... he should've gone long ago) Since we don't have dental insurance, it was expensive. But the receptionist said if I paid in cash, rather than with a debit card, I would get a 5% discount. I know it's not much, but I'll take what I can get :) Both kids are going back in Feb and so I made her give me a very detailed price so I could start budgeting for it now. I'm sure she thought I was silly, but I don't want to be surprised!
4) My friend sold me her food processor for $5!
5) I received some similac formula in the mail, along with $20 worth of similac coupons. I traded them on an online maternity site for 3 packs of wipes, some size 1 diapers, and a cute newborn sleeper.
6) I sold a pair of Warrick's shoes online that didn't fit anymore.
7) I registered for Indy Kids Consignment sale to sell Warrick's old clothes.
8) The weather has been fall-like around here, so we've had a lot of days with doors and windows open!
9) My friend is going out of town this weekend and said that I could have her crop-share!!!! :)
10) Matt and I took the kids to $2 Tuesday at the state fair... admission, rides, and food were $2. And there was a lot of great company as well :)
The girls :)
Tynnley was tuckered out!
eating a fried oreo on dad's shoulders :)
11) I received a text from Redbox for a free 1 night rental, so Matt and I had an at-home movie night after the kids went to bed.
12) On Saturday, I went to the farmer's market with my sister-in-law and I got 2 huge yellow squash for 50 cents a piece and 2 free apples. And she brought me a free frappuccino from Starbucks!
13) Tonight we are going to have "family pizza movie night" We have papa murphy's coupons and we will either borrow a movie from the library or rent one from Redbox. I saw on facebook earlier that there are only 940 weekends between your child's birth and them leaving for college. We want to be a family that is intentional about making the most of those weekends, especially when our kids actually want to hang out with us. I've heard a rumor that when they are teens, they don't wanna do family movie night with mom and dad anymore :)
Hope your week was great!!! What did you save money on this week? I would love to hear!
Awesome frugal week Brooke! A gallon for $10? That is amazing! I think you will really love to food processor...now that I have it, I find myself using it ALL the time, I wonder what I did before!
