Frugal Friday With Marsha -- May the 4th Be With You


Excuse my absence last Friday as I was gone to a quilt retreat.  A very frugal one I might add since it didn't cost anything to attend!  I had taken food for my meals for the weekend and didn't even end up eating hardly any of the food that I brought.  A lot of the other ladies brought meal foods to share.  The only requirement was to bring snack foods for the sharing table, but quilters tend to be very generous.

I really want to start this post out with a great deal from The Quarto Group for any of you that are Star Wars fans, or have friends and family that are.

One thing you will notice missing from my Frugal Friday posts now is my list of online and app earnings for the week.  I've decided I want to do a once a month post for those from now on, so watch for that post at a later date.


A little catching up to do from missing a week.

I took advantage of a good sale at Kohl's and was able to get new pillows and bath towels with their great sale of $2.99 each.   I applied for a credit card, even though I knew I would be denied, because just applying got me another 25% off.  This made each item just $2.24!
We've needed both towels and pillows for awhile now.



I've been having some luck selling on LetGo.  I've been mostly listing baby clothes for now.
I stopped at a church rummage sale last Saturday morning on the way to the quilt retreat and found an awesome deal for me!!   I got a bag with 3 skeins of yarn, lots of spools of thread, embroidery thread, buttons, a pin cushion, and lots of other misc items.   I listed all the craft items that I won't use on LetGo for the same $3 that I paid for the whole bag.  That's not sold yet, but there was also misc pieces of jewelry in the bag as well.  I did sell those for $3, getting the money back that I paid for the bag!


I am upset with myself for totally forgetting about the Friday Freebie last week!  It didn't come to my mind until Saturday when it was too late.   I don't know what I missed  😞
This week it's free Dorito's, that's not to be missed!



I've decided to get back to sending for freebies and filling my mailbox again.  This is a great post to get started with!!  Lots that they report are still available and just a click away.

One last thing for this week.   I am so happy!  I finally have a pair of tennis shoes that are comfortable, fit correctly, and don't hurt my bad toe.  I used some of my earned amazon to order them.  I LOVE being able to earn amazon!!
