Five Frugal Things | eBay, snacks, audiobooks, and frozen pizza!

1. I listed a whole bunch of books on eBay.
I decluttered two bookshelves, which left me with a big pile of books to get rid of.
I listed about half of them yesterday, and I'll do the other half today.
I do not love listing things (packing and shipping doesn't bother me, though!) so I am giving myself big pats on the back for this.
(I do sometimes sell books on Amazon too, but only if they are pretty valuable. Amazon's fees eat through any small listing profit awfully fast.)
2. I'm watching an auction for teacher's guides.
I realized that for one of our 2019/2020 subjects, I don't have teacher's guides. Whoops.
They're kind of expensive, so I am watching an eBay auction that ends on Sunday. Hopefully I'll manage to snag this set, which is a really good deal.
3. We ate no fast food on our road trip to Ohio.
I bought snacks and drinks at Aldi before we headed out there.
And before we left Ohio for home, we stopped at the Ohio Aldi for a restock. 😉
This was not necessarily healthier (though I did pack tomatoes, cheese, carrots, and grapes along with the chips and Capri Suns), but it does end up being cheaper.
4. I downloaded an audio book Mr. FG was going to buy anyway.
I knew he was planning to download Cal Newport's Deep Work next, so I decided, what the heck, I'll choose that as a book to listen to on the drive to Ohio.
That way, I had some entertainment while driving, and we have the book in our library for when Mr. FG finishes his current audio book.
(For the trip home, I downloaded another book by Newport, Digital Minimalism, which I actually liked a little bit better. But I'll add more about that when I update my 2019 reads list.)
5. We ate at home after our road trip.
The girls and I got home around 6:45, and Mr. FG got home from work slightly after that. It would have been quite tempting to go get food somewhere since no one had been home to cook.
But instead, Sonia had the idea to pick up a few frozen pizzas and bake those, so we were saved from takeout.
Yay, Sonia!
Very good self-control on not stopping for snacks on the road 🙂
1. Called the insurance company (again!) to fix an incorrect claim and saved almost $500.
2. Combining car trips with errands so no extra driving around.
3. Made homemade popsicles for the kids.
4. My elderly neighbor gifted me some cheese and crackers from her get together as she wouldn't eat these by herself, so bought less cheese from the store this week. I did buy her some flowers instead, which I hope will cheer her up 🙂
5. My husband needed his leather shoes for a work trip. He has an old pair that are pretty scuffed up but in decent shape. He used some shoe polish, good as new!
I feel like our life has been full of frugal fails lately, but I am going to give some frugal things a try.
1. Work provided lunch on Sunday. Happy to not have to pack.
2. Insurance inspector came last night and all of our siding, gutters and shutters will be replaced due to hail damage!! Happy for good insurance coverage.
3. We purchased a camper: not a frugal thing at all, except that it made me think that the money we spent on this will give us WAY MORE family fun than 1 week on a Disney Cruise. The cost of our camper is the cost of three cruises. We plan to camp more than three times with this beauty. Along with the purchase we got free camping for the next year! Now that's frugal!
4. Drinking some leftover Coke in the work fridge from an office party last week. Its not even flat!! Free caffeine!
5. Quietly removed the book order forms from the kids bookbags and hope that they will not notice them missing. we must have over 300 books in our house.
Haha #5 made me laugh! When I was a kid my mom stopped letting me order books because I read them so fast she felt the $ wasn’t a good investment. She just increased the number of times we went to the library to keep up with my need to read. Smart mom. I still love the library.
Congratulations on your camper - that sounds like so much fun
We are enjoying our last full week of summer vacation with some kid of special frugal activity each week:
1). Took my kids to a local farm. Our credit union sends them certificates for ice cream for their birthdays. I used those and they also covered to cost of animal feed. They all had a ball and it cost $0.
2). Found a jumper for my daughter in our school’s uniform donation pile, while I was dropping off things we had outgrown. We are now all set for uniforms until it gets cooler out.
3). Today’s frugal activity is making Rice Kristy doughnuts. I bought a kit a few weeks ago when it was marked down at Aldi and have been saving it.
4). The weather looks cooler (especially at night) so we’ve decided to close our pool next week rather than keep it open in the event that we might use it. Less energy will be used and we won’t be spending more money on chemicals.
5). Joined our local movie theater’s rewards program. It was free to join and we do not have to pay a service fee when buying tickets online.
My boyfriend and I went to a baseball game last night. We stopped at the store before we left and got “adult beverages” and snacks. We drank our beverages before we went into the lark saving us a ton of money. Then we brought the snacks in with us. We only bought hot dogs and a soda to share. Oh and I got our tickets on stub hub for 1/4 of the price.
Congrats on the Aldi snacks versus fast food. It saves time and money.
1. I picked up some GF pizzas on clearance at Safeway. I also saved $10 on a $25 purchase because I bought a Netflix gift card.
2. I'm still cutting up cantaloupes and watermelons for the cheapest price per pound fruit there is.
3. We attended the last outdoor concert of the season. It is free but they collect donations at intermission, so we always donate. It's fun to see so many people, of all ages, out having fun.
4. I went to a friend's house for lunch. She was going to make something but I
told her I'd pack my own GF meal. It's easier for both of us. We ate lunch together and caught up. Old comfortable friendships rock!
5. My husband has an upcoming work trip that is in the city my sister lives in. I'll buy my own plane ticket and tag along. After the conference we'll spend a day with my sister and her family.
Still in midst of kitchen remodel so not feeling especially frugal.
Here goes
1. Decorated my new to me classroom with used scrounged found reused items. I did five bulletin boards etc for FOUR DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET.
2. Pack my lunch daily. And I hate packing lunches.
3. I gave up Diet Coke on Aug 1 and switched to cheaper ice tea. I still miss Diet Coke but my blood pressure has improved.
4. I wore a cute 1.00 day at goodwill dress on the first day of school today.
5. We buy stuff for our kitchen remodel only during 11 percent off weeks at Menards.
Wow, $4 is amazing! Great job.
And a $1 dress is also very impressive.
1. Made a homemade card for my niece’s birthday instead of buying one.
2. Stopped at the discount bread outlet on a Wednesday when everything is $1 and stocked up.
3. Ate lots of green beans, zucchini, and lettuce from our garden.
4. Went to the park several times for free fun entertainment.
5. Started tracking our spending using the everydollar app to keep a better eye on things.
1. I've got 5 jars of relish in my water bath canner right now. With the free peppers I got, the 5 jars cost me less than $3 if I factor in the food and lids.
2. My daughter started kindergarten this week (my first baby starting school!!!) I've packed her lunch everyday. I refrained from buying new clothes just for school as she has what she needs. I got her some fun shoes for everyday wear there (they're required to wear closed-toe shoes for safety) that I got on clearance for $3. She loves them!
3. I watched my friend's kids for a few hours on Saturday and was happy to help her out, but she gave me a cantaloupe and a dozen eggs from the farmer's market that we were happy to accept and eat.
4. My husband is a coach and I was planning to buy and decorate a shirt for my 3yo to wear to the games, but we asked his assistant coach about buying one of the ones they gave new students this year and she offered it to us for free! She also found a school shirt for me to wear. I had to wear my body shaper to fit into it well, but that's better than spending $20 on a new shirt.
5. Making meals with what we have. Payday is Friday or Saturday and I'm trying really hard to not buy any food until then since we're already so far over budget on food. We really need to adjust our budget to match the fact that we're feeding 5 people instead of 4 and that they're all growing...
Hi, y'all! I've been reading for months but this is my first time joining in--
1. I'm wanting to go back to school, but need to take a few prerequisites before I can apply to the program I want. I'm taking them at the local community college (much less $$ per credit hour than the university) and classes started this week. I forget how much fun it is to be in class, learning about something I'm interested in!
2. Professor said there's not much difference between the last edition and the new edition of one of the textbooks, so I checked AbeBooks and bought a used hardcover copy of the last edition for about $150 less than what the school bookstore was asking for a new looseleaf copy of the new edition.
3. Had my car in the garage for some repair work that was urgently needed and beyond my skill level. Unfortunately, after paying for tuition and books, it's a strain on my budget. I'm a longtime customer, so I've talked them into letting me do a payment plan, which means I don't have to borrow anything and am saving interest!
4. I'm going to a church-sponsored singles event out of town this weekend and will be carpooling and sharing a hotel room with friends, so it's less than 1/2 the cost it would be otherwise.
5. Local restaurant charges $60 for a large pan of their "famous" banana pudding. I made a double batch of my usual recipe for about $8 and there were lots of compliments and no leftovers!
Woohoo! Glad you joined us. 🙂
Great win on the textbook. Those are often so crazy expensive!
Thank you! My textbook arrived yesterday and I'm so glad to have it. I bought the hardcover because it's barely any more and I plan to keep it as a reference.
And don't forget to make the most of your student ID, guessing you have one now, or can get one at the college. Ask for student discounts at local stores, businesses, and restaurants, and search online for nationwide business offers. If you are an Amazon user, Amazon prime is free for six months for students.
Thank you for the reminder! I'm only taking two classes now, so I hadn't really considered the student discount since I'm only part-time. I'll keep my eye out! I know the local orchestra has special student prices for tickets.
1. I'm still dehydrating and freezing tomatoes from the garden. I have one more picking of green beans and then will pull the plants and plant kale there.
2. I have loved sharing produce with friends and family. Yesterday, a friend I have given tomatoes this year and last gifted me with a pint of peaches, pickled vegetables and applesauce she had canned. Unexpected and such a blessing!
3. I decorated for a women's event at church last night and will decorate for a large wedding reception this weekend. We have kept costs so low to decorate for these events while making them quite lovely by using what we had. Resourcefulness really makes the frugal life possible!
4. I went through and sorted out fall decorations for the house. I've got a several things I no longer need so I"m going to try and follow Kristen's example and list these to sell. I hate the selling process but these will go quicker than if I put them in a spring garage sale.
5. I had a surgery this year that put me over my deductible so I'm trying to cram in any test or procedure I need done before the new year. Yesterday, I had an ob/gyn appointment with a new doctor who mentioned a bone scan that is recommended by age 65 but can be done sooner. Yes, please!!!!
Don’t you always keep a few frozen pizzas in the freezer? If not, any reason?
I’m trying to remember if you ever freeze pre-baked homemade pizzas, but I’m kind of shocked that you had none! Lol. Glad you had a nice trip!
We went to Colorado a couple of weeks ago (from Michigan) and I hit up Aldi before our trip--it sure makes our dollars stretch further! We did a lot of hiking so I stocked up on summer sausage, cheese, crackers, nuts, and dried fruit for while we were on the trail. Convenient AND cost effective! Glad you were able to take advantage of Aldi, as well.
Can you not download books from your library? I rarely buy audiobooks because they're expensive and my library has a good selection. They use the app Libby which you download on your smartphone then put in your library number and voila!
The last time I tried this with my library, the app and process was really super annoying (it wasn't Libby, sadly) I should probably give it another try!
Wow, that frozen pizza looks yummy! What kind is it?? From Aldi, I'll bet. 😉
Yep, that's Aldi's margherita pizza. 🙂
Sounds like you had a great trip! I made refried bean burritos with beans, red peppers in a jar, flour tortillas from dollar tree and mozzarella from aldi. I saw my neighbor do this. 2. Had homemade shortbread cookies elderly neighbor made with hot coffee at breakfast. 3. Planted hostas seed my neighbor had on her plants. 4. Trying to read all my books and wrap up good ones for xmas for brother in law. 5. Hired neighbor to unhoard and clean and organize kitchen only. I will worry about the rest of the house another time. Taking 1 hour of dance before my yoga hour twice a week at community center. We did the twist and some Cuban dance steps. Now looking for rock and roll 45s and Spanish music in thrift store. I have a record player
It has been brutally hot in Texas this month, so I have rarely left home. I opt for grocery delivery from my local supermarket which has no shopper or delivery fee if you order a day ahead. The item prices are a bit higher, but the convenience for elders, disabled or really anyone is worth it. Because I have not left my hilltop, I have spent little money aside from quilt making supplies online. I will be happy, though to see temperatures below 100 now and know that autumn will be coming.
We've had a little reprieve from the 95 degree days with oppressive humidity and I am SO glad. Such a relief.
I have a bunch of books I’ve thought about getting rid of but I’ve never sold anything on eBay. What’s the learning curve like?
You might check out Bookmooch.com. You get paid in points which you can use for other books. It’s super-easy!
Our neighbors have a plum tree that overhangs our yard. There are small, yellow plums. I don't even think they harvest the ones on their side, but I collected the plums that were ripe on our side. I salted them and they are fermenting, then they will be dried, like Japanese umeboshi plums that are very expensive to buy--all I spent was the cost of the salt. As a kid growing up on the island of Okinawa I loved sucking on these sour, salty, sweet delicacies---brings back a bit of my childhood.
A friend with lots of fruit trees invited us over to pick larger plums and blueberries, they are all washed and frozen now, so we can enjoy summer all year.
1. My husband finished our roof this past weekend. Saved us about $5000. Borrowed roofing magnet to clean nails out of yard, which saved us another $100 at least.
2. Found kid's sled in someone's trash, which worked out because my son broke his last winter
3. Dehydrated tons of cherry tomatoes from our garden and made and froze pesto using basil from our garden
3. Purchased barely used Gap winter jacket and Sorrel winter boots off Let Go for $30 for my son
4. I wanted to replace switch plates and outlet covers, in our new house, to stainless steel. Each one is at least $5 though. So, I sanded and spray painted plastic ones with a metallic spray paint. Total cost was under $20 for the whole house and you would never be able to tell the difference.
5. Made and froze zucchini muffins and granola bars (your recipe) to pack for my son's snack at school
Glad you had a great road trip.
1) More apples, pears and plums from the neighbours, made a plum and pear crumble. Then prep’d and froze 2 huge bags of apples.
2) batch cooked my husband favourite chicken and sweet potato curry; which is a good thing to have on hand to avoid takeout. Persuade him to not have take out tonight when he worked late!
3) picked up free books from another neighbour including a guide to mine craft which my son loves.
4) went to the local park, had a picnic at home and played in the paddling pool rather than go on expensive trip for the bank holiday.
5) Found a 10% discount voucher for the new outdoor play house for our kids - not very frugal as we bought it new but my husband really wanted to buy them something for our garden to play in. I choose the cheapest model- it’s not as fancy looking as the pricey options but looks just as fun.
1) I am abroad at a conference with my baby and mom to watch the baby. The plan was for me to pump during the day while mom fed the baby with breast milk from the day before. But then I fried my pump electric plug. I was ready to pay $1000 to airlift a new pump in immediately, but Mama was willing to just bring me baby every couple of hours to nurse. The woman is a blessing. And it worked out fine. I will replace the electric adaptor when I get back to the states.
2) I was planning to purchase a few garments to round out my work wardrobe this fall when I start back at school because I am not quite back in my pre-baby clothes. But then I packed a capsule wardrobe for this conference and realized I do in fact have enough clothes that fit.
3) It has not been as comfortable as a nice, roomy airbnb, but the hostel provided for free by the conference organizers has been fine. We have made it work.
4) Back home my husband hasn't had time to spend any money because he has been watching the other three kids. 🙂 🙂 🙂
5) We did plan a birthday boys' outing for my husband and our two oldest sons because their birthdays are Friday and Saturday. My husband is taking the boys out to the river for floating and rock-collecting fun. Then they are making a cake from an Aldi mix.
God bless your mom!
I'm liking that bag in the first picture. Looks like it has bicycles on it? May I ask where it's from?
That's actually a pillowcase, and Sonia made it. 🙂 In fact, she sewed it with my friend Mia, who happens to be the friend we were visiting in Ohio. Mia taught Sonia how to knit too.
Crafty! Love the print!
1) free apples from my Mom’s tree - she kept suggesting things I could make with them until I broke it her that a bag of apples in a house with two growing boys will not be around to be made into anything!
2) started watching a documentary series with the kids on painting and art appreciation on curiosity stream - we purchased our subscription during their big promotion last year - a whole year for $12!
3)I made your red pepper basil mayo and we’ve been happily eating it with sandwiches all week. Thank you!
4)I have not been as on top of the vegetable garden as I would like, but we are still getting good greens, basil and handfuls of tomatoes.
5)my insurance just sent me a notice that I will get a $50 rebate for going in and getting my annual check up.
1-Knowing husband would be traveling this week I bought the bare minimum of grocery (Just the deals) so we could pantry challenge while he was out of town! It has been very nice!
2-Hit the consignment shops first to look for a homecoming dress for my daughter... she HATES shopping but wanted to go .. I braced myself for the frustration and tears that come with being outside of the *normal teen size range*...and ... we both were in shock at how well things went...We found a GORGEOUS floor length gown that would be perfect for winter formal.. and looked at 2 shorter dresses for homecoming.. Bought the gown to put away and checked out another local shop.. came back to the first shop and decided on a dress.. only to realize the zipper was broke... I scanned the receipt and when we got home did some scouring and found the dress on Poshmark.. for $5 less than the shop.. so pricing ends up being the same with shipping as in store with tax! 2 dressed for $125... ( the short one retails for $90.. I never found the long one online but others from that maker start out around $180...)
3- stopped in at Bath and Body works to use all my free product coupons( in my name, his ex wife of 22 years name and old homeowners of 23 years name! lolol) Let the girl restock her hand sanitizer stash this time
4- stopped in at a shoe store to see about what dressy sandal brands they carried that I might be able to buy extended sizes online.. ( need something to go with purchased dresses)... was blown away when daughter shrieks that she found a size 13 on the wall!!! Slight pump, silver strappy sandal that will go with both dresses.. on sale for 16.99! Snatched that up before it turned out to be an oasis moment! Now to spend a few weeks learning to walk in them normally and not like a longlegged baby deer...
5- Used a groupon I already had for a quick supper for the boys after we watched the girl's volleyball match.. we are hardly in that area of town and it was nearing expiration so that was great timing!
6- used my old navy visa ( that I only have for discounts to earn clothing points) to purchase my $450+ of sams club snacks for work.. love earning new jeans for the kids! lol
1) I redeemed shopping points for a voucher for a movie at the local cinema for two with snacks. We went and saw Toy Story.
2) After I went to yoga class for the last quarter, I handed in a certificate of attendance and got 60% of the fee back from my health insurance company. It is part of their program to keep people healthy to avoid high medical costs later.
3) After I talked to my sister whose wedding is next Saturday, I decided to not buy any new dress but wear one of the dresses I already own.
4) I will use an old banana my SO brought from work to make some muffins. No food waste and less inclination to buy some baked goods.
5) I will be going to a "Fridays For Future" demonstration tomorrow and was thinking to buy a sign or flag with their logo. Then I remembered that I still have some crafting supplies here and I made my own poster for free.
Apple had a recall on my laptop battery which they replaced for free, only took them 7 days turn around time.
I am reducing my gardening area and gave away a bunch of my hosta, my collection was around 100 named. Glad I was able to give them to some avid gardeners.
With a grand baby in the way I hit some sales for clothes and baby wipes.
My dogs obedience teacher gave me some coupons for free treats and a free bag of dog food.
Not frugal for me but I have been taking all my extra produce into work for my co-workers to eat.
Our building hosts a students get back to school classes for 4 weeks. They provide 2 meals per day, 1 hot 1 cold and then they throw all the food away when they are done for the day. The biggest food waste ever. There was enough to feed another 25 people some days...we asked them why they pitch it, they said it is required.
Glad your trip went so well (at least frugally and such.) I'll be traveling myself soon so I have a few related to that.
1.) I got into a discussion with someone about not liking a book that everyone else seemed to praise. I didn't like the author and it was made for people who take breadmaking way too seriously. I felt inspired to sell it after the conversation and listed it on eBay (less fees than Amazon) and it sold within a day for the price that most of the other ones were listed at. I was hanging on to it because my wife bought it for me because she thought I'd like it. I tried to but just didn't. I still felt bad selling it.
2.) There was a 20% off Amazon Warehouse Deals sale so I bought a rice cooker I've been eyeing for ages. Mine still technically works but it now sometimes dries out the rice on the bottom and it sticks. So I'll probably pass it on after owning it for over a decade.
3.) Took the family to the fair on Dollar Day. $1 to get in per person and rides were (mostly) $1.
4.) Got some good vacation related deals online.
5.) Planning on doing the exact same thing you did with our trip and bringing as much food as we can.
Good job on avoiding takeout. Sonia has picked up some great frugal skills!
1. I trash picked a broken wooden doll crib that I am fixing up to sell at the Christmas market my church has every year to benefit our youth. Even though this was completely free, it has proved to be challenging(probably why the owner trashed it). I even tripped over it yesterday causing another piece to break! The only expense is wood glue, paint(I have on hand), and I am adding some wide satin ribbon to tie onto the crib liner on for a decorative touch.
2. My daughter got a fuzzy Sherpa hoodie as a gift. She is so excited to wear it to school but it is way too big. They keep the air conditioners really cold in the classrooms. I took the hoodie completely apart to make it smaller. I'm not that great at sewing so this is risky on a high end hoodie but it's turning out well. So far, it doesn't look like it's been altered.
3. I continuing to hand paint wood slice ornaments for the church market. So far, I have 20 completed. We are charging $5 per ornament so, so far, that will be $100. I still have 30 more to paint! We will have made $250 if I get the job done....and they all sell!
4. I'm taking leftovers for lunch each day from home and continuing to drink lots of water.
5. My husband figured out that a credit card processing company has been charging him monthly for a machine he doesn't have for years!!! We will be getting back over $1000 for this error so I am thankful for that unexpected saving account we didn't sign up for, lol!
1. Oldest kiddo needed a book for his English class and I found a perfect copy on a neighborhood resale page for $1 instead of $10 on amazon
2. Had some fruit that was getting past it's prime, made the blueberries into a breakfast coffee cake for the kids and the strawberries into freezer jam
3. Found a pair of shoes that got shoved to the back of a drawer and never worn so I listed them on the same resale page, should sell for a good bit of what I paid for them
4. Found 2/3 of the books I want to read at our library, will patiently wait for the 3rd to be available for interlibrary loan!
5. DH is traveling off and on this week and next so I got the bare minimum from the store and am using pantry and freezer items this week and next to save on groceries
1. I've been trying to pantry and freezer eat lately. My puchased groceries this week were: two gallons of milk, English muffins, whole wheat bread loaf, yogurt, and bananas.
2. Made and froze blueberry muffins with berries gifted from a friend who picked too many with her granddaughter.
3. Made a couple quilt blocks from scrap fabric for an ongoing project made completely of scraps.
4. Purchased two ebooks for an upcoming trip using a gift card and discount code. Still have money left on the card!
5. Converted cash back points earned into actual cash.
that pizza looks so good...
1. My main FT has been holidaying at home - although unfortunately had lots errands/issues to sort out but grateful for the time to act & lovely sleep-ins
2. regular car service -nothing extra to fix yay!
3. Treated myself to brunch & a movie while car was being serviced - not really frugal but I did go to a cheap cinema & just took in a hot chocolate from a local café instead of buying popcorn
4. Got my multicooker for $80 off!! (think it's like an instant pot - slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, saute in one -& you can bake cakes in it, so excited
5. Frugal treat? - I did buy a pizza but went for large so got 3 meals for $13.90 & reheated by sandwiching 2 pieces together in baking paper in George - works great, the pieces peeled apart hot, no mess & no soggy!
Jennifer- That's crazy that the company was charging your DH for something he didn't own! I'm glad he recognized this error and hope he gets every penny back plus interest.
I usually have some doozies for frugal fab but nothing major this week. Just some easy stuff:
1)I had therapy and called insurance to see if they would cover it. As out-patient, they'll cover it at 50%. Better than nothing.... Savings- $600
2) The trees are producing- black walnuts & peaches. We have a few jalapenos, too. No apples yet. Savings- $100
3) I'm still doing a bit of Christmas shopping....I got some awesome after shave for $13 after using a gift card. I understand it's magical.... Savings- $25
4) Son is renting a college textbook instead of purchasing it. Savings- $80
5) Going to Target with a gift card for some toiletries. Savings- $25
Just discovered your site again and LOVE it - such great ideas for savings. Below are mine for the week:
1. Made egg muffins for quick and easy breakfasts - also extra protein in the mornings as I am trying to lose a few extra pounds.
2. Ordered a bolt of interfacing on line from WalMart and paid just .89¢/yard vs $1.97/yard at the store. It arrived in two days.
3. Used a gift card to purchase a much needed external hard drive for my eBay business rather than buying a pair of sandals that I wanted but didn't really need.
4. Stopped at Dollar Tree to pick up a few things but thought better of it when I discovered the line was so long - put the items back and really haven't missed any of them.
5. Discovered while at the Optical Shop that my eye insurance covered a new pair of frames this year. So in addition to new lenses, I will have new frames. Quite a savings!
Welcome back! 🙂
