Thrifty Thursday - August 9

For the past couple of weeks, I've started building back our stockpile for school coming up. That means cracker packs, and individual applesauces, granola bars and pasta sauce, and soup for quick dinners. Nothing is worse than coming home from a long day of school and having to spend a long time fixing something to eat. With that said, I may be putting "Thrifty Thursday" on hold for a while, or bumping it back to once a month, as school starts back and I become much busier! Here are this week's totals:

Thrifty Thursday - August 2

There were some things this week that haven't been on sale for a while, so I took advantage and stocked up on Eggo Nutrigrain waffles (for me) and Nissin Chow Mein (for Jamie). I also got a bottle of John Frieda Root Awakening Shampoo for only $1.49! It is normally $5.49, so I was pretty happy about that. Here's the total for the week:

Thrifty Thursday - July 26

This was another week of not buying that much. We just got our new co-op batch in, so we didn't need too much in the way of food. I did do some stocking of chapstick, as we are on our last sticks, and I also got a John Frieda shampoo for $1.50, which was only 27% of its original price!

Thrifty Thursday: Clothing Edition

I've been wanting to do a clothing entry for a while, but I don't really buy clothes very much anymore. However, I was so very lucky to get some gift cards and money for my birthday and so I took my frugality to stretch those gifts as much as I could. Here is what I came up with:




I shopped at Old Navy, Forever 21 and Loft. I bought twelve shirts, two pairs of shorts, seven pairs of underwear, one pair of capris, one skirt, and nine pairs of earrings. The total amount of money I saved versus the original price of these items was... $153.93.

It really helps to go shopping when they have huge clearances going on, such as an additional 50% off already marked sale items. There's really not too much reason to pay full price for clothes, as they always go on sale at some point (unless it's a really fast selling item).


Where do you all shop for clothes to get the most bang for your buck?

Thrifty Thursday - June 28

This was a pretty big shopping week, which is somewhat surprising, since we got a new batch of co-op produce on Saturday. However, we bought a lot of baking products to help us with that produce, and I stocked up on lots of soup this week, as it was FINALLY on sale again after months! I was able to get free Pringles at CVS, as well as a free Dole Smoothie Shaker at Publix. Here are this week's totals:

Thrifty Thursday - June 21

This week was one stop shopping, with me only going to Publix. They are currently having a 'breakfast sale,' so the majority of what I bought was breakfast foods: waffles, muffin tops, Breakfast to Go, grits, etc.
As far as good deals, I was able to get a six pack of Magnum mini ice cream bars for 50 cents... and they were originally $6.00! That was nice to get a fun treat for so cheap :-)

Thrifty Thursday - June 14

Well, can't say that I stayed on budget this week, BUT I've been quite under for a few weeks, so it evens out (I think!). I didn't get a whole lot from Publix, but I had to get some higher priced items, like toilet paper, multivitamins, and bodywash and deodorant for Jamie. I also stocked up on Coke since Publix had another of their Buy 2 Get 1 Free sales. Here are the totals for this week:

This was a pretty decent shopping week for us. I got a 3 pack of Dr. Scholl's insoles for 33% of its original price, as well as free Uncle Ben's rice. We stocked up on coffee creamer for Jamie, and got some Bird's Eye Voila meals, which are yummy! Here's the totals for the week:

Thrifty Thursday - May 31

I'm going to change up the format for Thrifty Thursday for a while, to more of a narrative, rather than a breakdown. I'll tell you about any super deals I got, as well as still spell out the totals.

This week wasn't a really big shopping week for us. Publix didn't have a whole lot on sale that we like, but I did get FREE Cool Whip and stocked up on Mott's 100% Natural Apple Juice, which is absolutely delicious! We also had to get a few "needs" at Wal Mart though, so that cut into our savings a bit. So here's the final:

TOTAL SPENT: $34.60
TOTAL SAVED: $19.50

We Joined a Co-Op

If you've looked at my Thrifty Thursday blogs in the past month, you may have noticed a sudden lack of produce. Well, that is thanks to the fact that Jamie and I have joined a co-op. We pay $20, once a month, for a ton of food! It has helped us with our goal of eating healthier, eating foods we probably wouldn't normally buy AND forcing us to learn how to cook some things.

We forgot to take a picture of the first batch of produce we got, so here's a list: red apples, oranges, strawberries, bananas, kiwi, beans, cabbage, carrots, corn, cucumbers, cilantro, greens, lettuce, yellow onions, spring onions, red potatoes, sweet potatoes, yellow squash, tomatoes, zucchini, and mushrooms.
Now, if you know me, you know how much I loathe cooking. I will 'Pin' food and recipes all day long, but when it comes to actually making it... that's a different story. So, I'm proud of us for buckling down and making stuff. Granted, it's all pretty easy, if I can do it :-)

Besides the requisite salads, here are some of the other things we made.

These are greens that Jamie cooked.
I'm not a big fan of them, but Jamie loves them.
You'll have to ask him for the recipe!

Here's the recipe for our homemade salsa: From our produce stock, we used fresh cilantro, yellow onion and spring onion. We didn't have enough fresh tomatoes, so we drained a can of Hunt's diced tomatoes and a can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies. We chopped up the onions and cilantro, then added them with the tomatoes into the blender and made it smoother. "(The picture is before it was blended) For a final touch of flavor, we seasoned with garlic salt and oregano. It was delicious!

These are baked zucchini chips. Although they look rather large, they're actually very tiny. I used this recipe, with a couple of alterations: Baked Zucchini Chips. I would recommend using a slicer b/c I had a mix of crispy and soft due to the fact that I sliced them by hand. I also ended up baking them for an hour and a half. As far as seasoning, I would use a grinder. That was the only thing I could figure out that would not put too much. Let me know if you figure something else out. In any case, these were really good. Hopefully next time I can more to be crispy!

I got the recipe for this roasted squash from my friend Mamie's blog. I used spring onion instead of red onion, and I didn't have any fresh spices, so I used dried basil and dried minced garlic. I actually made this twice, once using coconut oil and once with canola. The coconut was better because somehow it didn't seem as greasy, plus it just gave it a little bit of added flavor. Also, make sure to cut the squash into bigger pieces than normal, since they will get much smaller when cooked!


I'm one of those people that like to put all kinds of things in my salads: veggies, fruit and nuts. One of my favorites to make is a strawberry salad. In this particular one, I used lettuce, tomato, mushroom, mandarin oranges, strawberries, sliced almonds and pistachios. Top with a raspberry walnut vinaigrette or some type of asian dressing, like sesame ginger. Yum, yum!

In addition to this, we made Baked Sweet Potatoes, had sliced cucumbers with soy sauce, cooked Corn on the Cob, made a strawberry kiwi salad, taco salad and cooked carrots.

Here is our new batch of produce we got yesterday. Leave any recipe ideas for these new veggies in the comment section!!

The Book Dispensary

Back in January, I bought a Living Social deal to The Book Dispensary. I didn't really know anything about the place (other than it was a used bookstore), but with a deal that only requires me to pay "$25 for $75 worth of books," I was sold! Anyway, as my deal expires tomorrow, I finally made the quick trip over to get my books!

The Book Dispensary is a nice little place. I was thankful that it was very clearly labeled and organized. Jamie and I spent a few minutes in the fiction section before we went straight to the children's section. After all, I was technically here to get books for (hopefully) my (future) classroom!

All paperbacks are 40% off the original price and hardbacks are as listed. My total, plus tax, came to $76.01. Therefore, I only paid $1.01 out of pocket. Plus the deal itself, I only paid $26.01 for over $120 worth of books!! Here's what I scored:


Thump, Quack, Moo  Doreen Cronin & Betsy Lewin
Freight Train  Donald Crews
The Teeny Tiny Ghost  Kay Winters
The Night Before Kindergarten  Natasha Wing
Just Grandpa and Me  Mercer Mayer
The New Baby  Mercer Mayer
