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.)
Your turn! What frugal things have you been up to lately?
