Five Frugal Things | sun-dried tomato oil
1. I'm using my sun-dried tomato oil
(a tiny frugal thing!)
I get my sun-dried tomatoes from Aldi (of course), and I went through my last jar pretty quickly from making Marry Me Chickpeas.
Since the oil is nicely flavored from the tomatoes, I saved it to use when making fried eggs.
2. I washed and froze my spinach
I ended up with two bags of spinach because I bought one and then remembered my Hungry Harvest box came with one.
Whoops!
The great thing is, spinach can be frozen.
I washed my Aldi spinach, picked out any funky leaves, and spread it out on a baking sheet for freezing.
Then I put it all into a zippered freezer bag for use in smoothies or in cooking.
3. I filled out the paperwork to accept a scholarship
Back before I started nursing school, I got a scholarship from my local delegate, and although it's only $250 a semester, it is the gift that keeps on giving because it keeps renewing each semester!
I just have to fill out some paperwork every year, and then I'm good to go.
That was a very worthwhile scholarship to apply for!
4. I used my CVS birthday gift
I still had a $3 birthday coupon in my account, and I combined it with some sales and my $10 monthly CarePass credit to get a shampoo, a conditioner, and a heat protectant spray for $6.
Plus, I got a $2 ExtraBucks reward after my purchase. 🙂
As usual, I placed my order online and did in-store pickup because my local CVS's prices are almost always higher than the online price.
5. I redeemed my Fetch points for an Airbnb gift card
You know how one of my survive-the-BSN-program tactics was to take some local trips?
I figured an airbnb gift card would be a perfect use of my points. It's only $25, but you know, I'll take a $25 discount. 🙂
(Fetch is kind like Ibotta; you scan grocery receipts and get points. If you want to try it, use my code QG8V2, and we will both get 2000 points.)
