1. I got some grocery markdowns
I always check out the meat and dairy markdowns at this store and this time around, I got a package of boneless, skinless chicken thighs:
And also some fancy individual yogurts, which I rarely buy.
I tend to stick with my homemade yogurt (no yogurt is more affordable than that!), but sometimes I enjoy a little flavor tour of marked-down Greek yogurts.
2. I renewed my van’s registration for only one year
You can renew for up to three years, but there is exactly zero discount for doing so.
I don’t really want to fork over almost $600 if no benefit is offered (I’d rather keep my money in my savings account!), plus, since I don’t know what my long-term plans are for the van, I’d rather just take it year by year.
I do pay my car insurance annually, and that’s a big chunk of change. But I’m willing to do that because it lowers the total amount for the year.
I need some incentive to pay ahead! 😉
3. I am officially taking ethics at the community college
I think I told you my approval request went through, but by that time, the ethics class had a waitlist. I joined, not feeling too hopeful, but lo and behold, I made it in. Whew.
This will be cheaper than taking it at the BSN school, and it will also probably be less frustrating.
Of course, I promptly submitted my paperwork to get reimbursed from my hospital.
I think I am very nearly done submitting paperwork to my hospital now, because I only have the spring 2027 semester left to register for! Yay!
Also, I did submit all of these classes before I went part-time, so I’m hoping I will still get the full reimbursement amount. We shall see…either way, part-time was still the right choice for me for now.
4. I hopped on my Safeway app
I needed to stop in for some milk (I wasn’t near an Aldi!), so I pulled up my app and snagged a $3/$30 coupon, and I also grabbed some good sale items.
And, of course, I used my 5% student discount.
Mine renews in October, so I will have it until October 2027, even though I will graduate in May of 2027.
I will enjoy my 5% as long as I can. 😉
5. I ordered an EZ Pass transponder
I realized I never got one for my Civic, which means that right now, if I drive on a toll road or bridge, I’m going to pay the higher bill-by-mail price.
I’m not a fan of paying higher prices, as we all know. 😉
So, now a $0 transponder is on its way to me. Sweet.
Your turn! What frugal things have you been up to lately?
