Frugal Friday With Marsha--More Shopping



I have had a lot of fun this past week with the buy 5 get $5 sale.  I posted some of it last Friday, and this Friday I will post the rest of my shopping.  You know I love it!

For what is in this photo I spent $10.38.  I used $30.99 in coupons.  My savings was 83% with sales and coupons and I walked out with $15 in catalinas.

I paid $4.32 for what is in this photo.  I used $22.70 in coupons (including the $15 from the photo above).  I saved 90% with coupons and sales.  I walked out with another $5 catalina.

You can find more details about these 2 shopping trips in my post at: http://www.bubblews.com/news/626185-two-shopping-trips-today-woot-woot 

 For what I bought in this photo, I paid just .77!  I used $11.40 in coupons (including the previous $5 catalina)  A total savings of 96%.  Full details of the shopping trip can be found in my post: http://www.bubblews.com/news/631283-77-cents

Last Saturday I also hit those yard sales.  Granted, I did buy some unnecessary things----maybe mostly unnecessary things?   I have a post about that as well if you would like to check it out and "judge" for yourself.  http://www.bubblews.com/news/630759-some-of-my-yard-sale-finds
I do know that I had a great time shopping the sales and spending time with my youngest and oldest daughters.

Otherwise, I have hung all laundry on the line this past week, even including the sheets.  I haven't been hanging them out because of their size, but I will from now on.  
We keep our air conditioner on 80, which is fine by me.  We have replaced most light bulbs now with the energy saving ones.

The garden is growing along.  More rain would help with the cost of water  :)  I do have loads of weeding to do and a lot of hay to put down and around everything yet.

How has your week been?

Squidoo Hopping--How Are Your Lenses?



Happy Thursday--or I hope it is with you and squidoo.

How is everyone doing with the new filters, lens locking and such?
So far mine are still all fine.  It must be time for me to start doing some updates and see what happens.  I was warned that it's when I update is when I will run into problems hitting the new filters.  So far on the few that I have updated they have published fine.

I read a long squidoo post over in bubblews last night.  If you would like, you can check it out here:  http://www.bubblews.com/news/640173-squidoo-deleting-lenses
There are a lot of lensmasters over on bubblews, which I am so glad to see.   I've gotten to know so many of you through your lenses then of late through the facebook groups.

Please link up 1 or 2 lenses of your choice again this week, as well as any blog posts you have done.   Thanks!!
