I had to get dressed up several times recently, and I was reminded that a scrubs wardrobe is a simple wardrobe!
1. I sewed my button back on
I wore these pants to the nursing conference I attended with Brittany, and I noticed the threads on one side of the button were starting to come off.
So, I sewed it back on while I was on the phone with Lisey. Multi-tasking for the win.
2. I got some books from the library
At the conference I went to, the keynote speaker recommended a couple of books, so I put them on hold on my library app, including this 2021 book:
3. I got a Bath and Body Works freebie
I had a birthday gift card to spend there, and while I was in the store, I realized I had a birthday reward to use. Sweet!
I was able to get any $9.95 or less item for free, and it was good until the end of May, even though my birthday was at the end of April.
4. I reduced my PT appointment frequency
My shoulder mobility has been a lot better, so I suggested to my PT that we try going down to every other week this month, with me agreeing to keep doing my exercises at home, of course.
And he agreed, so that’ll save me some decent money right off the bat because unfortunately, I have a $60 copay for each session!
I am purposely not going to add up how much I’ve spent on PT since December (it would be depressing) and I will just remind myself that it’s way cheaper than surgery (and cheaper than missing work.)
5. I didn’t buy any new clothes for dressing up
I recently had to dress up for the conference, the evidence-based-practice project presentation, and Nurses Night Out, and I did not buy any new shoes or clothes.
I do think I probably should buy a few business casual things (it’s a pretty bare spot in my wardrobe). However, I was too short on time to do that, so I accidentally saved money. 😉
Your turn! What frugal things have you been up to lately?
