Thrifty Thursday - August 25, 2022

I'm continuing my Thrifty Thursday accountability series on what I have done to save money this week or ways I have made extra money this week.

Saving on Things I have Bought

  • Needed some pet supplies, so I noticed Chewy.com had a free $30 gift card offer with $100 purchase on some items. What I needed was included! I also went through Rakuten for 1% cash back and used my AMEX card for another 1% cash back. 
  • Used a $5 off $50 purchase coupon at the grocery store to purchase groceries this week. My AMEX card offers 6% cash back at grocery stores, so I earned some cash back as well. 

Avoiding Spending

  • I have been bringing leftovers from home to work for lunch every day. 
  • We have also been eating out of the freezer to save on going to the grocery store. 

Earning Money

  • Scanned all my receipts into Fetch 
  • I sold 4 items on eBay in August this month; I'm cleaning out my closet and earning a little money at the same time. 

Eating What we Have On Hand

  • I am out of ground beef in the freezer, but I have a brisket and some stew meat that we have not used. I am using my KitchenAid meat grinder to grind that into hamburger. 
  • I have a partial bag of frozen cranberries in the freezer that will be used to make Keto Cranberry Bars for dessert this week. 
How have you saved money this week?

Friday Favorites - June 27, 2025

  It's been a good 2 years since I've updated this blog! I enjoy reading everyone's Friday Favorites, but kinda lost my blogging mojo. It's time to jump back in. #1 Friends This week we had a fast trip up to Cordova, TN, to a mounted shooting competition. I'd reached out to Jenn earlier this week for recommendations for restaurants in the area and she invited me to coffee! What a fun visit! I absolutely loved visiting with her and she is the same in person as she is on her blog. She's so genuine and fun!  The shoot had 81 entries; we hung out with some old friends and met some new friends. My husband is in this photo with a fellow competitor he's known for over 20 years. Mounted shooting is such a small sport and we travel all over the country as competitions are far and few between. I would say we probably know or met someone from every single state and a few countries along the way.  Last night, our friends came over with their kids. We had fajitas, rice a...

Friday Favorites - July 25

Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I have some shopping plans and we're hosting some of my husband's college friends for the weekend. We have some yummy drinks and foods planned for the weekend.  #1 Birthdays & Spa Days We celebrated my friend's 40th birthday! We had a party for her to celebrate on Sunday then Monday we went to the Lake Austin Spa. Voted by Conde Nast as the #1 spa destination in the US. It didn't disappoint! We had massages and facials and spent time lounging by the pool.  #2 Desserts Some of y'all know I have a more professional blog. I added a new recipe over there for The Best Vanilla Whoopie Pies with Buttercream Filling ! So yummy! We've been eating on these throughout the week, but they are HUGE so we generally split one.  #3 A New Minimalist Purse I've been having such should pain and finally gave in that it was in fact my heavy, very large purse I'd been carrying. I ordered this cross body with...

Friday Favorites - July 11

  Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I don't have a lot on the schedule, but I have some plans on my to do list. Looking forward to some walks outside in the sunshine, tackling a few projects and relaxing.  #1 Baking My friend Stephanie and I baked kolaches. She's a pro at it and helped me; we split these up for the July 4th weekend. Red (raspberry), White (cream cheese) and Blue (poppy seed). They were all so good and disappeared quickly this week. These were so easy! Just Rhodes dinner roll dough and Solo pastry filling. We did make the topping and cream cheese filling from scratch .  #2 Health Getting back on the health and wellness track. I had a skin check at the dermatologist which I haven't done in 10+ years. I went to a new clinic and it was a little bit of a drive (about 90 miles), but I really liked the staff. All good news! Yay!  I also did my Caroline Girvan Iron program workouts twice this week, cold plunged twice and used the s...
