Frugal Friday With Marsha -- Week in Review

Here we are to Friday again!  I've stayed busy as usual.   I'm on a mission, you know.

This past week I rec'd payment from these:

Checkpoints --  $2 in amazon   I run the videos through the checkpoints apps on one of my phones once I complete the 2 Swagbucks apps that I have on that phone.  I also put the app on my plan phone, and need to remember to check while in stores to see if there is anything to scan for points, plus do the check-ins.  You can also earn from checkpoints online as well.  (If you check it out, please use my email, marsha.seiberling@gmail.com as your bonus code)

Shopkick -- $2 amazon.   I have been checking in on the app for bonus points in the discover section daily now.  I don't go out often enough to get many walk in points or to scan items, but once winter is over, that will change.  Plus, I need to pay attention to what you can purchase to earn kicks as well. (If you aren't a member, and sign up, please use my code CARD450081 to ensure that you get 250 bonus points!)

PerkTV -- $1 to my Perk Plastik card.  This isn't going as fast as usual, but hope it picks up again soon.  I am attempting to save money to my card to be my spending money on a trip I hope to take in May.  I've had to spend some off my card twice this past week for groceries.  So many ways to earn Perk points!  (Use my code 860efbf6 and get 50 bonus points)

Swagbucks -- $25 in amazon.   I love that once a month you can get a $25 gift card for a discounted sb cost of 2200 instead of 2500 sb.  I always get amazon, then spend it to buy cat food and cat litter.


You Can Get Free Gift Cards For Shopping, Searching and Discovering What's Online at Swagbucks.com

Here is what I ordered, which will be delivered tomorrow:




Dillon's (Kroger) has a lot of good digital coupons right now.   Not sure if I will have money to shop with, but just in case, I have added every coupon to my card for anything we might buy!
Don't miss out on this week's freebie either.  This one expires on Valentine's Day instead of the usual 2 weeks later.

There is also a whole list of extra Recyclebank points to check out this week!  This will sure help me get closer to ordering more free items from One Twine!

Frugal Friday With Marsha -- Free Magazine Subscriptions and More

It sure seems that this week past by very quickly!

This past week, I finished crocheting all the fancy yarn that I had into headbands that I will use for gifts for the girls and women on my Christmas gift list.    I ended up with the 12 in the photo, plus 2 others that I've already gotten into my gift tote.   I do believe that is exactly what I need for all the females on my list to each get one.
I never imagined when I started crocheting them that I would end up with so many.  The best part??
I only paid $1 at a rummage sale for ALL of the yarn that I used!    Now that is frugal gift giving!

I cashed out for $25 PayPal with Swagbucks this past week and spent it just as quickly.  At Dillon's I bought cat litter because it was much needed and I haven't rounded up enough in Amazon credit to order it yet.  I got an awesome deal on Brummel & Brown margarine just when we were down to our last.   Dillon's has a $1 ecoupon on it and ibotta has a $1 rebate for it.  I love when I can get deals like that....doesn't happen for me as often as it used to.  I also used the 25 cent rebate on any crackers and bought the store brand for .89, as well as the 25 cent rebate on anything. 

Speaking of Dillon's, this week's Friday Freebie is sports water. Don't forget to go add it to your card.

Frugal Friday With Marsha -- From Rugs and Rags to Riches

My title is just my silly play on words.
As you know, I have been trying to work through the clean your house in 30 days in just 20 minutes a day list.  One day was bedroom.  I spent my 20 minutes starting to clean off my dresser.  Along the way I hung up some clothes, sorted some clothes, started a donation box, and ran across a pile of t-shirts that I had put in a sack at a rummage sale.
I pick them up that way super cheap.   I cut strips in rounds, then take the tops to make rags.  I'm stocked up on rags again, and eventually I will get to making a toothbrush rug with the strips.  (Still working on another rug right now with cotton fabric strips.)

Today's 20 minutes was surface clean living room and kitchen.  I didn't make it to the kitchen as I actually spent more than the 20 minutes dusting wall decorations as well as dusting the entertainment center and cleaning all the devices and glass.

I got in the black soap from Recyclebank and have given it to the granddaughter I intended it for.  This week I ordered One Twine Full Circle Home Tidy Dish Cloth Set.   I also happened to see that I could get a years subscription to Modern Farmer for 0 points!!!

I have been a member of MyPoints for just over 20 years, yes, you read that right, 20 years!  (December 8, 1997).   Only recently I am stepping up my game and making sure to get the daily 5 list done each day for the bonus points.  I'm in hopes this will net me a $5 amazon gift card each month.   I will be able to cash out tomorrow or Sunday, so I will know for sure next month if it's possible.

I am giving another app a try.  I'm almost to $3 PayPal payout.  I will post results and the link and such next week after I see if it really does pay.

Our mortgage went down $60 a month, but unfortunately my hubby's car quit and he had to re-do a loan to get another one. That loan payment went up $60.  hhmmm
I plan to get rid of all cable except internet.  I have Hulu and Amazon Prime both, which will be more than enough to find things to watch.  The problem has been that we didn't have a working controller for the PlayStation to use them.  I cashed in 1000 sb with Swagbucks and ordered a set of 2 brand new controllers.  I paid $6.75 after the $10 was taken off, plus I bought through the ibotta app for an extra 36 cents back.  (Yes, could have also shopped through Swagbucks for the same amount back in sb, but I'm also working towards getting my ibotta to the $20 PayPal payout) (And, I did a deal on Hulu with Swagbucks and earned back 2000 sb for taking the $5.99 a month deal)

Well, I better close this post for this week.  Don't forget to link up any frugal, simple living, deals, savings type posts you might have to share!

Frugal Friday With Marsha -- Rummage Sale, Freebies and More

This week has just flown by.  My apologies for not getting a Frugal Friday post up last week.  I was busy at an all day lap quilt day.  We made lap quilts for the Pleasantview Home in Inman, Kansas.  Right when that event was over I headed back to town for the monthly sit n' sew night at the church.

We were served lunch at the lap quilt event and I just ran into the store and bought a $1 Lunchable for my supper at the quilt shop.

I was so busy last Friday that I totally forgot to load up my Friday Freebie from Kroger stores!  Last week it was free m&m's too, so I'm sad missing out on free candy.  This week it's free Idahoan Potato Soup, so don't miss out!

Yesterday I posted about Daily Break.  I already went in today and played a little.  I hope you all have given it a try.  It's now on my to do daily list.  I can't wait to get enough points to trade in for an amazon gift card.  There are other choices as well as what to do with the points you earn for having fun.  I'm posting the image again that you can click on if you didn't get a chance to check it out yet.



The church where we take the children on Wednesday evenings for classes and activities is having a rummage sale tomorrow.   I love church rummage sales.  There is always so much to choose from, and that sure is the case at this one! 
We got to rummage Wednesday night.  Sure, there were loads of things I would liked to have picked up, but no need to buy things that we really don't need.

I ended up with a pair of Nike's for $1, 4 bags of thread for 50 cents each, a bag of baby bottles for $1, a sippy cup and toddler snack cup and a Pampered Chef sandwich maker.    I think I did well for just $5 total.

We will be going back tomorrow at noon when the clothes go on a sack sale.  We seen plenty of nice clothes, but for us, the prices of $1 and more was just too much to pay.  I'm hoping to find a couple pairs of good jeans for myself and maybe some winter shirts as well as baby clothes.

If you've not signed up for the Dollar Tree email list, I hope you will do that as well.  It's free and you will have the heads up on special products, get recipes and fun ideas, as well as coupons.



Last, but not least, this is a really good coupon that I want to share!  Buy one, get one free on Tum-E Yummies.   Our kids love these and it's great to have the bottles to refill with other drinks later too!
Hurry!!  This expires October 30!

Frugal Friday With Marsha -- Little of This, Little of That

Last week was tremendously more busy than what my life usually is, and I didn't get a Frugal Friday post written up.  This past week has also been busy!

Frugally in my own life, I'm not sure what's gone on really.

Dillon's (Kroger) has had a catalina deal going that for every $15 you spend in Pet Pride products you get a coupon that is good for $2 off your next shopping order.  It's good through October 7th.  When I seen that a month ago, I stopped ordering my cat food from amazon with earned amazon codes and started buying the cat food at Dillon's.
Honestly, it's cheaper to buy it at the store anyway as it's $9.99 for 16 lbs.

Here are a couple of good blogs to follow to keep up with the current Catalina deals:
TheCentsableShoppin and
PennyPinchinPaul

October 7th will be here too soon when the offer ends though.  This morning I used my most recent $2 off any purchase coupon and was able to only pay 50 cents for a gallon of milk.

Funny story when I was buying the milk......there was a lady in the store also buying milk.  She asked me if I had heard about the kidnapping.  Here I thought she was being serious until she then told me it turned out ok because he woke up.  LOL!
Her next joke was to ask me why seagulls live by the sea.  Well, if they lived by the bay they would be baygulls (bagels).
It was pretty early for my brain to be processing jokes  hehe.  They were both cute jokes though.

The Kansas State Fair had it's last day this past Sunday.  I love going to the fair and just walking around, but it sure is a hard thing to do without money!  I had my 6 gate passes that I got for just $3 each for entering items in to the fair and hubby got 2 free gate passes from work.  
We found that we could go take an agriculture test and get a coupon for a free ice cream cone at the Dairy Bar.  We did that twice.
We took our own food and drinks in with us, which we always do.  It's a really rare occasion that we actually buy any food inside the fair----as good as it is, it's so expensive (and unhealthy).
You walk through the buildings and pick up free items---notepads, pens, pencils, clips, toothpicks, emery boards, books, and more.  There are also all the dips and soups and other foods that you get to sample as well.
We couldn't afford to go to a concert so we just stood outside the grandstand and watched it for free on the big screen as we listened to the music.  It was Charlie Daniels that I wanted to hear this year.
Here is one of the pictures I took that night of a ferris wheel, and one that I took at the free acrobat show as well.

I think I will end this post with some sweepstakes you might want to enter:

Win a Popcorn Factory NFL Tin worth $45
